The conspiracy is here. It starts now.
I'm in.
honora is in, and bringing cheesecake. (No cheesecake, no in.)
We need someone to bring coffee, and I'm talking real coffee - no cafe americana. No bilge water. Black gold.
I have a few others to invite.
Do you?
It may be like the blind leading the blind, but the darkness in which we so often fumble is His. And His darkness is, of course, preferable to our own light.

1) Okeydoke, I'll go see if anyone is speaking to me.
2) Are we gonna have to confess this?
3) Can we get t-shirts saying, "I'm In" -- and leave it a mystery?
:-)
1) I'll pray they are.
2) No. Unless we plot AGAINST beauty, truth and goodness.
3) Yes. And then we'll smear them with cheesecake and tie-dye them in espresso.
Aaaaaahhh!!!
Buon giorno! You may - you must - bring your Italianesque touch to our conspiracy. Certamente. Per favore.
BTW, as long as I have someone fluent in Italian on the line, what is the difference between arrivederci and arrivederla? Is that a singular/plural thing? My grammar is no good...
Va bene. Andiamo!
lo capisco.
e grazie mille!
You will help me brush up on my Italian, as I have forgotten the very little I ever knew!
Saluto di benvenuto!
Oh, my, I love tie-dye..
Oh, but isn't tiramisu fattening? *gasp..
Shoot, I can't brush up on Italian, Spanish, nor even on Gregg shorthand. I don't want to fall behind, tho', so I will brush up on my sign language. For now, besides signing "My cat is white," here's the only phrase I'm sure of ...
(Did you see it? I signed, "I love you people.")
"So it's not fattening! Especially virtual tiramisu! "
Oh, that's a relief.
I have intrigued myself with the espresso tie-dye idea. I'll have my teenager try it and get back to you all.
Honora has some experience getting cyber-friends together, so let's put her in charge of our real-world meeting. I vote to meet in Italy, because everything is better on the boot (right, forget me not?). None of us will be able to afford this convention until 2107, but we can dream...
Not that I'm on my way (or can get away, for that matter), but just so I can place you, whereabouts are you, forget me not? Because maybe someday I will return to Italy and it would be nice to know where I'm headed ;-)
Io voglio fare un vacanza... Che tempo fa?
I won't make it for the feast of St. Donatus, but maybe the Grapes Festival?
Autumn in Italy...
Do you have room for my 7 children?
;-)
Welcome, Tess - good to see you here!
We are longing to form a "conspiracy of truth and beauty to plot against the nihilism of the day." How's that for a broad mission statement?
It is a "cospirazione delle contemplative," a "breathing together of contemplative spirits," if you will. A quiet conspiracy, and a silent revolution.
We will pray, and think, and sing together. And eat cheesecake (NY style, plain), and drink serious serious serious coffee. ;-)
And we will draw near to the Son so that we catch Fire, and we will spread that Fire gently, praying that it will become a great conflagration.
And we will eat cheesecake and drink serious coffee. Did I say that already?
I'm personally just hoping for a meaningful conversation with like-minded individuals (which is why I invited you), without any posturing or delirium.
Let's just talk about what our hearts long for - because we are longing for the same Thing. We are all in love with the same Person. We are all hoping for the same Vision.
Whew.
I think I've found the prayer for this conspiracy. I'll post it when I find another minute.
Hope you stay with us Theresa/Alma/Tess.
