Panpsychism (believed in by those who know What particle physics is but are uneasy With “Big Bang” as a search term) has its limits I suspect, but you must admit its grandeur As an indispensable myth; and as a fictional Label for a dream factory, its worthiness To stand alongside Monumental Pictures; A name to be reckoned with, to circle the globe Beyond even the bounds of Christendom. But when the world is paganized, who will be Charged, as Jonah was, with warning it to repent? And where will he flee, when he finds that he fears Man more than God, and the idols made by men Even more, another deracinated thinker Thrown overboard; then realizing as he sinks Into the terrible jaws of the sea that, in truth, He only feared what they might think of him; There are things worse than facing Nineveh.
