Introduction to PATHOS
What you hold in your hand is the humble effort of a few like-minded people who want to change the world for the better. Unlike others with a similar aspiration, we are not attempting to eradicate world hunger, argue for economic equality, or promote similar issues concerning social justice and human welfare. While these are all admirable pursuits, what it is we seek to do is change the way people think. We want to change the way people see the world, and what it is they believe about God, themselves, and the universe.
Perhaps the most important thing about a person is what he believes. It literally makes him who he is. It guides his life and informs all his thoughts and decisions. For good or ill what a man believes is the substance of his being. That being so, to change the world in a deep and meaningful way, you must first change how and what people believe.
Popular belief today suggests that faith and culture, especially as it applies to public life, should be separate. But if people are made by what they believe, and those same people are what make up a culture, then faith is an inextricable part of that culture. It is where that intersection takes place, where faith and culture come together, influence one another in positive and negative ways, that is the subject and focus of this magazine.
So we present to you what we hope is but the first of many offerings. Inside you will find articles, fiction, poetry, essays, and some un-classifiables. Knowing that to change how people think and believe you must appeal to the heart as well as the mind, we include these products of the imagination. For what touches the heart so well as poetry, story and art?
This being an art in itself, we expect an increased excellence of the craft and the finished product with the passage of practice and time. So as you look over this and judge its contents, think both on what it is, and what it could be. If it challenges you in any of your beliefs, enlightens, or enriches you in any way, then our efforts are a success. And if you are transformed for the better, then we have aided the work of the Master of all good art, and in aiding him, we have served the good of all.
And if in the process you develop a little pathos—passion, depth of feeling, a fire for life—then that is good too.
Enjoy,
Robert W Cely
Delusional or Kangaroosional?
by Graham Kell
We all have an everyday world draped in the mundane curtains of laundry and lunchtimes. It’s where we spend most waking hours. Maybe that’s why we pull back the curtain in our sleeping hours and let our minds roam another world, of nonsensical creatures and fantastical beaches...until we wake up, that is. Then the realism of the first world out-yells the idealism of the second. Myth is that magical thread that connects the two; the seen to
