I am sorry I missed the Basil conversation. I would have sadly been no great help to the conversation. I have Covid and am in, what I hope to be (should symptoms continue to improve) my last day of isolation at home.
It's been a relatively routine sickness for me though one that has completely taken away my capacity to do intellectual of physical work. And, wow, is that a reminder of the frailty of the body. Made me think a lot about what it means to imitate Christ when you simply *cannot* physically perform great acts of sacrificial mercy but only receive them. There's something there too, I think.
