“Those who are at present so eager to be reconciled with the world at any price must take care not to be reconciled with it under this particular aspect: as the nest of The Unspeakable. This is what too few are willing to see… Be human in this most inhuman of ages; guard the image of man for it is the image of God.”

Thomas Merton, Raids on the Unspeakable

And so another week has ended.

The Dollar gave up a bit of its overbought gains, allowing gold and silver to rise back up a bit.

Stocks held their levels, after another remarkable run higher, prompted in part by weaker than expected data on inflation.

Have a pleasant weekend.
