[Dialogue] Brian Stanfield

[James Wiegel]

So, I had a dream last night, and Joe Mathews was up in heaven holding a 5:00 a. m. collegium for as many of the heavenly host as were up at that hour, and he was going around and asking each one there what, exactly, they had learned about life. And it was a big group and there were lots of answers.  And he had just got around where Robert Frost, the American Poet and Soren Kierkegaard, the Danish existentialist were next, when Brian Stanfield showed up, and the only seat left was up in front next to Kierkegaard.  So Joe said, to Brian, “You’re late” and then waited in silence with the assembly while Brian squeezed through the rows all the way up to the front and sat in that last seat.
   
  And Joe said, “Next, Robert Frost, what did you learn about life?”
   
  And Robert Frost said, “In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life:  it goes on.”
   
  And Joe said, “And you, Mr. Kierkegaard, what did you learn?”
   
  And Kierkegaard said, “A self is a relation that in relating itself to itself and willing to be its relation grounds itself transparently in the power that posits it.”
   
  At that point, Brian stood up to full height, looked at Mathews, then turned to Kierkegaard and said, “That, Soren, went right over my head.”
   
  And the whole assembly laughed.
