"The money you pay me gets you through the front door and that is all. Now we need to strike a bargain. I am prepared to teach, if you are prepared to practice. And if you're not then I would prefer never to see you again."
John Kells

And it is, purely, a matter of preparation. We are constantly preparing ourselves to begin. And in this sense the reality we inhabit is messianic. There is always something – some Other – about to arrive which threatens to change (invert) everything. And it is this future, this dangerous prospect, this change of heart, which we work and pray for.
