Very glad to be reminded of Peter Maurin this morning. I've often had difficulty seeing him as co-equal to Dorothy Day who seems to have been so much more active. As the years go by, however, I hear the voice of the author of Easy Essays more clearly & more often.

Not easy for those at a distance to appreciate, though.
