Mel writes: “Tonight we open Season 18 of Veritas, and Neil Kramer returns at the moment when clarity is needed most. Neil never appears during quiet chapters. He arrives when the atmosphere tightens, when the horizon shifts, when people sense a deeper truth moving beneath the noise. And right now, the air is very thin.

In a climate like this, truth-telling has become a countercultural act. The real question is how to remain spiritually upright in a world shaped by intentional confusion. How to keep agency, clarity, and inner strength as the old structures fall away. Tonight we go directly into that territory. No filters. No evasion.”

Love wandering around this place. It's a sheltered estuary in rural NW Washington State, bordered by woodland, rivers, and forested mountains. Abundant in life, both aerial, aquatic, and land-based. Home to eagles, hawks, harriers, ospreys, owls, cormorants, herons, orcas, dolphins, seals, otters, coyotes, mountain lions, black bears. The latter two viewed ideally from a distance. Beautiful weather here for mid-April too. And best of all, nobody around! So tranquil and replenishing. Thank God, even amid the pervading fallenness of the sepulchral world classroom, there are precious moments and spaces like these. So important to carve-out time as best we can in our busy lives. Perspective re-balance. Precious spiritual practice.

One of the most common questions people ask me is, "why do so many people have zero interest in pursuing truth?" Whilst they may say that truth is valuable to them, in multiple areas of life, it palpably isn't. Why is this? My gut answer is because people rightly associate truth with pain. And they are unwilling to suffer. Period. So they busy themselves with everything in life except truth. Solomon wrote piercingly about this and connected themes in his book Ecclesiastes, found in every bible. Dripping with wisdom. Every paragraph. If you're not familiar with it, go and read it... slowly. The whole thing is only 8-10 pages long in most bibles. The backdrop painting behind the quote is The Monk By The Sea (1808) by Caspar David Friedrich.
