UPDATE 1 May 2014. The liturgy mentioned below has now been revised a couple of times. For the latest news please click on this link.
Last night three of us gathered to try out the Epicurean "liturgy" I had compiled a few years ago that I mentioned in a recent post called
"An, as yet, only imagined Epicurean Gathering to meditate, to philosophise, and to eat together." It was, I'm pleased to say, a successful and rewarding event. Having now done it for real a few minor changes have been made. The revised form can be found at the links below:
This morning, with thoughts of
Epicurus and
Lucretius very much in my mind (
and with an edition of their works in my bag) I went out for a cycle and walk along
the Roman Road near Cambridge. In a beautiful flower strewn meadow I ate my sandwiches and drank a flask of tea before lying on my back for half an hour to rest and read their wonderful words. Below are a few photos from the ride/walk.
