"cacospel truth" Easter 2019
One basic unconscious element of how people here normally ‘live, move and have their being’ that I reject as deeply and consistently as I can — even if it is the absolute cacospel* truth — is that the mundane life is enough.
*cacospel — caco- bad + spell- tale. Antonym to gospel.
Neologism created by Stephen Lapeyrouse for Howard Gamble, Easter, April 21, 2019.
