OUR MISSIONλ ο γ ο ς is Greek for “word.” The discipleJohn used “Logos” as an epithet for Jesus,invoking language as an image of incarnation,the Word made flesh. In Christianity,Logos became personal. BecauseChrist clothed himself in flesh, he becamea life giving light to us, revealing the truthof all things. The Yale Logos takes on thisname because our Mission is also personaland incarnational. We believe that byloving Christ and our fellow learners passionatelywith our whole heart, soul andminds, we align ourselves with Yale’s pursuitof truth and light.SUMBISSIONS & INQUIRIESyale.logos@gmail.comONLINEwww.yalelogos.comwww.facebook.com/YaleLogosInstagram @yalelogosDESIGNDesign by Hannah TurnerDesign Team: Lily Lawler, Marcos BarriosPhotography Credits:tinyurl.com/LogosReconstructingPhotosReconstructing: Fall 2022
letter from the editorMatthew 7:25, “And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the windsblew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had beenfounded on the rock.” (ESV)Dear Reader,As children, my siblings and I would present our parents with the Lego houseswe’d built and ask them to be our building inspectors. They would shake thehouse around a little bit and put some pressure on it, and show us which partsof our walls began to crumble. And then we would go and rebuild the weakparts of our houses, loving the challenge of building something that wouldlast.And perhaps our lives are not so different from Lego houses. When we findourselves under pressure, we can see the fault lines running through the assumptionswe had taken for granted. We find ourselves forced to reconstructthe opinions and beliefs we had relied on.But, for Christians, this should be exciting. We know how to build strongerhouses. We have confidence that the life built on Christ is one that will endure,so even when the rains fall and the floods come, a house built on the rock—built on a foundation of the Gospel—will stand.So we’re not afraid of storms. We’re eager to strip away all the facades untilonly God’s eternal truth will be left. And when all we have is the frameworkand foundation of God’s word, we can rebuild our worldviews on the truth.Logos originally planned to write an unthemed issue this year. But as our articlesbegan to take shape, we found shared themes. We were all writing aboutrestructuring our lives, on an individual, institutional, and societal level—fromchildhood to deathbed. About reassessing our perspectives on creation, ourrole in it, and our responsibility to the people we share it with.This issue offers new outlooks on friendship, on Mary Oliver, on Transcendentalismand on Google Calendars. But my prayer is that each of these articleswould encourage us to disassemble our habits and preconceptions and societalexpectations, and to rebuild our lives on truth. When we find ourselveswith the opportunity to reconstruct our lives, I hope we’ll ask—what is strongenough to stand?Sincerely,Amelia DilworthEditor-in-Chieflogos . 3
