The reason Catholic Lockwood works so well as a concept is the Catholic "both/and." A Christian world view is one of the only places where the tension of two opposing emotions felt at one time are not only allowed to coexist, but actually encouraged to coexist. We refer to the sin of Adam as "O Happy Fault" because, while it was a bad thing, in God's infinte mercy we are better off in Christ than we would have been in Adam. Our King wore a crown of thorns. The day humanity brutally crucified God we call "Good Friday." Christ's wounds are visible in His glorified, resurrected body. We preach "Memento mori" and "Tal'itha Cu'mi" in the same breath. The world is a fallen, broken mess, and simultaneously a masterpiece, teeming with transcendental beauty pulling hearts heavenwards. "Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning."
That tension, that dichotomy, is the world of Lockwood and Co. A world where a lonely orphaned boy is the human embodiment of sunshine. Where a death glow saves more than one life. Where the main characters fight ghosts every night, and then come back to laugh around a breakfast table. Where the love and light of domestic life keeps the darkness at bay. The way the wrenching grief of each of the characters leads to a found family. How they wouldn't have been brought together without their deep suffering. Nothing will make Lockwood stop missing Jessica, but there was a beauty in her life, and a redemption in her death. Nothing will make Lucy "get over" her old team, but their loss brought her to her best friends, to an emotionally safe home. Kipp's can't regain his talent (besides the goggles), but suddenly he matters to a group of people because of who he is, not because of what he can do. The loss and the joy coexist. The darkness and the light. The life and the death. The suffering and the consolation. The mourning and the dance. Bliss and Blunder. They are all a broken hallelujah, stained glass windows made from shattered hearts.
That's why Catholic Lockwood works so well.

Lucy Carlyle grows up surrounded by people who are already dead.
Jacobs and Lucy’s mother are both dead in one way: fear. Jacobs is afraid of ghosts, the enemy that he can’t see and can’t fight. He covers up his fear with drink and he places others in the line of fire, and the more he does this, the more the losses he does suffer are unable to touch him. He offers Lucy a job because another boy just died; this is lucky: she can have his uniform. The boy who died is left nameless; his possessions are passed on without any sentimentality, his whole existence is just an open slot to be filled with another nameless child who will, more than likely, ultimately meet the same fate. When Lucy feels that everyone is in danger, Jacobs doesn’t pull them out, because their peril doesn’t have the power to move him anymore. When he’s listening to the children scream and die, he does nothing, because his fear for his own skin outweighs anything that could happen to anyone else. He shows no remorse. He lived, and that is all that matters to him.
Mrs. Carlyle’s fear is less obvious, but just as much a driving force. The only thing she is shown to care about is the pursuit of wealth, which is all about security—the idea that no matter what happens you’ll be able to fix it because you will have the money for it, that you’ll never be caught unprepared or left helpless because you have the means to take care of yourself. But like Jacobs, it’s clear that the more she nurtured this fear and tried to protect herself in this one way, the more she became blind to what she was already losing. She so desperately wants the false security of money for her family that she sells her daughter—sells her into an apprenticeship that is the very opposite of secure, that all but guarantees her death at a tragically young age. What is the use of money if her daughter dies? But when Lucy tells her she doesn’t want to be an agent because she’s afraid, her mother cannot have compassion. She has allowed her own fear to consume her so much that she sends her thirteen-year-old daughter to face death without blinking. Only her own fear is real and important. When Lucy is the only survivor of her team, Mrs. Carlyle doesn’t wake up. She cannot be grateful her daughter survived, because she killed the part of herself that would be capable of feeling that loss in her quest to never be afraid.
In both cases, their fear makes them set out to make themselves invulnerable. They cannot let themselves be affected by anything outside them, because that way lies loss and hurt and danger. There are two other groups that appear to us in this way, unable to be affected by anything outside them: ghosts, and the ghost-locked. The ghosts cannot hear Lucy when she tries to make contact with them; they’re trapped in a loop of their own fears and anger, unable to break out, unable to be invited out. This is why the only option is to hold them at bay with iron. All they can do is hurt you—all they can do is trap you in your own deadened state, lost to every external sensation. Norrie meets this fate. She is swallowed up by the ghost-like world of the dead adults that surround them, and she can never feel the touch of anyone else ever again.
Lucy walks away from this world, and straight into Portland Row.
Lockwood obviously has issues around vulnerability. But actually, he is not dead in this way. He does care for George and Lucy. We see that constantly on display, and it’s not a front. Lockwood’s weary gratitude when he’s just been interrogated by DEPRAC and asks George to make dinner, promises to love him forever—that’s real. Lockwood’s panic when Lucy is channeling Annabel—there’s no selfishness or self-protection in that, that’s him worried about her, concerned about her safety. He’s openly desperate when he thinks Lucy is leaving the company; he rushes in with no dignity at all when George is cornered by Barnes and Kipps’ team. Clearly, Lockwood is not afraid to let other people have an effect on him—from the moment Lucy walks in the door he’s letting her write her name on his heart. He literally welcomes George and Lucy into his home.
But the thing is, precisely because he cares about them, he is afraid of losing them—afraid of losing them because he has already suffered loss and knows exactly how devastating it is. But instead of reacting like the deadened adults, instead of refusing to let himself be affected by others, he tries to shield them from being affected by him. He gets close to them; he doesn’t let them get close to him. He doesn’t use them as tools so as to protect himself from feeling their eventual loss; he sees them in all their glory as full human persons and loves them as such. But he won’t appear as fully human to them, in an attempt to protect them from feeling his loss. He tries to be larger than life, he keeps his plans to himself until they’ve already worked, he’s literally always wearing a costume. He is vulnerable to them, lets them into his heart—but he hides his vulnerabilities from them, hides the things that would give them the context to understand him and love him back on equal footing. He lets them into his home, but he doesn’t let them into the room on the landing. He’s not dead, but he’s not whole.
Jacobs and Mrs. Carlyle try to protect themselves at the expense of everything else, even those they should love; Lockwood tries to protect those he loves, even at the expense of himself—even at the expense of his own life. He interposes himself between Lucy and George and danger. He cares about their fate so much that he makes it his own. He doesn’t want to be a person, a friend who can be cherished and lost. He wants to stand between the people he loves and death, running faster than them so he crosses the finish line before them, so they never have to. When Winkman tells him, “I’ll kill her last, so you don’t have to watch,” that is, in a way, what Lockwood’s goal is. He’s horrified and heartbroken by it, but that is what succeeding looks like, according to the way he arranges his life. This is why the DEPRAC agent’s death absolutely breaks Lockwood’s composure, undoes him so thoroughly. Lockwood’s job, his whole purpose is to jump on the grenade. He cannot let anyone else do it. He cannot let anyone take responsibility for him, he cannot let anyone value his life above their own, or the pressure of their sacrifice falls on him like a weight too heavy to carry. When the agent dies for him, Lockwood cannot be larger than life “Anthony Lockwood of Lockwood & Co” anymore, the image starts to choke him. He can’t pull himself back together until Lucy asks him to, until he remembers that she still needs him, that there is still someone for him to save.
He can accept his own death, but he cannot fathom someone else’s. Everybody knows that everybody dies—especially Lockwood. He’s accepted that incontrovertible fact that everyone else is running from. The only part that he’s still running from is the meaninglessness—his family’s deaths were senseless to him and so he’s running headlong toward death in action, because if he has to die, he’s going to do it for a purpose. “There’s ghosts and there’s us, and it’s kill or be killed,” he tells George, and he means it. Those are the terms Lockwood has set for his life and death.
And so, Lockwood appears as a walking memento mori, a reminder of death—not to himself, he needs no reminder, but to everyone else who would rather avoid that reality. Barnes, Flo, Kipps—these are the people who call out his recklessness. They do care about him, to different extents, but they have all also deadened themselves somewhat. Barnes has seen too many agents die, and there’s only so much he can do to protect the ones under his supervision. Flo ran from the ties of society and set up on her own where she wouldn’t have anyone else to lose. Kipps wants to believe that Lockwood & Co are ridiculous amateurs, that the prestige and orderliness of his world at Fittes make him superior to all the agents who lose their lives in the line of duty. They aredeader than Lockwood, because they have not faced the truth of the world the way he has, have not let themselves feel it. He’s a spectre of everything they’re trying to avoid—but because his invulnerability goes the opposite direction, he doesn’t appear dead himself the way Jacobs and Mrs Carlyle obviously do. He’s outwardly fearless of everything that terrifies them, and so he appears alive, even as they’re wondering how he hasn’t died yet.
And here’s the kicker: it’s not completely off base that he seems alive. What makes people dead is fear—and Lockwood has the capacity to be courageous. Chesterton has a salient quote in Orthodoxy: “Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of a readiness to die….He must not merely cling to life, for then he will be a coward, and will not escape. He must not merely wait for death, for then he will be a suicide, and will not escape. He must seek his life in a spirit of furious indifference to it; he must desire life like water and yet drink death like wine.” The show isn’t an arc of Lockwood learning not to risk himself, learning to fear for his life and become a coward—it’s an arc of learning true courage, which requires that he value his life enough to only risk himself for things that are really worth it.
This is what only Lucy can see and understand, and this is what she means when she asks Lockwood to be the right amount of reckless—she understands that they have to take risks, that they can’t let themselves become deader than dead in their endless pursuit of self-preservation. But she doesn’t see Anthony Lockwood the walking reminder of death, or Lockwood of Lockwood & Co, the competent and fearless leader. Despite everything Lockwood does to hide from her, she sees him as a person, and a person worth protecting. Facing the Hope House ghost without any iron chains wasn’t worth it—if they lost the job they could have gotten another one. Infiltrating the Winkmans’ shop and then the auction wasn’t worth it—it wasn’t their job alone to retrieve the bone glass, the bet with Kipps was stupid. But if Lockwood had died in that last battle in the cemetery, holding back Winkman and his thugs so Lucy could save George from the bone glass, it would have been a noble sacrifice. He and Lucy agree: if there’s anything worth dying for, it’s George. With her to hold him back, Lockwood has learned not to chase after death in the line of duty—but rather, to chase after loving sacrifice.
By the logic of fairytales (and Christianity), because this time he is really laying down his life for a beloved friend and not throwing it away for an excuse, he doesn’t lose his life, doesn’t become more deadened. He really gains his life. He falls into the grave, and the friends he fell for are there to catch him and bring him back up to the surface. He gets to see the sunshine again, as if for the first time.
Before, his sacrifice couldn’t really be sacrifice, because the two ways that he tried to protect Lucy and George were incompatible. Because he tried to hide himself from them, it was impossible for his placing himself in danger for them to be understood as an act of love. It couldn’t be a gift of self, because he was doing everything possible to ensure that there was no one who knew him well enough to receive it—he was trying to make a gift of that which he had intentionally hollowed out.
But once he chooses real sacrifice, the logic of self-gift is not the logic of death, and so it can guide the whole of his life, not just the dramatic last stand. Lockwood finds himself capable of making a gift of himself: he can let himself be seen. He can place his heart in their hands. He can finally let them into the room on the landing.
Spoilers for books 3 through 5 follow below the cut.
Obviously Lockwood doesn’t get as powerful a callout from Lucy in the first couple books as he does in the show, but I think we do see a more drawn-out version of the same arc play out over the whole series. Lockwood’s recklessness becomes less and less a general disregard for his life; that is why Lucy leaves at the end of book three, because the times he’s come closest to dying were about saving her. At the beginning of the book he nearly breaks his head at the top of the steps diving to save her, and at the end of the book he is nearly torn apart by the poltergeist because he is trying to make sure she gets out. Lucy leaves to save Lockwood, to keep him from making those sacrifice plays—but (this is important) he’s worse without her. Even on page, when he fights the giant’s ghost unarmed, when he infiltrates Winkman’s to get the skull, when he stays behind in Rotwell’s to find out the truth, it’s all with the understanding that Lucy is essentially lost to him. This is a Lockwood who doesn’t have her to die for. What it proves is this: she can’t convince him to value his life by removing herself from the equation. When he doesn’t have someone to care about, a reason to give his life, he falls back on throwing it away. All she can do, she realizes, is be near him, cherish him the way he wants to cherish her: show him that he is as worthy of being sacrificed for as she is. She follows him in Rotwell’s, walks through the iron circle into the other side with him. She goes after Marissa in the final battle, so he doesn’t have to. She stays with him when he tells her to leave.
He's not dead. He’s very alive, precisely because he has not let death isolate and paralyze him, because he has something he loves enough to die for it. But the flip side of that is: in the eucatastrophic moment where Lucy and Lockwood are thrown clear of the explosion, spared the death they have learned not to fear by the one person who feared death more than any of them, Lockwood finds himself in possession of his life. Not from grasping after it with fearful hands, and not from trading it for the life of someone he couldn’t bear to lose. Just given it. And because he has something he loves enough to die for it, when he doesn’t die, he can live for it, too.

After a wonderful community Christmas dinner at Grace Baptist Church, I made my way home with my take home plates. I relaxed, ate some of the food then changed my coat and made my way on the metro north down to Manhattan. When we arrived at Grand Central, I noticed that there were barricades blocking all of the main entrances and exits.There were cops telling passengers that they could not leave out of main egresses and that we had to go exit through the subways. I was confused, but that’s where I was already going, so continued my way to the #6 train. My destination was one train stop away at 33rd St. going to Kips Bay. As I was walking using my Google Maps navigation to help me, I heard the sounds of chanting and protesting. I walked to the corner I saw a large Ceasefire/Pro Palestinian March was coming down the street. I stood on the corner as they started to pass, and I knew I had to join them! We walked and chanted, “Free, free Palestine!“ Chanting and walking with the crowd for a block or two, we turn the corner, and I realize that the March was going in the opposite direction of the movie theater so I slipped out of the march and walked back towards Kipps Bay on the east side. I chose the Kips Bay movie theater because, which I’ve gone to numerous times over the decades, because I find it to be comfortable and often not too crowded. I actually, thought that because of the neighborhood that there probably wouldn’t be too many African-Americans but as I sat in my seat looking at previews, I learned that I was wrong, and that many of my African descended siblings must’ve had the same idea that I had about coming to Kips Bay. I chuckled at myself. The short story was the color purple the musical on film was the perfect gift that I could give myself. Yes, at times it’s was little saccharine and extra sappy, where every horrible situation turns out perfectly, but between the drama, the story captured me they’re in the dark. One of the most memorable scenes of the film was the reimagining and emphasizing the sexual/romantic connection between Celie and Shug Avery.

September 1st - October 10th
Tumblr media
We stopped by our friends, Marg and Kens place on September 3rd,to say hello and drop off some excess smoked salmon. Their spectacular view delivered a nice rainbow over the first US Coast Guard station on Ediz spit.
Tumblr media
We attended Gae's summer church picnic on the 4th, where shade and cool temps had her bundling up.
Tumblr media
We took a walk to the docks at the Lake Crescent Lodge where the frigid and clear water looks way better than I'm sure it would feel.
Tumblr media
The kids waited patiently and quickly assumed the closest spot to Mom on our return home.
Tumblr media
Our friend Terry came over to teach Gae how to use Google Sheets to track our expenses... surrounded by dogs, of course:-)
Tumblr media
And when I say surrounded, I mean used like furniture!
Tumblr media
The sun popped out on the 7th, so Gae tried out one of the new (used) chairs with the built in shade cover... nice!
Tumblr media
We got out to the Spruce Railroad trail that followed the northern coast of Lake Crescent on the 10th... super nice, new, paved trail:-)
Tumblr media
I tried out the kayak I purchased to replace the too-heavy canoe on the 14th... much better and easier to transport. This is the view from the Ediz hook side of Port Angeles bay, looking back at PA and Hurricane Ridge further south.
Tumblr media
Gae and I took the dogs for a walk on the Discovery Trail west of Crescent Lake, where Scrappy and Raina ran a good 3 miles for the 2 that we walked.
Tumblr media
I was thrilled to find some Sparassis (Cauliflower Mushroom) along the trail... yummy!
Tumblr media
My niece, Allie, stopped by on the 18th and 19th for visits on her way to meet her Sister and friends for an Alaska cruise. We enjoyed her immensely and were so happy we got to see her!
Tumblr media
We drove to Seattle for a Dr's appointment and to send Gae off on a trip to Denver after a week's stay. Raina settled in pretty well.
Tumblr media
I took our son-in-law Ben (and Rob) up to my favorite mushroom patch off Stampede Pass, where we were slightly early to find the usual mother-load of chanterelles.
Tumblr media
Rob enjoyed the trip as well.
Tumblr media
We checked out the mushroom booth at the West Seattle Sunday Market, which always amazes me with the variety of cultivated mushrooms.
Tumblr media
Andy and I followed through with our plans to golf on the 25th, in the rain even!
Tumblr media
Gae had a straightforward trip to Denver, where she lucked out in her timing to see her brother Zane, visiting from Minnesota!
Tumblr media
She got to see Kipp the first night as well, and for the first time maybe ever, Gae played the straight photo role:-)
Tumblr media
Gae spent a week at her best friend's home, soaking up all the Jil love she could.
Tumblr media
Gae got a few pictures of our nephew, Noel, who is enjoying a road trip through Utah... lucky dog!
Tumblr media
I joined my college buddies, Mike, Andy and Dave for Octoberfest in Leavenworth on October 6th... PARTAY!
Tumblr media
Ben sends some great pictures of he and Rob on occasion, which we love seeing:-)
