Dumpster diving, also known as urban foraging, is the practice of scavenging through discarded materials in search of useful or valuable items. In his essay "On Dumpster Diving," Lars Eighner offers a detailed and personal account of his experiences as a dumpster diver. Through his writing, Eighner aims to challenge the societal stigma surrounding the act of dumpster diving and to provide a glimpse into the lives of those who are forced to scavenge for their basic necessities.
Eighner begins his essay by explaining that he began dumpster diving out of necessity, as he was homeless and unable to afford basic necessities such as food and clothing. He notes that while dumpster diving may seem distasteful or degrading to some, it is a means of survival for many individuals who have no other options.
As Eighner delves deeper into his experiences as a dumpster diver, he offers insight into the practical aspects of the practice, such as the best times and locations to search for discarded items and the importance of following certain rules and regulations. He also touches on the psychological effects of dumpster diving, noting that it can be both demoralizing and empowering.
Throughout the essay, Eighner takes care to emphasize the fact that dumpster diving is not a choice for many individuals, but rather a necessity. He writes, "I dumpster dive because I am poor. I do it as a means of survival." This sentiment is further reinforced by Eighner's descriptions of the often surprising and valuable items he has found in dumpsters, including books, clothes, and even furniture.
One of the most poignant moments in Eighner's essay comes when he reflects on the societal stigma surrounding dumpster diving and the prejudices that those who engage in the practice often face. Eighner writes, "I am not a bum. I am a person who happens to be poor and homeless. I am a person just like you, only with fewer options and less resources." Through this statement, Eighner aims to humanize those who are forced to scavenge for their basic necessities and to challenge the notion that they are lesser or undeserving.
In conclusion, "On Dumpster Diving" is a thought-provoking and poignant essay that offers a unique perspective on the lives of those who are forced to scavenge for their basic necessities. Through his writing, Lars Eighner aims to challenge the societal stigma surrounding dumpster diving and to provide a glimpse into the realities faced by many individuals who are struggling to survive.

Saint Markella
See Prix de Rome. She was the first woman of high rank in Rome to embrace monastic life, behaving like a pauper in plain sight and giving away her wealth. She astonished the holy doctor by her knowledge of the Divine Scriptures, she fatigued him by her thirst always to know more of them than he could teach her; she made him afraid to find in her a judge rather than a disciple. Afterwards, when Saint Jerome came to Rome to renew the instructions and narratives of those holy men by adding to them the living commentary of his own life, Marcella, with her mother Albinia, and her sister Asella, placed herself at the head of that select number of illustrious matrons who took him as their guide and oracle.

St Marcella of Rome
Markella's late mother had been a Christian, her father was an idolater and he tried very hard to force his daughter to become an idolater, too; this seems anachronistic, since by the 14th Century paganism was long since extinct in Greece. Marcella's mother was Albina , who seems to have avidly supported the decisions which molded her daughter's life. Glory to Him who gave you strength, glory to Him who crowned you.

Of particular interest to Marcella was the contemporary dispute over the orthodoxy of Origenism, or that approach to the Bible which encouraged the use of certain pagan philosophical principles to interpret the text. St Marcella of Rome 325-410 Although Marcella is a saint to the Eastern and Roman Catholic Churches she is not well known and is rarely given the title saint. As an independent, aristocratic, educated, wealthy woman Marcella could mix in the highest circles. When the Goths under Alaric plundered Rome in 410, our Saint suffered severely at the hands of the barbarian, who cruelly scourged her in order to make her reveal the treasures which she had long before distributed in charity. Through these letters, we learn of a woman of the Church who modeled virtue and walked the path of Christ to the end.
