@ayjay Egad! I’m thrilled.
@dswanson That is so true. We need signs of life in days like these. Thanks for sharing your joyful discoveries.
@dswanson So beautiful!
@ayjay I would love to see how you would craft something like this.
@ayjay Wait. What does this mean?
@drwalt I must admit I do like writing all over the books I read. And I also pull quotations and write them in my journal. I wrote a down few pages of quotations from The Scent of Time.
@drwalt One article I read described his writing as aphoristic, which rings true with what I’ve read so far. The comparison with Emerson is an interesting suggestion.
@JohnBrady I’ve already experienced that overlap you mentioned just in reading The Scent of Time and The Burnout Society, which have some similar chapters. Still, I am fascinated with his writing because I find him addressing themes of great interest to me about action, contemplation, time and more.
@bbowman Marva Dawn is a wonderful gift. I remember hearing her speak at a gathering back when I was in seminary, not really knowing who she was, and immediately wanting to hear and read more from her.
@KyleEssary Beautiful!
@ayjay Amen.
@marmanold I can totally relate to that.
@marmanold That is a wonderful evocative book. I loved it and referenced his encounter with an onion in The Pastor as Gardener.
@bbowman I can definitely understand that! Thanks!
@scottjeffries Amen. Thank you!
@frjonjordan And now I can’t wait to read your book!
@frjonjordan Thank you so much! I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
@joshuapsteele I am so sorry to read this sad news. I know it may be the thing to say, but I sincerely mean I will pray for you all.
@tinyroofnail That is such an amazing poem. Geroge Herbert is one of my favorites of all time.
@lukemperez Great to hear your enthusiasm for it. I look forward to seeing it sometime soon.
@drwalt Thank you for sharing these glimpses into the future. It’s really helpful.
@dwalbert That is such a great way to describe a subtle difference in some musicals. Thanks for parsing that out. It puts words to what I may sense when viewing.
@ReaderJohn I was an English major as an undergrad and took a class called “Victorian Literature” and we didn’t read Middlemarch in the class. So, when COVID happened and I came down with it around Christmastime, I decided to read it while quarantined. It helped me have focused time to read it.
@lukemperez Oh, man, I love the spaghetti westerns like Fist Full of Dollars, but I just couldn’t put it on my list.
@gregmoore I love these selections but have never seen Ed Wood. Adding it to the list!
