RESPITE

"Sooner or later we all need to shut down or run away for a little while."

Ariella Budick - TLS 2.11.16


INTROIT - 2nd Sunday:

Tibi dixit cor meum, quaesivi vultum tuum, vultum tuum Domine requiram: ne avertas faciem tuam a me.

My heart declared to you: "Your countenance have I sought; I shall ever seek your countenance, O Lord; do not turn your face from me." The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?

POLITICAL RANT

I am appalled at the degree of right wing specious cant that we have to endure these days in public discourse. 

Sadly much of it leading to the actions we've seen today in NZ and similar incidents in this country - a true crisis unlike the made up Southern boarder crisis. 

Homophonic, misogynist bigoted discourse coming from the mouths of those like Graham. Jordan, Gaetz, Meadows etc and Tucker C and all of Fox News.

All led and enabled by a phoney, illegitimate POTUS.

LES LIVRES ET LA LECTURE

             Encore une fois plus sur les livres et la lecture Currently re-reading much of Isherwood - Mr Norris Changes Trains; Goodbye to Berlin; The Memorial; Lions and Shadows. These early works are interesting. Just finishing Goodbye to Berlin. It offers some interesting psychological insights in its portrayal of Sally and Otto and his English friend (Lover? - This ambiguous).
