scatterbrained
June 18, 2009
The great people of the earth today are the people who pray. I do not mean those who talk about prayer, nor those who say they believe in prayer; nor yet those who can explain about prayer; but I mean those people who take time and pray. They have not time. It must be taken from something else. This something else is important. Very important, and pressing, but still less important and less pressing than prayer.

triviality and more nuggets of internet gold
June 16, 2009-June 24th is a big day.
-I’m all over the place these days, in more ways than one.
-I think quality food and quality film are good things to spend money on
-On the other hand, you can get some good music for free. then you can buy more film.
-Speaking of which, if you are what you eat, then I am (lately) made up of dates, peaches, lemon marmalade, greek yogurt (yoghurt?) with granola, various kinds of tea, yogurt/chocolate pretzels, homemade baguettes, dark chocolate, pesto, random cheeses I find at pcc, gnocchi, quinoa, zucchini, and half and half (+ espresso). Oh, and also, frickin’ cream-braised brussels sprouts, FOR SURE.
-I talk about myself too much. Even admitting that seems counterintuitive to making any progress in the matter.
Some other goodness:
“The one created thing which we cannot look at is the one thing in the light of which we look at everything… We are conscious of it as of a kind of splendid confusion; it is something both shining and shapeless, at once a blaze and a blur.”
-mr. chesterton
and that created thing is somewhat like its Creator in nature, no?
Also, I started a new journal recently. Thus, many blank pages. And THUS, along with the theme of mystery and splendid confusion:
“I want to be able to read the rest of this journal – and the rest of my life. To flip ahead and see what path will be mine, and how these questions and hopes and ideas and mysteries in my mind will resolve. But those pages are blank. They won’t be forever, but they are right now. Teach me to treasure that mystery while I still have it.“
