Well, what can I say??!!

Open your eyes wide open, let your jaw drop down,

And just ogle……….

Eerie and awesome ambience, created by the play of light, shadow, perspective and color.

Theology and Contemporary Critical Theory

http://gen.lib.rus.ec/book/index.php?md5=C69B7775C4DDFBF2266272E0B5083F29

“Theory For Religious Studies” is a must read. But this one is more focused & deep.

I didn’t get a lot of what is being said, but it nonetheless stimulated & stretched me. Well worth reading fully!

Some writers need to be paraphrased & explained twice or thrice before they can be understood by the common man……!

E.g. Foucault >> Ward >> Joseph >> others

Today, the boundaries between theology, religious studies & philosophy have completely broken down, & that’s a very good thing. What an exciting time to be alive!

Beautifying by beholding!

Why is a painting more beautiful than a photograph?

Which is more realistic and which is more romantic? Or is that a stupid question?

Take a break, have a picnic/retreat!

Sleep, Sabbath, vacation

Gaze, reflect, wonder

Soak in the atmosphere and carry it back within you

I am…… the pointing finger!

“When the wise man points at the moon, the fool looks at the finger.”

My job is to point (myself & others) to the great wisdom available, through the diverse sources all around & within us.

I’m preparing for a seminar on death!

Don’t miss watching the extras in the Six Feet Under torrent download!

Hmmm…. who’s your favorite character? Mine is Nate. Father Fisher is a close contender.

It’s as much about family as it’s about anything else.

All the hot-button issues of life, like homosexuality, family dysfunction, grief, mid-life crisis, adultery, mental illness, religion, morality, etc. are handled better when seen in the severe and unsparing light of death, which brings a cruel simplicity to our common perplexities……

Review

My ratings are +/- 0.5

Anger as virtue.

“Ideals are peaceful. History is violent.”

“Best job I ever had!” (a la “Hurt Locker”)

“Do what you’re here for!”

Another model movie on leadership/mentoring? Like “Captain & Commander”, “Saving Private Ryan”, “The Last Station”, etc.

How did the director of this movie also make shit like “Suicide Squad”?!

I was more like Norman, then like Swan, but now I have become more like Collier…… So, what’s next??

If I like a movie, I should read a review that trashes it, and vice versa!
