a bit of tidying up on a Monday morning:
- A lovely quote "Things are not what they appear to be: nor are they otherwise." [from the Surangama Sutra] which was at the bottom of an email from Jendi Reiter about the origins of a translation of a Rilke poem from an earlier post [I was little help to her tho....]
- That the hebrew word 'nacham' usually translated 'repent' or 'change one's mind/direction' in the Hebrew Scriptures originally meant to draw one's breath, to sigh, or groan. How perfect is that.
- We're taking Finn to dog school / obedience classes - where there are 2 german shepherds who never stop barking and the environment is total madness. The first week was the absolute depths of hell. Last week was utter hell. This week I'm hoping for sheer hell or perhaps just hell. We're getting there.
- That Christian Aid UK has an interesting virtual Journey to Jerusalem for Lent this year.
- Jesus FlickFest 4 is starting to gear up and we're trying to track down some elusive titles:
Jules Dassin's Celui qui doit mourir
Talebzadeh's Jesus the Spirit of God
either of the BBC's Manchester Passion or Liverpool Nativity
