Psalm 118 Hymn
Give thanks to Yahweh, he is good,

with victory o'er the en'my.
To trust and shelter in our God
is better than all others.
Behold, the threat'ning sounds around
are in His great name smothered.
Forced down to fall, yet Yahweh's strong

This story is beautifully fantastic. The depths of quiet sentences strewn across its length form such a powerful image, a strong and real world. I am amazed.

"Stupendous. Just great, and also read in January of 1990. Also read in May of 2009. Also read in June of 1985. Also read in July of 1980. Finished it again on an Audible version in August of 2015. And yet again in Audible in September of 2016. And on"

| Masterfully thrilling. An absurd, hilarious page-turner. And yet, like one coming in from a windy day, the quietitude seems to deny that the chaos ever happened. | |

| Rich and concise, but not too short. Instructive and inspiring, stripping me of a few remaining excuses. | |

“I have hardly had time to think over all that you have told me. It’s a big thing for a man to have to understand and to decide at one sitting. I should like to have a quiet hour by myself to make up my mind.”

“We’re genetically predisposed toward certain behaviors that we’ve collectively decided are unhelpful; adultery and racism are possible examples. With reasonable success, we mitigate those impulses through civil codes, religious rituals, maternal warnings—the whole bag of tricks we call culture.”

“Pushing a refrigerated green vegetable from one end of the earth to another is, let’s face it, a bizarre use of fuel. But there’s a simpler reason to pass up off-season asparagus: it’s inferior.”

“But a spontaneous traveler inevitably will end up with the tummy gauge suddenly on empty, in some place where cuisine is not really the point: a museum cafeteria, or late-night snack bar across from the concert hall. Eating establishments where cuisine isn’t the point—is that a strange notion?”

“If I keep pushing myself, I’ll finally be somebody. I’ll finally matter. I’ll finally arrive.” Nonsense. You won’t be satisfied. The only thing worse than failing to realize any of your dreams, is seeing them all come true. You were meant for something more. Even if you could be known the world over, what does it matter if you have no time to be known by God?”
