Psalm 118 Hymn
Give thanks to Yahweh, he is good,
His love endures forever!
Say, Israel, Aaron, all who fear,
"His love endures forever!"
In all distress, no faithless fear
for Yah has helped and answered clear
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

| Penetrating, visceral, beautifully sad and hopeful distopian mess. All too familiar in telling the times. | |

Joe
is 28% done with Fahrenheit 451: The book keeps hitting these moments of fever dream or stream-of-consciousness writing sections, and I don't know what's going on.

| Light and inconsequential fun. It ends suddenly, and that seems to fit well as the whole book is a series of vignettes, memoirs on themes - cars, food, dogs, and a thin golden thread of growth in comedy, maybe. | |

| An easy telling, so you know the story. Feels like good preparation for reading a poetic translation. And helpful before watching Nolan's The Odyssey. ...more | |

“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.”

“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?”
