    Joy is the happiness of love–love aware of its own inner happiness. Pleasure comes from without, and joy comes from within, and it is, therefore, within reach of everyone in the world.

    God does not love us because we are valuable. We are valuable because God loves us.

  • On Elizabeth Bishop by Colm Tóibín

    On Elizabeth BishopOn Elizabeth Bishop by Colm Tóibín
    My rating: 4 of 5 stars

    Interesting read. Lots of stuff on Bishop. Lots of reflection on her work in context or conversation with other poets’ work. A lot of Colm. A lot of judgment and not much appreciation. I do not know who this book is written for, but it is a good book about books–a reflection on the value of poetry, which I immensely enjoyed.

    Theological insights are gained not only from between two covers of a book, but from two bent knees before an altar. The Holy Hour becomes like an oxygen tank to revive the breath of the Holy Spirit in the midst of the foul and fetid atmosphere of the world.

  • Oh my GOD! That is a LOT of Gum

    Keys From The Golden Vault live from Alakazam Comics in Irvine, CA, continues this week with the Stygian Gambit–a casino heist. This week our second-level heroes – Top Hat (Rogue), Snow in the Mountain (Fighter), Swallow the River (Rogue), Kite in the Sky (Rogue), Missing Fingers (Rogue), and Julie Newmar (Ranger) –start to rob the Afterlife Casino by killing people and creating complete chaos.

    Top Card (rogue played by Glenn) is Cat Women without the slapstick
    Julie Newmar (ranger played by Lance) is Ra’s al Ghul
    Snow on the Mountain (fighter played by Lewis) is mentored by Two-Face,
    Feather on the River (cleric played by Brain) is Killer Croc. It may have been renamed Swallow on the River.
    Kite in the Sky
    Missing Fingers
    Swallow the River

    Just started murdering people in the casino. Spine devils emerged from the mural and attacked.

    I am starting to near the end of my Blizzard journal–maybe three more weeks!
