Might...Thanks much for the kind words, Derek (NYC). Might I ask how you found your way to EA? And I'm certainly with you when it comes to Victoria Williams. "Lights of the City" came up o the Ipod today and turned everything around. Peace to you.<BR/>And Porkpie....Ummm....Yes, sort of...I think of the apocalyptic as pressing (or projecting toward) a justice-to-come (not necessarily one the bearer of apocalyptic expression is SURE will come). Apocalyptic will often be marked by a difficult truthfulness that somehow banks (even doubtfully) on that hoped-for future of everything in its right place. I would guess that Alan Moore, for instance, is agnostic, but his story presses in this direction, longs for it, conjures it. Hope this makes sense.<BR/><BR/>hope everyone has a rich weekend,<BR/>jddjdaviddarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01439845582468769518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32469612.post-89387201431863549982008-09-19T11:33:00.000-07:002008-09-19T11:33:00.000-07:00apocalypse: the disclosure of what what we already...apocalypse: the disclosure of what what we already know to be true yet cannot for whatever reason accept?...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04092415775727363766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32469612.post-81670150719611501492008-09-18T15:52:00.000-07:002008-09-18T15:52:00.000-07:00David,I found my way here to thank you for 'Everyd...David,<BR/>I found my way here to thank you for 'Everyday Apocalypse', which I read about a month ago and came as a big WAKE UP! for me encouraging connections and associations with everything from Wright's 'Jesus and the Victory of God' through the British sitcom 'Spaced'...and the first book I picked up after finishing yours was 'Watchmen', which could not have been a better introduction to apocalyptic thought and your most pressing and challenging points...so thank you...I'm looking forward to the other books, talks, whatever else I can find out there...and I get all hopeful about the world and the kingdom every time I see Victoria Williams' name in print...<BR/>God bless,<BR/>Derek (NYC)Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601948148417799669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32469612.post-27750043786394752842008-09-15T10:38:00.000-07:002008-09-15T10:38:00.000-07:00I hope you sense (and will remember to convey unto...I hope you sense (and will remember to convey unto him) the affection implied when I observe that this doesn't surprise me at all.jdaviddarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01439845582468769518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32469612.post-75390322342781508282008-09-15T10:27:00.000-07:002008-09-15T10:27:00.000-07:00I think David still has his original copies in a b...I think David still has his original copies in a box in the closet.Variations On A Themehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05999890261136824148noreply@blogger.com
