“The Word hosts our breath, our span, the space of our dreaming and our thinking, our stillness and our moving. And the emerging present is one of its bodies.”
One thing I love about this collection is that it reminds me of my academic past. I was a double major: English Literature (with a focus on American Lit) & Religious Studies (with a focus on nothing/everything). One of my favorite ideas (from Hinduism) was: “The world is God‘s body.” 💕🌍
paulfrankspencer Lit with a religious studies minor. Nice. 5y
monalyisha @paulfrankspencer Twins! 👯 (I was a philosophy minor.) 5y
paulfrankspencer I got another degree in marketing and a certificate in professional writing to boot. Philosophy would have been my jam. Much more productive use of my time than marketing, anyway... 5y

monalyisha @paulfrankspencer Ha! That is absolutely not what I would have expected (for philosophy to be more productive than marketing). I‘m going to remember that. 👌🏻 5y
paulfrankspencer That degree got me my job, but I still haven't decided if I should be thankful for that... #shamelessselfpromotion but if you can get down with a little science thrown in, you would probably enjoy my book Marvelous Light. It's cool to see eastern philosophy find its place with modern science and western religion.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
