G.K. Chesterton: “Exactly what does breed insanity is reason. Poets do not go mad; but chess-players do. Mathematicians go mad, and cashiers; but creative artists very seldom. I am not, as will be seen, in any sense attacking logic: I only say that this danger does lie in logic, not in imagination.” (Orthodoxy)
"Oh in other news I’m reading again. Reading makes my time worthwhile. I read one book yesterday and a ½ a book today. Yesterday it was The Code of the Streets…I struggled to get through it. It was very interesting but way too repetitive. Lots of stories that were rehashed to the point I disliked the book. Today I ventured into Blue Like Jazz which is quickly changing and affirming my life. This man may be speaking from my soul. More than one light bulb came on this afternoon/evening in both my heart and head. It was a day of understanding. I decided that the day was too perfect to waste so I ventured outside with a blanket, and MP3 player, and the book. The book was like biting into a ripe peach after you haven’t had one for forever. So good and so refreshing. I wanted more. I devoured the pages…I read passages and then sat and let them soak in. I even flipped over and examined the trees and skies while allowing new thoughts to roll around in the expanse that was my mind. I felt Jesus tugging on my heart…I saw God in creation. And the music played perfectly to the moment. Jon Foreman quietly sang into my ear “Lord save me from myself….” It was a beautiful afternoon
There is so much more but it isn't time for it all.
