hello I really like alan paton--Cry the Beloved Country--of course--but have you ever read his novel--Too Late the Phalarope? For some reason that book made a deep and lasting impression on me. but few people I mention it to have heard of it. (ha--forgive grammar and syntax on this comment)
yes--I remember picking it up AFTER I had read it, just to refresh my memory of a section of it and I ended up going back to the beginning and reading it all in one sitting for the second time!
I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."
