![]() These were somehow both comforting and heart wrenching to read. Sometimes I just want to sleep and go away somewhere far and start over but that still wouldn’t solve the aching hole I have in my heart and life. I feel like the world just keeps passing by and I can’t catch the train to continue on this journey. I’ve lost grandparents/friends and other family members but there is just something about losing your mom and dad almost together. My heart now understands what “grief” really is. I am also angry that they passed from Covid as others I have read about. Just celebrated Mother’s Day (1st without my mom) tough. It seems like it never goes away or gets easier. ![]() I actually lost my sister (not physically), but as a family member per her request. ![]() It is May and I am still having a hard time. Mom passed on Saturday, August 21, dad passed the following Sunday, August 29, 2022. I lost both parents last August 2022 8 days apart due to Covid. ![]()

It should, seeing as I owe a large sum of money back for furthering my education of it. Maybe it is an obsession, but literature fills a special place in my heart. One day I hope to have my own personal library in my mind it looks much like the one from Beauty and the Beast a la Disney, but less cartoonish. Plus, I greatly enjoy scavenging through used book stores for old hardcovers and often traverse several stores before reading a novel I know I'll love just to be sure I have the edition that best suits me. I can understand their versatility and convenience, but there is a strange power felt while just holding a nice edition of a novel in your hands, especially after time has passed and you pick it back up just to feel its weight in your palms. ![]() Perhaps this is why I never got into the electronic readers.

Supernova is intelligent, unique, and a truly exciting exploration into the world of science, spirituality and the nature of love." The literary critic Jakob Soemardjo also said, "This is an attractive novel by a young writer. The poet Taufiq Ismail wrote, "A renewal has taken place in Indonesia's literary scene over the past decade. The characters are urban and tech-savvy youngsters who are caught in different forms of contemporary social conflict. Supernova presents a series of intertwined and unconventional love stories with a bit of science and spirituality added to the mix. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you think that the hallmark of New Atheism is its vociferous, in-your-face anti-theism, think again, for people like Russell, Ingersoll, and Mencken were going hammer and tongs at religion since the 19th century. And it’s the first mention of the fabled Teapot.Ī lot of the stuff in this essay was taken from Russell’s famous and earlier piece, “ Why I am Not a Christian“, first published as a pamphlet in 1927. While futzing around on the Internet, I came across Russell’s essay “ Is there a God?“, which is described as “commissioned by, but never published in, Illustrated Magazine, in 1952.” It’s apparently been published in his collected papers, though, and I give that reference at the bottom. ![]() But perhaps you don’t know where that simile came from. ![]() Most of you have heard of Russell’s Teapot, the hypothetical but undetectable orbiting object that Bertrand Russell used to show why we shouldn’t believe things for which there is no evidence (i.e., “religion”). ![]() ![]() Out of it came our Black businesses, our Black educational institutions.”īack to Gates, who says, “It’s been a sanctuary where Black people could interpret The Bible in their own images and praise God in their own voices, creating some of the most sublime music the world has ever heard.

Gates has embedded the narrative of this work by characterizing The church as the oldest, the most continuous and most important institution ever created by the African American people. ![]() ![]() ![]() To translate is to distance oneself from God's truth, which, as everyone knows or believes, is single.' I've been left wondering what 'God's truth' would be if I read Frère d'âme. To translate is to risk understanding better than others that the truth about a word is not single, but double, even triple, quadruple. To translate is one of the only human activities in which one is required to lie about the details to convey the truth at large. To translate is to betray at the borders, it's to cheat, it's to trade one sentence for another. And then at the end, a book translated from its original language states 'To translate is never simple. The book is translated, and throughout the book translation occurs for Alfa to be able to understand. I think what particularly intrigues me about At Night All Blood Is Black though is the notion of translation. I didn't particularly enjoy the gruesome descriptions of war and violence, but I did enjoy the history hidden within - is this a good thing or not? I don't know! ![]() I'm not sure whether I'm giving At Night All Blood Is Black 4 stars because I enjoyed reading it, or because I find the subject matter and themes at play super interesting. ![]() |
