ah, I wish you had not told me that, V.
I want more of a question of identity, or perhaps something more than a question of identity. i'm reading this an extremely exact replica of the stories from the bible--everything is an allusion practically. For what purpose? So the Jesus story gets a modern facelift; is it to show how He would operate in our times?
Perhaps it is just me, but it feels dangerously close to the original, and I'm not sure what I am supposed to take from it. It does not give me any twists that I noticed, nothing to subvert it, so I can read and like what I read, but move on relatively untouched once I'm finished.
Wait ... the predicate of this confession doesn't seem to
'agree' with the first part. It doesn't give you twists,
nothing to subvert it, and you want something that would
leave you 'touched,' not untouched.
Now, you are moving on untouched. Being 'touched' is good.
Being touched is a warm holon more than the 'sun' of its
parts.
I'll wait for your reply before moving on, down.
the road less traveled and unserved by AAA.
One more thing ...
I wanted it to be a parable, but it came through as
more parabolic, Do you not think the Book of Matthew
is all about identity? about shifting and fussing and
hiding and coming out and thrusting and withdrawing--
somewhat similiar to the methods of the Roman General
Quintas Fabius Maximus who drove Hannibal nuts.
"Who is this guy?"
... we still don't know.
Right now he's washing his dad's Cadillac
and later plans to finish the sun deck for
his mother.
