Floran’s sprouted wheat bread, at BEYOND BREAD (formerly Transylvania Peasant Bread) in Vancouver.
BON IVER’s recently released bon iver is, i think, excellent.
VOLCANO CHOIR is justin vernon’s (that is, bon iver) sideproject. just had a second listen (my first listen, according to this blog was… september 2009). i like the experimental nature of the album - unmap - but overall it can’t help but sound fragmentary..
Life would go out in a ‘fraction of a second’ (that was the phrase), but all night he had been realizing that time depends on clocks and the passage of light. There were no clocks and the light wouldn’t change. Nobody really knew how long a second of pain could be. It might last a whole purgatory—or for ever.Graham Greene, The Power and the Glory

When it is stripped of its mystical sense, even the Eucharist—the mysterion—is no longer about faith, hope, and charity, but refers to identity, one that forges insiders, with corporate shared values, and outsiders who do not share them. The restoration of the sacramental mystery to any substantialist vision can be a vital corrective to idolatry. This is not only a question of reviving dead matter, or of resisting an impulse to instrumentalize objects of the world; it is also a question of the restoration of an ethics that exceeds the politics of identity, for it seems that modern universalist rationalism cannot defeat substantial logic alone.Regina Mara Schwartz, Sacramental Poetics (via thegroundofmybeseeching)
It was for this world that Christ had died; the more evil you saw and heard about you, the greater glory lay around the death. It was too easy to die for what was good or beautiful, for home or children or a civilization—it needed a God to die for the half-hearted and the corrupt.Graham Greene, The Power and the Glory
