some quotes i like (practitioners ch1)

reading "practitioners" at the moment. heres some quotes i like from it (just the first chapter actually - thats all ive got thru, but im digging it)

Eventually I came to belive. The was no great revelation, no defining moment. It was more like an enormous exhaltation. It was like a gentle loosening of my grip, the color slowly returning to my knuckles. Some days are intoxicating, fragrant. Others, arid and monochromatic. /Few are lonely. And all are rich in possibility, like a blank page, or an ugly patch of dirt that with care becomes hospitable.
Greg Russinger

The dispute concerns an unbearable mismatch between lived reality and traditional explanations that proceed by their own logic without reference to lived reality.
Walter Brueggemann
