...stuck in a linear rut, imposing patterns of one-way flow on a universe that consistently moves in circles

—John Michael Greer

This has stirred up my thinking about a bunch of different things that I hope to write about soon, but for now this will serve as a good reminder for me.

Good Writing

12 January 2008   Jeff Gill

I am reading The Book of Dave by Will Self and I am reading to my son the first book of the Nomes, Truckers by Terry Pratchett. tonight I came across some great writing in both of them.

From The Book of Dave:

Dave Rudman looked at the faces paled by resentment, the eyes bright with anger. How’s this going to help? Adding his own can of pain to this slopping tank of loss?

From Truckers:

‘It’s a good job you don’t believe in him, then’ said Masklin
‘Of course I don’t,’ agreed Gurder.
‘Your teeth are chattering though.’
‘That’s because me teeth believe in him. And so do my knees. And my stomach. It’s only my head that doesn’t, and it’s being carried around by a load of superstitious cowards.

Interestingly, a central theme of both books is how religions are formed over time.

Parting your soup is not a miracle, Bruce, it's a magic trick.

—Morgan Freeman as God in Bruce Almighty. My favourite line in the film. (We do love the magic tricks, don’t we?)

Be the miracle!

Bonus:
