In my current position as the Program Director of a Faculty Development Fellowship, we regularly discuss the concept of different learner types. The challenge as a medical educator is how to teach to a variety of different learner types especially if you are giving a medical lecture or other didactic event. The best researched learning types in medical education are those based on the work of David Kolb and his concepts of experiential learning types. His classic four types are: diverging, assimilating, converging, and accommodating. All of my fellows and residents take a Kolb learning style inventory when they start the program. Probably the most popular learning style theory in common use is based on Neil Fleming's four sensory modalities of visual, read/write, auditory, and kinesthetic. Many talk about being a "visual" or "auditory" learner especially regarding their tolerance of listening to a lecture vs. "seeing" pictures, images, video as ways to learn. In the advent of medical simulation and adult/active learning, kinesthetic learning has become increasingly popular as many adults must "do" in order to learn.
It is in this educational area of debate, the app Picturing Medicine attempts to assist visual learners. Created by a team of educators and writers/artists, Picturing Medicine is geared towards medical students and residents who appreciate the visual method of learning. The app is divided into 3 themes: syndromes, signs and symptoms, and differential diagnoses. I did not purchase any of the in-app options so my review is based on what comes "free" in the app downloaded from the iTunes store. Clicking on the theme antiphospholipid syndrome brings up an illustration of a woman with other superimposed pictures. You have the option of viewing these "unlabelled" to test yourself or view them with the labels and explanations. If you click on "more info" the app sends you to a summary of the condition in eMedicine/Medscape. Clicking on ARDS under Signs and Symptoms, brings up a picture of lungs, a chest x-ray and a "blue man" who seems to exhaling smoke. The labels give you a brief overview of the condition, though little practical detail for practicing providers. The More Info brings you back to eMedicine for their article on ARDS.
Let's try out the Picturing Medicine app to see how well it helps this visual learner.
Login to iMedicalApps in order to view the following video review of Picturing Medicine. Registration for iMedicalApps is free.
Evidence based medicine
The app uses "educational evidence" regarding the concept of visual learning and combines that with quality illustrations and a respected evidence reference in eMedicine.
What providers would benefit from this App?
Students, residents, mid-level students, nursing students and any other provider who claims to be a visual learner.

- Price
- $4.79 on Android; Free on iOS with in-app purchases from $1.99 to $8.99.
- Likes
- Utilizes Fleming's visual learner theory.
- Quality medical illustrations.
- Ability to view with and without illustration labels to quiz yourself.
- Links out to eMedicine for more information about each topic.

- Pricing of in-app purchases seems somewhat arbitrary.
- Overall
An interesting educational app for medical students, residents and junior learners of allied health fields who desire a visual alternative to learning medical syndromes, signs/symptoms and differential diagnoses. App may be too basic for some, but with the eMedicine integration, learners with a read/write preference can still get their fix.
- Overall Score
- 4
- User Interface
Unique approach to teaching medical knowledge; illustrations are good quality despite basic UI.
- Multimedia Usage
High quality medical illustrations that offer an alternative to reading with good integration with eMedicine.
- Price
Reasonably priced, but can get much more expensive with in-app purchases.
- Real World Applicability
Could be very helpful for beginners in the medical fields, likely not applicable to anyone above resident level of training.

I was in the bathroom with the boys last night and caught a glimpse of Z standing next to me in the mirror. You are not going to believe what I saw! My little 5 lb 12 oz baby is now 12 years old and TALLER than his mama! I don't know who gave him permission to do that, but I would like you to take it back. Now, please, thankyouverymuch. Ehem, okay, sorry, I know I can't stop it now, but seriously at 12 years old?!? I kept checking his growing progress over the last few months, but some how he not only caught up to me but passed me! I even made K take a picture of us today, so I could really see it!
I hope you all have a very nice rest of the day. Excuse me, I have a sudden urge to get rid of all my flats. You may even find me muttering something about how could this have happened...
Until next time,

Oh no!! That is too cute! I have to chuckle because my son is almost six years old and is almost taller than his nine year old sister, and it makes me wonder how much longer until he passes me up.ReplyDelete
Hard to believe that's where I could be in six years. My little guy was 5 lb 12 oz as well and is getting taller than I'd like much faster than I'd like.ReplyDelete

thank you Marydon for that sweet tour. 50 years is so wonderful....ours will be 42. And the post on the Christmas trees was wonderful. I think I would really love to travel the world on a sleigh with reindeer as my guide and see all those trees. Loved the lesson about the "Partridge in a Pear Tree". So many of the old nursery rhymes have double meanings. Have a beautiful Sunday. We are off today to just window shop and see the Christmas displays in a sweet area of town. I have yet to really go look at Christmas decorations. Then we are going to stop for eggnog pancakes. :)ReplyDelete
How lovely. So many pink and girlie things to admire. I love it all. thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Happy Sunday Marydon,ReplyDelete
Love your tour of all your beautiful things. Your home is lovely.
Enjoy your Holidays
Suzann ~xoxo~
Your home and decorations are simply gorgeous! and you look mahvelous! 50 yrs quite a feat, congratulations!ReplyDelete
We were stationed in Kodiak from'91-'94. I left my heart there. Ysp, catching slamon by hand during the season isn't as hard as it sounds. Freezer full of salmon, dollies, halibut and venison. Wild salmonberries (silimalr to raspberries) and blueberries grew wild everywhere. Oh and the wildflowers, simply beautiful. I learned how to make honey from them It was just a step back in time. Felt like we were really "living off the land" and it felt so good. I made our bread...it would be moldy in the stores from being frozen then sitting on the shelf. The water was immaculate...so fresh, clean, clear and tasted so good! and of course always cold. Seems I made just about all our food from scratch. So laid back...where ya gonna go? 40 miles of paved roads and about that many bars ( for the fisherman when they were in port). Loved hiking through the woods, smelled so fresh, oh and the wildlife, I was in heaven, watching the Eagles fly by our windows and nest in our trees...omg, I better stop. Once you get me going....!
Have a great day and keep warm!
Beautiful decorations and vignettes, Marydon! Your home shows that you have that wonderful Christmas spirit!ReplyDelete
Many warm wishes during this holiday season!

This Hole's Got a Bucket in It
Ben Syversen plays trumpet in two of New York's best bands, Balkan juggernaut Raya Brass Band and also ferociously eclectic guitar-and-horn-driven "new Balkan uproar" outfit Ansambl Mastika. His new solo album Cracked Vessel is a masterpiece of warped, paint-peeling noise and spontaneous fun. Part noise-rock, part free jazz, with frequent Balkan and funk tinges, it screeches, squalls and rattles its way through one side of your cranium and out the other. Easy listening? Hardly, but it's without question one of the most deliciously intense albums of the year (it'll be on our Best of 2010 list at the end of December). Alongside Syversen's alternately thoughtful atmospherics, blazing Gypsy sprints and tersely wary passages, Xander Naylor's guitars do triple duty, serving as both bass and percussion along with providing some of the most memorably twisted sonics recently captured on disc. The beats can get even crazier when Jeremy Gustin's drums are in the mix; otherwise, he holds this beast to the rails while it thrashes to break free and leap into the nearest abyss.
The album opens with the possibly sardonically titled Frontman, Syversen playing sort of a "charge" theme over percussive, trebly guitar skronk. As is the case frequently here, the drums crash in, the guitar goes nuts – and then it's over. A staggered, off-kilter stomp with Balkan overtones, Weird Science sounds like a sketch that Slavic Soul Party might have abandoned because it was too crazy even for them, especially as the guitar careens and roars. Bad Idea contrasts pensive, terse trumpet against gingerly stumbling guitar underneath, finally exploding in a ball of chromatic fury and then back down again. Naylor cools the embers with sheets of reverb-drenched white noise.
The fourth track, Untitled, begins with a creepy minimalist Bill Frisell guitar taqsim and gets even weirder: even Syversen's pensive, sostenuto trumpet can't normalize this one. Krazzle works a long noise-funk crescendo up to a macabre trill, all the way down through a shower of amplifier sparks to virtual stillness – and suddenly they're back at it. End of Time turns a playful trumpet-and-guitar conversation into a memorably nasty confrontation and another effective quiet/insane dialectic; From the Abyss has Syversen craftily dodging everything Naylor and Gustin can hurl at him, which is a lot, all the way down to a netherworld where a richly and unexpectedly beautiful minor-key art-rock song assembles itself and then eventually fades. It's the most counterintuitive and richly satisfying passage in the entire album. There's also the aptly titled Apparition, a study in percussion on all available instruments; Fried Fruit, a twisted funk tune, and the bonus track, Talk, which hints at minor-key janglerock before going completely off the rails with several blasts of guitar fury and finally a brutal, bodyslamming crescendo. The louder you play this, the more exhilarating it is. Definitely not for the faint of heart. Watch this space for upcoming shows.
Concert Review: The Grneta Duo+ at Bechstein Hall, NYC 5/27/10
The concert was billed as something of a wild and crazy night, but it was as much about the strength and intelligence of the playing and the compositions as it was about raw excitement. The Grneta Duo+ dedicate themselves to preserving the dual clarinet tradition, which isn't as uncommon as it might seem, particularly in eastern Europe. Clarinetist Vasko Dukovski won first prize at the International Woodwind Competition at Stara Zagora, Bulgaria, which in the clarinet world is sort of the equivalent of being named guitarist of the year at jambase. His fellow reedman and Juilliard pal Ismail Lumanovski is one of the world's foremost improvisers in any style of music, perhaps most notably with the New York Gypsy All-Stars. The "+" in the group is pianist Alexandra Joan, a perfect addition with her edgy intensity, confidently wide-ranging virtuosity and also a degree of gravitas. It's not hard to imagine her in rehearsal: "C'mon, guys, let's get serious." As much as this was an evening of sophisticatedly tongue-in-cheek fun, there were just as many moments of flat-out, riveting power.
The trio opened with Bartok's Romanian Dances, a suite of fairly simple themes that gave the clarinets plenty of opportunity to playfully blend and bend their tones. Dukovski and Joan would revisit a similar suite, Pablo de Sarasate's Gypsy Airs later on, Dukovski airing out his upper register boisterously over Joan's cantabile glimmer. The first of two world premieres, Gerald Cohen's Grneta Variations very cleverly worked permutations of a cantorial theme (without any particular liturgical connotation, the composer explained beforehand). A recurrent fanfare with the clarinets grew with increasing degrees of disquiet, juxtaposed against a series of increasingly more comedic motifs; Joan handled her score's tricky rhythms with a nimble aplomb worthy of Dave Brubeck.
Night at the Kafana, by Nicholas Csicsko was premiered by Lumanovski at Carnegie Hall last year. Interpolating several famous Balkan folk themes within a sometimes bracing, sometimes otherworldly architecture, it hinted at a dance, morphed into a big ballad and then a matter-of-factly nail-biting rondo that the duo of Lumanovski and Joan approached with a nonchalantly singleminded intensity.
Lumanovski then went off-program, leading Dukovski in an improvisation that awed the crowd: both clarinetists are Macedonian, so Dukovski was instantly, seemingly intuitively in on his bandmate's sizzling, rhythmically dizzying flights, eventually moving from providing a pulse to join in the whirlwind of savage chromatic fun. The last two pieces were a study in contasts, Mohammed Fairouz' Ughiat Mariam (another world premiere) stoically, stately and soulfully expanded on an understatedly brooding Arabic theme, while Serbian clarinetist/composer Ante Grgin's Hameum Suite became a delightfully counterintuitive dialogue between two very distinct clarinet voices, Dukovski following Lumanovski's most brilliantly blazing passage of the night with a suave deviousness, as if to say, "uh uh, that's not how it's done" and then picking up with the same lightning attack when least expected while Joan anchored the work with an unaffected plaintiveness. She's a leading advocate of the music of George Enesco, and that influence could be felt strongly here.

This rocket is actually a clone of the Enerjet 1340 using the Estes Eliminator (or Eliminator XL) kit. You can also use the Centuri MARS Project kit, the Estes Challenger II kit, the Centuri Phoenix Bird, Estes Maniac, or the Estes Longshot for making this clone.
I used resources such as this reference.
There's also a build article posted at Modelrocketbuilding.blogspot.com
There are various threads about the Enerjet 1340 on the rocketry forums that you can find and read.
All components were stock with the payload bay tube being cut down a little to have the kit match the dimensions of the original kit.
The 24mm x 95mm stock motor mount was used from the Eliminator kit. The original kit used a 29mm motor mount so it could fly F motors.
Construction was easy and quick with the only change was adding some Kevlar to the rubber band shock cord. The Kevlar was attached to the motor mount with a loop on the other end to attach the rubber band shock cord to.
The rocket was finished using Monokote that is normally used on model aircraft.
For the Enerjet 1340 decals I downloaded the graphic file free from Ye Olde Rocket Plans' "Decal and Templates" section.
This model flew very, very well straight up.
The first flight was with a C6-3 using a motor adapter in 2014. Great flight, no damage.
The second flight was flown on 1MAR2015 using a D12-3. A 24mm adapter included with the kit was used. Excellent flight.
The third flight occurred on 19APR2015 using an E9-6. The flight was perfect. There was a bit of wind and had a walk to retrieve it. Next time I'll use a small parachute.
Recovery system was fine for the rocket. I would use a smaller parachute for the higher flights.
A great kit with no real cons I can think of.

Very pale yellow color with golden hues, excellent transparence and brightness. Lively small bubbles with good persistency. Very expressive on the nose showing the terroir through elegant floral notes, fresh citrusy notes and white fruits such as pear. Complex palate with a balance between fresh acidity and creamy notes from the lees. A long and persistent finish marked by the finesse and complexity.
Raw oysters, salmon carpaccio, southern king crab, pasta with crab and creamy cheeses. For desserts it can pair well with blueberry cheesecake.

Tim McGraw's New Album to Feature Wife and 'Kid'
Tim McGraw's highly anticipated Sundown Heaven Town album will make its debut September 16th, but the wait is over for the cover art and track listing for the set, which will be available to pre-order at iTunes, Amazon and the singer's website starting Tuesday, July 29th. Co-produced by McGraw with longtime collaborator Byron Gallimore, the disc will be available in a 13-track standard edition as well as an 18-track deluxe version. The latter features a duet with Kid Rock called "Lincoln Continentals and Cadillacs," while wife Faith Hill and Catherine Dunn lend their voices to tracks on the album's standard edition.
Tim McGraw, Faith Hill Go Home to 'Mama's' in New Video
"This album is very encompassing of everything that I've done in my career," McGraw says. "I think it's a good microcosm of what my 20 or so years in music have been, in a lot of ways. You can certainly hear parts of my career throughout all of these songs, as well as the future and where my music is headed. To me, the title of the album is all about that time where you stop doing what you have to do, and start doing what you want to do."
With the current single, "Meanwhile Back at Mama's, featuring McGraw's better half, moving up the Top 10 at country radio, and his summer tour well underway, the singer will deliver the new album quicker than many fans anticipated.
"I feel like I've got a lot of music in me and that's part of the reason why this album is so soon after the last one and why I wanted to start sharing it with everyone as soon as I could," he explains. "I'm excited about where music is gonna take me and where I'm gonna take my music."
Sundown Heaven Town track listing:
1. "Overrated"
2. "City Lights"
3. "Shotgun Rider"
4. "Dust"
5. "Diamond Rings and Old Barstools" (with Catherine Dunn)

7. "Sick of Me"
8. "Meanwhile Back at Mama's" (featuring Faith Hill)
9. "Keep on Truckin'"
10. "Last Turn Home"

It was a wonderful evening to go worm hunting. That's Worm Moon hunting!
With great weather upon us I took advantage of it and chased down the full Worm Moon last night. This time trying to get it coming up in back of the historic New London's Ledge Lighthouse.
Everything was going to plan until a bank of low clouds moved in. The moon slithered through the cloud layer, only to be seen about several degrees above the lighthouse, not behind it.
A pretty picture, but not what I wanted. So what do you do? Turn around 180 degrees and shoot the setting sun. A nice sunset image in March! Wow! The evening was saved!

What can you do during acute inhuman soul-crushing conditions in life? Hope. This book is about "Hope." - dopamine for life.
Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's presents his life in Nazi death camps and learning for spiritual survival. The narrative is based on his experience and the experiences of others he treated later in his practice. The author aptly reiterated throughout the book "We cannot avoid suffering, but we can choose how to cope with it, and find a meaning to live."
The book has three parts, life and lessons from the death camp, logotherapy, and final citings from various incidents of depression of his patients and others.
I was pleasantly surprised when the author described his outlook towards happiness, which I have been thinking lately and coincided with my formulation
"Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long-run—in the long-run, I say!—success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think about it."

What makes the CyberKnife Different?
Instead of restricting patient movement, CyberKnife's leading-edge technology was designed to move with the tumor. This unique capability results in the delivery of more accurate and higher doses of radiation to the tumor, while avoiding the surrounding healthy tissue and reducing the side effects commonly associated with conventional radiation therapy treatments.
Benefits of CyberKnife® Treatments
- Pain-free
- Non-invasive
- No anesthesia required
- Outpatient procedure
- Exceptional accuracy spares healthy tissue and organs
- No recovery time
- Immediate return to normal activity
- No invasive head or body frame
- No breath holding or "respiratory gating" required during treatment
CyberKnife patients routinely report that they have no side effects or minimal side effects from their treatment, and in most cases, they can immediately return to their normal daily activities. Speak with your doctor about possible side effects you may encounter.
Is the CyberKnife Treatment Right for Me?
With CyberKnife, there is not a one-size-fits- all approach to patient care. The system's innovative design and use of leading- edge technologies enables your physician to tailor treatments specifically to the shape of your tumor(s) in order to ensure the best possible outcome.
The unique features of CyberKnife that allow for individualized treatments include:
Real-Time Image Guidance
CyberKnife uses imaging software to track and continually adjust treatment for any movement of the patient or tumor. The system will allow you to breathe normally and remain comfortable during your treatments.
Unlimited Flexibility & Freedom
CyberKnife's robotic maneuverability allows your physician to deliver a highly individualized treatment. With a linear accelerator mounted on a flexible robotic arm, the clinician can select from thousands of different angles from which to deliver radiation treatments.
Depending on the type of tumor, you will likely need only one to five treatments. With other radiation systems, you could require dozens of treatments spread out over several weeks. CyberKnife patients routinely report that they have minimal side effects from their treatment, and in most cases, they can immediately return to their normal daily activities.
Patient Safety
CyberKnife operates on a fully integrated closed loop system. Each function works in unison to ensure the safest possible patient experience.
Unrivaled Accuracy
CyberKnife can treat moving tumors with pinpoint accuracy that is unmatched by other radiosurgery systems. CyberKnife can essentially "paint" your tumor with a high-dose of radiation by targeting the tumor from almost every conceivable angle.
The X-rays in the treatment room are constantly taking pictures of the tumor, comparing its actual location to the treatment plan, and instantly reporting it back through a sophisticated software program to the robot. The robot responds to the new location and instantly adjusts the beam to accurately target the tumor. This unique tracking capability results in an extremely accurate delivery of radiation, sparing your surrounding healthy tissue and critical organs from damage.

Wynwood Walls...finally!
I am proud to say that we FINALLY made it down to the Wynwood Arts District in Miami. It has been on our radar since we moved to Florida almost ten years ago, but we just never made it happen. Miami isn't far from us- and we have been down to South Beach and the Design District here and there...but never to those famed Wynwood Walls- until now!

Greece! -Sweet! A lovely trip this year! Thanks for pointing out #6 – I was missing her!
I wanted this mornings title to be RIOTS OF COLOUR but there was no riot. Yesterday proceeded with business and purpose and NOISE but most of all – calm. The opposite of riot. But the colour is launching itself into the remnants of our sepia winter with thoughtless riot-like explosiveness. And I am glad.
Ton spends a good part of his day listening to the ducklings and chicklings in the Turkey House. Making sure they do not riot.
Part of Tia's first month of training is dealing with me sitting or crouching or standing close to her. I am not getting too close yet, but she is not afraid which is the good thing. We have a year she and I – to become close friends.
Poppy's Six have their next sized bed in their creep now. I held off on this because of the cold (cuddled together in a little tub is warmer – but now they have almost outgrown this stage. They are eating their solids very well. Can you see Number Six at the red all-day feeding bowl? In the corner?
Weaning time in a week or so I think.
EXCITING NEWS! My daughter has gifted me a trip to Greece, in June, to join her in Kalymnos. I have never been to Greece so this is an exciting development. I have spent a lot of time in Europe in my film days but never Greece. She and her partner Jack will be climbing there. I love to rock climb too and she found a cheap ticket for me to join her in Athens. Then we fly to Kos, then a ferry to Kalymnos.
I love to travel as you know! So, for the next month, I will be saving all the egg and asparagus money for my explorations on the island, and getting the farm into an easy rhythm. Jake and Marty will manage the mornings and John the afternoons. I will be gone a week.
Being able to be spontaneous is why I am not milking this summer so I am embracing this fantastic offer. Sophie knows this and is taking advantage of my gap year – I need to get more details for you.
First I must learn some Greek!
Life is good. A challenge ahead.
I hope you have a lovely day.
Love celi

Yes, Kate cracked me up too. Oh Celi, what a wonderful plan; I am green with envy just thinking about your trip but you have certainly earned it. It's great that you can depend on Jake and John to cover for you. We will all be looking forward to going with you. ~Mame. 🙃
Ah, Ceci! Do we get to see Greece too through the eyes of the New Kid or Camera House? We wanna go too, they all said wistfully! So exited for you! What a thoughtful, wonderful daughter and S-I-L!
Regarding yesterday's post about zia/tia….Tia is the Spanish word for Aunt, Tio is Uncle. We have many restaurants around here named Tia's (Aunty's), Tia Maria's is a big one.

The moment many a Tesla fan has been waiting for is almost here: Elon Musk is set to reveal the Tesla Truck at an event in Los Angeles tonight. Here's what you need to know.
First thing first, you might want to prepare some coffee if you're in the East Coast or across the pond. The event is set to begin at 8PM PT/ 11PM ET, and Musk has a habit of running late.
Tonight https://t.co/pVAv4v1h8b
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 21, 2019
Although there is not a landing page yet, Tesla has previously streamed events on its website. The URL was livestream.tesla.com for the Model Y earlier this year, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same thing this time around. In any case, the stream will almost certainly be featured prominently on Tesla's website and we'll update you with a proper URL and/or embed when we get one.
We know precious few concrete details about the 'Cybertruck' so far, but Musk has let slip a few tidbits. The truck will apparently feature a futuristic Blade Runner inspired design. Musk has claimed it "will be a better truck than an F-150 in terms of truck-like functionality, and be a better sports car than a standard [Porsche] 911."
Cybertruck unveil on Nov 21 in LA near SpaceX rocket factory
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 6, 2019
Musk has claimed the truck will seat six passengers, offer up to 400 to 500 miles of range, and be able to tow up to 300,000 pounds. It's also supposed to start for less than $50,000, although it's not clear if that price includes tax credits.
Making a good truck will be key to Tesla's long-term success in the US, where the three best-selling vehicles are all pickups. A good showing tonight could be just what some gas-guzzling Americans need to see the light.
Stay tuned for our coverage of the Tesla Truck reveal.

Ban's talks in Tbilisi are expected to center on Georgia's plans to send some 100 troops to Afghanistan to assist the NATO mission there.
Ban arrived in the Georgian capital from Kabul, where he had talks with Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
UN spokesman Adrian Edwards said earlier Ban's discussions with Karzai were to focus on how to ensure UN coordination with the Afghan government.
Ban also met with the U.S. commander of NATO's International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, General Dan McNeill.

For whatever reason, I was attracted to this Middle English version of The Cloud of Unknowing and found therein a really beautiful prayer for all those who seek to live the will of God.
Goostly freende in God, I preie thee and I beseche thee that thou wilt have a besi [earnest] beholding to the cours and the maner of thi cleeping [calling]. And thank God hertely, so that thou maist thorow [through] help of His grace stonde stifly agens alle the sotil assailinges of thi bodily and goostly enemyes, and winne to the coroun [crown] of liif that evermore lasteth.
I don't know why I find it so moving, except to think--in the communion of the Saints, I am blessed by the prayer of a person who so long ago wrote these words and who lives now in this world through them even as he pleads before the throne of God for all those who read them. One of the great mysteries revealed by God and constantly spoken of by the Church stands open to me here in a way that it does not when I read some other things. Odd--but perhaps it is the touch of that which is almost foreign, but still remains within the grasp of those who wish to understand it. The language is not my language and yet, it is close enough to know and alien enough to suggest another time, another world, another way of being.
