Great to hear from you, my friend. Thanks ...Chris,<br /><br />Great to hear from you, my friend. Thanks for sharing some thoughts. They're always welcome.<br /><br />I've seen "Ostrov". Fantastic film, with a wonderful portrayal and insight into what the life of a saint must look like. Such a mystery.<br /><br />Be well, Chris.<br /><br />And P.S. thank you greatly for your beautiful and kind words regarding the summer forum. They warmed our hearts, dearly.Wiederspahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01023535654419699240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8059703387718817073.post-13727127533739490522009-09-12T20:57:24.343-07:002009-09-12T20:57:24.343-07:00Hi Aaron,
This is Chris from the forum :).
I'...Hi Aaron,<br /><br />This is Chris from the forum :).<br />I'm commenting here to finish what I messed up earlier (I'm not signed in, but I'm 'cristOfur'). You may have seen a preview of what I wrote as an alert, or somthing--before I deleted it. but essentially I was ranting against public education in what I though a graceful manner at the time.<br /><br />But what I saw is that I hold alot of anger needlessly. And at most I might say that the obligatory 'status qou' nature of education only depreciates the value of the accomplishment. For some it's what God wants.<br /><br />But I do think there are many paths ignored because of assumptions we make.<br /><br />The path you've chosen thus far was a prerequisite for who you are. And apart from knowing little of you personally, I'm already in your debt for the work you've put forward. Your an admirable man :] (But of course..., get thee behind me satan ;] ) <br /><br />Inspired by this stream of quality Russian media. I picked out a movie from the library a couple days ago called "Island" or "Ostrov" in Russian. I had no idea it was a religious film or that it would bring me such peace, it was just an russian film with lots of little festival award tags on the cover, like that on the cover of a ceratin someone's. Your probably aware of it, being a film festival superman.<br /><br />My family's been stricken with bronchitis. It hit my dad especially hard. He's the family trumpet on 'orginal sin', but my grandpa always said of him 'he does everything out of spite', especially true wheh he has bronchitis ^_^. This movie calmed him down again, and his coffing. I'm so grateful.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HehNS7zfnA4<br /><br />peace to you,<br /><br />ChrisChris Englenoreply@blogger.com
