Fall Break II

From downtown Phoenix:

He was evangelized last night on the street.  This street evangelist was pretty smug and all-around uneducated–it seems there’s some kind of biblical relativism going around.  He told him to read the Song of Songs and Augustine’s Confessions.  He asked if it was biblically derived, or something to that effect.  Then he tried to explain to him that he would enjoy it for its own sake, because it’s a beautiful story about a real person that all humanity can relate to.  The evangelist looked at him as if I was trying to “pull one over on him,” or that somehow he had gotten the upper hand in the argument, and he decided to compromise.  Now he has to read Romans.
“I don’t believe we’ve formally–“
“–David.”
“I’m Peter, as in the first pope,” he said waving his lit cigarette.
“Pleasure.”

Fall Break I

From Phoenix:
So, today I taught my 10th grade art class how to sing John Kanackanacka; then we went over to the other 10th grade section, in a warlike manner, flung open the door to their peaceful literature class and sang/screamed to them.  It was awesome.

Then I recited “Everything Depends on a Red Wheel Barrow” and “This is Just to Say” by W.C. Dubbs to my 6th graders; they all laughed a lot and most didn’t believe they were real poems and one of them actually called Red Wheel Barrow “evil.”  ðŸ™‚

Also, I’m going to be in Dallas for a few days next week.

I remain yours,

Peter Bloch
