from time to time I will reread the opening sequence of the magi in the desert. It is a master class in written description and beauty. Your summary captured well the ultimate miracle of laying down divine power in death being the victory over dying. Thank you for your faithfulness following through on that recommendation. I hope to converse more about it with you soon!
I have seen both movies, probably a few times each, but never considered reading the original novels - until now. I am currently (re)reading The Brothers Karamozov and I’m getting so much more out of it the second time around. BTW - will you be involved in the next round of Write of Passage?
That's wonderful Drake. I think that rule applies to many of the classics - some lessons/passages/anecdotes stand out more based on where we are in our lives at that moment.
Yes, I'll be back for WOP12. How about you? Quite interested in the new direction. I've struggled to niche down previously, so finding a "core idea" should be a good challenge.
That's great. I'm not running a mentor group this time, but joining as a gym lead so still involved, just in a lighter capacity. Will be good to link up again.
I want to read both of these now. For what it’s worth, Dr. Zhivago the movie is an absolute classic, and it has one of the best soundtracks of all time, a masterpiece written by Chet Atkins, who was a guitar luminary and Nashville legend.

Thanks Steven. There are so many beautiful passages. Would love to talk more about it. The crucifixion scene made a lasting impression.

Yes, I think that I will join WOP 11. If you’re running a mentor group again, may I join it, please?

Thanks Charlie! And I need to watch both films (Zhivago again given this new info). Thanks for sharing.
