I just finished The End of the Modern Age by Allen Wheelis. It was wonderful to read. It articulated beautifully, succintly and often poetically many of the issues I’m trying to figure out. Too bad for me that it’s written in 1971 ;-\ . Most of the stuff that I was trying to get to last monday at my discussion was said much better here. It resonates deeply with the reading of John Raulston Saul and Darin Barney that I’ve been engaged with.

Also I was inspired by Obama’s speech on race. I put aside 40 minutes today to watch/listen to it. Heady, and eye-opening that a politician can speak this way, especially on the form of television.
