Hey, James, Merry Honda Days! [ ; hahaho.

Yesterday I turned 28 years old. What is your date of birth? I hope that my asking is not intrusive.
Sorry, if this is too personal, but are you religious? If so, how?
I've had almost no religion in my life. Since being friends with Aaron and reading and listening to Phil, I'm more and more interested in Christianity and what it could or should be universally and for me personally. I have a strong leaning towards believing in the trinity, mostly thanks to my friendship with Aaron.. It seems kooky to me, but I like it a lot.
Sorry if this is all uninteresting to you :P Thanks for reading anyway!

What's the last book, or anything, that you read that delighted you? I love reading Harvey Pekar. I heard about him from the movie American Splendor.
How do you feel about movies? I recently watched one called Silent Light, about Mennonites in Chihuahua, and like it quite a bit. [-:

TTYL,
Best wishes,
Gregory

In video 9.3, from about 6:16 to 7:36 is a break. Here's my Lecture 9 Summation:

"The eternity tasted in every aesthetic apprehension"

"The concrete being of man... his sensitivity matches the operator of his intellectual advance with a capacity and a need to respond to a further reality than meets the eye and to grope his way toward it."

"Art draws attention to the possibilities of human living." [ Bernard Lonergan ]

Phillip McShane talks on Friendliness, Faith, Art and artists. He details the subtleties and profundities of how artists relate with space, time, and other people, and he expands on different types of art. He references Joyce, Degas, Cezanne, Picasso, Mozart, and others.
