![]() ![]() It was a typical breezy day in the Bay Area, and a gust of wind kicked up, causing her long hair to fly all over the place as she struggled with my car. ![]() But she seemed pretty pissed off, and the sight was comical to watch, so I kept my distance, curious to see how this would play out. ![]() My car was parked in front of the office, and a curly-haired blonde with killer legs was leaning over the windshield-her hair apparently somehow stuck in my wiper blade. The scene unfolding across the street was just too entertaining to interrupt. When the light turned green, I kept jogging in place rather than crossing. but straddling that line can be so much fun.

The Ministry Of Utmost Happiness also reads like a first draft (is this also part of the deal? I can’t tell). Though Roy reaches for all kinds of poetry (Urdu shaayri, Leonard Cohen, Osip Mandelstam, Shakespeare) to offer the counterpoint of gravitas to her chosen tone, they become add-ons at best. When page after page of clever remarks goes by, you long for some old-fashioned outrage. A little irony is a useful thing an entire book written with ironic hipness tires you out. Roy chooses irony and this may have been the fatal mistake.

Only in the mystery of Christ is her mystery fully made clear. It is not possible to establish an exact chronological point for identifying the date of Mary’s birth … Her presence in the midst of Israel-a presence so discreet as to pass almost unnoticed by the eyes of her contemporaries. Her process of individuation is initiated by her reflection on who she is and her mission as handmaid of the Lord. ![]() However, through the spiritual intervention of God in her life, she becomes a person in terms of her religious vocation. As far as details about Mary’s person are concerned, we do not know much about her liking, knowledge, exterior etc. The factual data we gain from the Scriptures on Mary’s life are by no means copious. She is an exception to the rule and almost for that reason an exceptional woman. … Mary of Nazareth, however, is among the women most mentioned in the Bible, that is, in the New Testament. Of 1,426 names in the Bible only 111 names are women’s. Could we develop this statement further and conclude: To be ignorant of the Scripture is not to know Mary, the Mother of Christ?

Montaigne’s essays are free-roaming explorations of his thoughts and experience, filled with anecdotes and personal reflections. Here are some of his titles:īy diverse means we arrive at the same end. He meant them not as pedantic treatises, but as attempts or experiments upon himself.
