P.S.
Just can't get O Brother, Where Art Thou out of my head. Carried it inside everywhere yesterday, no matter where I was. I worked with the headphones playing old Gospel tunes, I told my youngest how we are going to watch this movie about rural Mississippi in the depression Friday night. I ordered the DVD on Amazon.com and also the soundtrack. Then I played samples they give over and over and over. Also, looked up a Gospel one by Alison Kraus. Almost ordered it too, probably will soon.
I read a review of the album and saw that it won the Grammy for best soundtrack for 2002 and it floored everyone. It was getting no radio play, no advertisement, no rumors even. Only word of mouth.
Speaking of the concept of illusion. I went to my mentor's house Sunday night. She brought up the Sermon on the Mount. She is a published scholar, so what she said was directed partly her way and the world she came from. So, it brought the point home more.
Her story went like this. How Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount and how it moved the thousands that heard. But two Pharisaic scholars toward the back of the crowd looked at one another and snickered, 'but this guy's never been published.'
When the shadows of this world are gone
I'll fly away
Like a bird whose prison walls has flown
I'll fly away.
It's like listening to Plato.
