There is a great difference between an alienated commuter riding a train and this same commuter reading a book about an alienated commuter riding a train...The nonreading commuter exists in true alienation, which is unspeakable; the reading commuter rejoices in the speakability of his alienation and in the new triple alliance of himself, the alienated character, and the author. His mood is affirmatory and glad: Yes! that is how it is!--which is an aesthetic reversal of alienation. -Walker Percy

Amish Faith Shines
There was an excellent article in the Dallas Morning News last Friday about the faith of the Amish after the tragedy that occurred there. There really isn't anything more I can say; the article speaks for itself.
