Readings

The first "reading" will be a program on NPR's Speaking of Faith. Krista Tippett interviews John O'Donohue, an Irish poet on "The Inner Landscape of Beauty." You can listen to the program by downloading it or streaming it here http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/programs/john_odonahue/index.shtml. If you don't have time to listen to it, you could read the transcript. SOFs websites are pretty awesome, with lots of extra information and pictures.

The second reading is "How Beauty Will Save the World: William Blake's Prophetic Vision" by Susanne Sklar, Spiritus 7 (2007): 30-39. I'll send it out by email. I found some things difficult to understand in the article, but other things very thought-provoking. I hope it will be worth our time. You might want to google some of the poetry talked about in the article. Blake's poetry is mostly in the public sector.

The Bible Reading is Psalm 27.
