the fountain/leaf sequence is brilliant! a well-written visual image that is packed with metaphor! whoooo, i dig it!

And I wonder how much of Foy is Gordon/Everyman (or woman as the case may be.)

The irresistible pull of Grace. Augustine would know.

Prayers and Blessings.

Great series, RLP.

"...the natural beauty of the fountain had developed because no one was controlling what happened to it...All of this happened over time and created the unplanned, random beauty of the whole."

Wow. Quite complimentary-this Foy story and Savage Joy.

Complimentary in the sense that not only do these writings sound nice, but they also leave me more convinced that it's...true.

Completely unrelated to the passage itself, did you know there's a singer witha song on the latest "Grey's Anatomy" soundtrack named Foy Vance? You'd like the song too, I think, given your fondness for Indigo Girls. "Homebird" is the title. :)

I never know what to say between episodes.

"Shoo" was a great verb choice.

"A church would rush toward him, picking up speed, then whoosh by, slowing down as it moved down the street behind the car."

wow, i love the visual here. as if a church or any building could actually surge towards you, but we know exactly what you mean.

and then watching it float in the rear view mirror....cool writing.
