But maybe you're onto something! And yes, I like where you're going with the time thing. Sometimes I think linear views on time trap us into a kind of oppression, where because we're stressed out about what is or isn't happening in a certain amount of time, we're unable to honor and appreciate the beautiful growth and patterns that really are happening on other levels...other time tables. And Fran, I'm endlessly inspired by your zest for life and the ways you're always looking to learn something new. Thank you for being in my life!

I'll mention this post in the next few days on my blog. Having and raising children, in my mind, is the most important thing you will do in your life. Everything else pales in comparison. I was not familiar with chiasm, so now I have something else to learn more about today. What incredible insight. I’ll mention this post in the next few days on my blog.

I was not familiar with chiasm, so now I have something else to learn more about today.

Bad, bad, bad. I'm wondering how the poetic form of chiasm illuminates our understanding of time...it seems more similar to quantum understandings of time than to our Western linear understanding of time. Crap, now there goes my whole day. Now you’ve got me thinking. Bad, bad, bad.

A question, I've long considered the Gospel of John to be constructed in the form of a chiasm rather than a chronological history. It think I once plotted it out and found the Bread of Heaven passage was the centerpoint of the narrative. But I'm a lazy, loutsih sloven and I never studied it further. What do you think? A baptism story!
