[Tafadhali]

"The Masks of God." By Joseph Campbell.
There are four books in the collection, but lets count them as one. They deal with Mythology (Religion:) Creative, Primitive, Occidental and Oriental. These books shook me to the core! Campbell "opened my eyes" to the larger world of myth and religion, a world I never knew was there.
"Lost Christianity" By Jacob Needleman.
As it says on the cover "...(Jacob Needleman's) personal account of his quest for "the lost religion of love." Here is a quote. "Father Johnson is a Jesuit who has lived in Japan for thirty years and whose experience with Zen Buddhism has made him....one of the few committed Christians who have long believed that Christianity must show itself to be an expression of the same truth as the great Eastern teachings......" You can see why I like the book!
"Something of Value." By Robert Ruark.
It was about Kenya during the Mau-Mau uprising. They made a movie out of it which starred Rock Hudson, Dana Winter, and Sidney Poiter. The book was better. The first time I read it (1955) I was struck by man's inhumanity to man but I also remember a line from the book, "If a man does away with his traditional way of living and throws away his good customs, he had better first make certain that he has something of value to replace them." Something we all should remember, for our nation and ourselves.
There is one that sounds strange. "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations." What is good about it is that is a great resource or just reading for the fun of it. Also, they come out with a new addition from time to time. Great fun!
"The World's Religions." By Huston Smith. It was written in 1958 but it is still the best, non-judgmental book on Religions. Smith just gives the facts! I have used that book a thousand times in my Religion classes.
I am not a big fan of music. I only have a few CD's The Eagles, the Beatles, stuff like that. So you can see I am firmly stuck in the past!

you sound so dull and boring- all you read is churchy books or books that try to reinforce your buddist beliefs like your trying to force yourself to believe in buddha ( do you think youll reaffirm your faith in Christ?)
and you listen to music that has no soul too!
charlotte church and enya seems up your ally or maybe even AYA - strange flower
I recommend a Bossanova cd Roya ayers Coltrane or Miles Davis
or if you want to learn how to feel the rhythum (because truly believe that white people dont know how to dance) try a Barry white cd.

that was quite inflammatory, but I see through what your trying to do- Im not playing into your ignorance.

where I live has nothing to do with how I live and what I know- my house I am sure is bigger and safer than yours ;) and what does that have to do with white people not knowing how to dance?

so african dance isnt real dance?
tap isnt real dance?
the cha cha isnt a real dance?

boy yoy really are ignorant poor you.

I appreciate the art of dance and dancing.

Black people have a "natural" rhythum.

and you know very little about the dynamics of my person- you know not what I do or what I know how to do thank you very much

[Rory]

whatever, i see the real racist in you coming out ...
