Enchantment is the purest form of sales. enchantment is all about changing people's hearts, minds and actions because you provide them a vision or a way to do things better. the difference between enchantment and simple sales is that with enchantment you have the other person's best interests at heart, too.

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.

Wonder is like grace, in that it's not a condition we grasp; it grasps us. wonder is not an obligatory element in the search for truth. we can seek truth without wonder's assistance. but seek is all we'll do; there will be no finding. unless wonder descends, unlocks us ... truth is unable to enter. wonder may be the aura of truth, the halo of it. or something even closer. wonder may be the caress of truth, touching our very skin.

A christian boy or girl can learn mathematics, for example, from a teacher who is not a christian; and truth is truth however learned. but while truth is truth however learned, the bearing of truth, the meaning of truth, the purpose of truth, even in the sphere of mathematics, seem entirely different to the christian from that which they seem to the non-christian; and that is why a truly christian education is possible only when christian conviction underlies not a part but all, of the curriculum of the school.

Well people love to go dirty and stuff like that. it's funny, because even really dirty things can kind of inspire, but all things inspire really dirty improv and monologues. so then really dirty things can inspire the exact opposite. it's kind of a crapshoot.
