V4TLP (Videos for The Learning Process)

PINNED

Taoism is the highest teaching I've come across, so the first few videos speak of such things, but eventually this playlist will cover all the ground that the reading does, I love hearing and seeing professional videos on these topics, I don't... See More »

My Literary Canon

PINNED

MLC and TIS (The Inner Sanctum) in Literature and Books. This list will be updated regularly, and pinned. What is gradually coming into focus here is a picture of what means the most to me in Literature (fine prose and lyricism) and books... See More »

Just one more thing

I really am attempting to read hundreds of books at a time!! Kind of tricky explaining why it has to be like this, it is basically to accomplish more in the long run with whatever time is allotted to me. Next time I post something, it'll be with... See More »

A 3 to 6 week hiatus

I feel the need to let things gestate, I feel like I shouldn't be on here making my posts and never branching out to see what everyone else is doing and saying. That is only good if I take a break. What is wrong with me that I feel the need to boast... See More »

What my next 3 weeks will look like for reading

For the most part, the hyper focus, selected with quasi effort, for with this stuff, i'm feasting on, if to my merit only later will my output show it. Rainer Maria Rilke Poetry, many more to get from other translators 1. The Book of Hours 2.... See More »

It was a fine day, and will be a fine overnight

Dad behaved well, his brother who used to be so mean to him is gravely ill, so he wasn't as talkative, I read to him, and then slapped the headphones on when his show was on. I loved reading my physical books, to feel all those pages gripped by the... See More »

Physical books being read

This afternoon gathered some of my physical treasures in 3 piles by my recliner, and these are them, which will be added to the 1st of the 3 pinned posts, but i'm simply making a new post about them to bring fresh awareness, it is indeed a pleasure... See More »

The present is because of the past

I get it now, why dad is so hell bent on distracting and interrupting me when I clearly state i'm going to be reading with the headphones on, and he's all like you've said that so many times I don't take you seriously anymore, therefore i'll just... See More »

The post that comes after that previous post

This so much like a new beginning, and my previous post I shall reference it just this last time to being of a kind where i'll continually be editing, and adding to, to give it a pulse, an ever up to date picture, now all foggy and splotchy, to a... See More »

What my next post will be

It will be entitled My Literary Canon, a detailed list of the texts that inhabit the most valued. It is my hope that presented as I will, will give a "through a glass darkly" resemblance of a very sweet, and wise selection, of the rich history of... See More »

Captain's log -- May 3, 2:35am

I have now switched to a Lunar Archways Temple of Serenity mix and eerie blizzard sounds. I was just getting into Shostakovich's 10th symphony when the ole man started his gospel music edification time. This will keep him from talking to me at any... See More »

A little moment, I don't mind these kinds of verbiage

La roue has a Kipling quote, dad says Rudyard Kipling? I go Yeah, he says I know him, so I say you used to have coffee with him right? He says No, it was chicken noodle soup. Musically i've switched to Handel, the 2nd greatest Baroque composer after... See More »

Entrance by Rilke from his Book of Images (1902, 1906)

from Edward Snow's translation, which has the German along with it, who knows maybe from all the German films i've seen I have a little head start in possibly being able to read German. When I was a teen I wanted to learn it to read Nietzsche, it... See More »

A Schubert evening

With La roue playing on the tv screen, and my kindle, dad will surely talk quite a bit, but eventually he'll be snoring to Schubert's timeless sonorities, and a most magical night will be had.

A long schlaffen now

The last gummy taken is wearing off, that is when I take a sleeping pill, so that the 2 don't mix too much, I barf when that happens, so then with the remainder of the gummy and the sleeping pill, i'm ready for a long long schlaffen, German word for... See More »

Dad's lady friend put the moves on him tonight

Showed him her bed, it's a high tech bed that can make you more comfortable, she says to lie down, take a nap, he lies down and then she's lying beside him holding his hand. At this point I had went to turn the kitchen light off and he goes, "oh you... See More »

My bro is in some richly historical places now

He's vacationing in Greece and Rome, will be attending something to do with the late Pope, I wonder if they were describing it wrong and they'll be there for when the New one is picked!! My reading mix is fast approaching full capacity, covering all... See More »

Ten translations I have of the Bible, and announcing that I will be going through it, spelled out here

For the most part just the text will be read, only if i'm so inclined will I take the time to see if a note is worthwhile or just time wasting reference to some book out there and the pagination that i'd need a large library for and the whole... See More »

Mendelssohn - Songs Without Words (complete set) - Rena Kyriakou

Ever wonder what classical composer most Reformed theology folks like the best besides Bach? It's Felix Mendelssohn, and this is for me the last music i'll listen to while reading for this amazing day, I have such a great mix set up, and more will... See More »

The Man Wreathed in Seaweed by Italo Calvino

There's a bunch of this author's work on Kindle Unlimited and this is perhaps the most neatest one of them all, over a thousand pages and he's like doing an Italian version of the Brothers Grimm!!

Here's a paragraph from Marguerite Young's dreamy book Miss MacIntosh, My Darling

This is just a small taste, I love it, such a good one to lose track of time with.

Music in 12 Parts by Philip Glass

If you're a minimalist fan, you surely have heard of this, it seems to me like the holy grail of minimalism, and is enchanting my readings this morning!! It just sounds like mental space bliss, I tried enjoying it a few days ago with my... See More »

S. Morteza Lajevardi's translation of Persian Poetry

There's 2 volumes for Rumi, 1 for Hafiz, and one that covers 1000 years with 65 poets. One of the greatest cyber friends I ever had was Persian, and the poetry from there is world famous. I hope she is doing well, if there's a knowing who I mean... See More »
