“Woman, then, stands in patriarchal culture as a signifier for the male other, bound by a symbolic order in which man can live out his fantasies and obsessions through linguistic command by imposing them on the silent image of a woman still tied to her place as the bearer of meaning, not maker of meaning.” MenStillsOrderCultureFantasySilentMalesBoundsObsessionCommandMakersTiedSymbolicImposing Book:Visual and Other Pleasures Source: Visual and Other Pleasures
“Performers always come back from the Edinburgh festival with adventure stories. Watts told a few: meeting a young kilt maker who spent a year in a madhouse after eating too much LSD, and accompanying Seattle actor and musician Michael McQuilken (of Collaborator Productions) to the hospital after a Frisbee accident. He reached up to catch it and cut his hand on a sign, .. He had to get a few stitches, but I think he can still play.” ThinkingYearsStillsPlayStoriesHandsYoungActorsToo MuchCuttingAdventureEatingMusicianMeetingsProductionsAccidentsHospitalsMakersPerformersFestivalsSeattleCollaboratorsLsdStitchesEdinburghMadhousesFrisbeeKilts Author:Reggie Watts
“There is a time when every person who encounters Jesus, who believes Jesus is the Son of God, decides that they will spend their life following Him. Some people, like the Apostle Paul, make this decision the minute they meet Him, the minute they become a Christian. Others, like the Apostle Peter, endure years of half-hearted commitment and spiritual confusion before leaping in with all their passion. Still others may enjoy some benefits of God's love and grace without entering into the true joy of a marriage with their maker.” PeopleYearsBelieveMayPersonsStillsChristianSpiritualJoyPassionJesusEnjoyDecisionHalfGraceMinutesSonBenefitsCommitmentEndureFollowingConfusionEncountersMakersPeterEnteringHeartedApostlesGod's LoveTrue JoyApostle PaulHalf Hearted Book:Miller 3-in-1: Blue Like Jazz, Through Painted Deserts, Searching for God Source: Miller 3-in-1: Blue Like Jazz, Through Painted Deserts, Searching for God

“The color of the prisoner's skin, and the form of his features, are not impressed upon the spiritual immortal mind which works beneath. In spite of human pride, he is still your brother, and mine, in form and color accepted and approved by his Father, and yours, and mine, and bears equally with us the proudest inheritance of our race - the image of our Maker. Hold him then to be a Man.” MenMindHumansStillsSpiritualFormFatherRaceMinesColorBrotherPrideBearsSkinsAcceptedFeaturesSpiteImmortalMakersPrisonerImpressedInheritanceBe A ManApprovedYour BrotherNot Impressed Author:William H.
