The logical thing to do once I start taking classes again is to pick up where I left off on my personal reading list. A nugget from tonight from The Irrestible Revolution - Shane Claiborne instead of Introduction to the Pentateuch or Making wise the simple - both of which are waiting on my desk. (Reading Quiz? Really? You must be kidding!)
[from his talk, ‘Crawl Through the Window,’ at Eastern’s graduation ceremony. Here is the brief backstory -I told the story of how some friends and I were busted for rappelling out of the windows of one of the dorms. The dean had written us a warning that said, ‘Can you please enter and exit the building through the doors, like everybody else?’]
The doors of normalcy and conformity are dead. The time has come to give up on doors and find a window to climb through. It’s a little more dangerous and may get you into some troubl, but it is a heck of a lot more fun. And the people who change the world have always been risk-takers who climb through windows while the rest of the world just walks in and out of doors.
