It is truly crazy and yet also very validating, as I now really and truly feel that I am part of America, even if I do not necessarily want to be.. Seeing myself be myself and yet be considered representative of something outside of myself, it is surreal as a mushroom trip.
Its like Daniel praying at his window just for himself alone and not to even remotely condemn others by his own activiy, knowing damn well that the Kings of Babylon have decreed against it, or like Noah building that ark, not to spite or scoff at the world but rather simply out of his own pleasure in the labor and art of ship-building..
I would have thought the producers/filmers would have preferred something from my parish such as this
