Daily Consumption 4-7-10

Song of the day - Anywhere I Lay My Head, Tom Waits

Passage of the day - Standing in the dim crypt in a country church where a handful of dust has been venerated for several hundred years, I see that even today, toward the end of the the century, the case is remembered with fresh carnations. I uncover my second realization: This is where they put their memories and wants. Besides functioning as vast cultural repositories, these churches map intimate human needs. -
Under the Tuscan Sun, Frances Mayes
