and a few pages later...
brueggemann is speaking here of an alternative reality: "We need to ask not whether it is realistic or practical or viable but whether it is imaginable. We need to ask if our conciousness and imagination have been so assaulted and co-opted by the royal consciousness that we have been robbed of the courage or power to think an alternative thought." wow...these words are so right on. i love that we are being called to imagine and be filled with wonder. dream. inspire. this is the way of the new kindgom. i wonder if we as followers of the way are to help people out of their weakness in following the regime at hand and help inspire others to a place where they have the courage to think an alternative thought. just hearing these words inspires me to write music along this thought.... wake up, o sleeper. "thus every totalitarian regime is frightened of the artist." brueggemann rocks.
Ah. We are getting somewhere. Just think of the world we could imagine.... Can't wait to hear the tunes.
