00:00:00.690 --> 00:00:03.510 align:middle line:84%
Well, the question
is that why I have

00:00:03.510 --> 00:00:06.240 align:middle line:84%
a tendency towards the
long poem or the narrative.

00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:09.270 align:middle line:90%


00:00:09.270 --> 00:00:13.100 align:middle line:84%
Yes I think so, I mean,
it's that sense of movement.

00:00:13.100 --> 00:00:15.800 align:middle line:90%
It's the sense of movement.

00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:18.350 align:middle line:84%
And then I think
also the storytelling

00:00:18.350 --> 00:00:20.786 align:middle line:90%
is partly connected with that.

00:00:20.786 --> 00:00:26.300 align:middle line:84%
It kind of-- that
brings in other aspects

00:00:26.300 --> 00:00:31.580 align:middle line:84%
of the biblical type
imagination where

00:00:31.580 --> 00:00:36.350 align:middle line:84%
so much of spiritual reality
is conveyed in a story,

00:00:36.350 --> 00:00:41.060 align:middle line:84%
in the intersection of a story
with a particular person.

00:00:41.060 --> 00:00:46.550 align:middle line:84%
And for instance the parables of
Christ are all cryptic stories,

00:00:46.550 --> 00:00:49.130 align:middle line:84%
and they all have this
sort of narrative to them,

00:00:49.130 --> 00:00:52.520 align:middle line:84%
but they're basically at
some fundamental level

00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:55.130 align:middle line:90%
deeply inarticulate.

00:00:55.130 --> 00:00:59.750 align:middle line:84%
They have a kind
of stubbornness,

00:00:59.750 --> 00:01:05.600 align:middle line:84%
a sort of obdurate quality
that doesn't lend itself easily

00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:07.500 align:middle line:90%
to paraphrase.

00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:08.000 align:middle line:90%
