    The Cart Remains on the Path

    I think it’s a special project.

    Last year, I began to memorize the Gospel of Luke. Just a little bit at a time, without a clear destination in mind. It might be called a compulsion. I had memorized things before, and this was another chance to sit with a long text and commit it to memory.

    There were many things that could have derailed this project. It never made a lot of sense, it has been a lot of work, and people seem generally ambivalent about its future prospects.

    But throughout this time, there have been nudges that kept it going. Little things read online, conversations overheard, that reminded me that this is important, somehow. 

    And now, with over an hour memorized, I am looking for venues in which to perform it. It should not have lasted this long, but it has become my senior project at Boise State University, and I’ve been in touch with prisons and churches, looking for venues. 

    This has yet to be performed in public. But that it has lasted so long, and continues to grow as a project, is remarkable. Somehow it has stayed alive. This Substack is meant to be a documentary of where this project goes from here.
