I’ve always thought that it was like a fresh croissant: freezing it destroys the texture and flavour of it. He doesn’t need me to record anything. He can say it again anytime he pleases. I will never trade his voice for the recollection of it. I aim to stay tuned, to stay tuned all the time. And I’m left thinking: Give us this hour our daily croissant?

Off topic, but you are either really awesome or really crazy for going back and adding all those comments onto my blog. Thanks, yo!
Also, I went back and deleted some posts (or made them private). Damn, it's kind of awkward seeing some of the things I've written over the years.
Much love,
Dan
Neither, alas! I was just bored out of my mind at 5am and could not sleep. I'll keep doing that for the next few weeks, but I won't be able to make it my first priority, unfortunately.
Hope everything's going great where you are (also I need to write to Robin). I can't wait to getting back to "normal" life once this crazy dissertation time-crunch is over.

Oh, and Dan... pluck your new blog for accents and apostrophes and the like. I'm likely to be writing a review article for a major social science journal about Shane Claiborne and the new monasticism.
I'm framing you and Mark van Steenwyk as two of the most important voices in that subfield.
Perhaps Mark, but I'm not even living in any sort of intentional community, so I don't think I qualify for anything that would be considered 'new' monastic, or whatever. Still, I'm flattered that you thought of me.
Oh, and I'm still trying to figure out this accent/quotations/apostrophe thing. Seems like the only way I can fix that is by going through each post individually... which is a major pain in the ass.
I hear ya about crunch time. I want to be done by Christmas... but the time is flying by and I haven't even started writing yet (and still have about another 50 sources I'd like to look through... but I guess I've got to draw the line somewhere... dammit).
I won't restrict my review to the new monasticism though, maybe I should have been clearer: it's the broad communitarian anarchism, the wacky view of the nation-state, the ever-present Christian eschatology, the communities of discipleship and the hands-on solidarity that I'm interested in, not so much people's living arrangements, though they are certainly worth a mention.
The best thing is that I didn't even need to lobby for an opportunity to write an article. Shane's book got on their radar and they were asking for reviewers. It' be so cool to translate all of that stuff for non-theologians. Let's see what the review editor says.
Good luck with the thesis. Mine is bloody killing me.
