redbrick commented on: rejoicing by redbrick 1 year 2 weeks* ago* That image of being “the: That image of being “the body burned to heat the hearth” is definitely unsettling, but it actually gets at something real: joy isn’t free. Harvest joy always costs something like grain has to be threshed, grapes crushed, wood consumed so that bread, wine, and warmth can exist. The fire in Rejoicing isn’t about destruction but about transformation: what’s given up becomes light, heat, and song for everyone gathered. It’s a reminder that celebration is born out of offering, and that what feels spent can return as shared gladness. [ go to comment ]

karlmcallister commented on: silence of the scroll by redbrick 1 year 2 weeks* ago* the silence itself is the script: the silence itself is the script... Buddhist? Thanks for helping me hear the silence. The funny thing is ... had you not said, or rather written the words, would I have still heard it? Peace [ go to comment ]
redbrick commented on: i was homeless once by redbrick 1 year 2 weeks* ago* Thank you for bringing both: Thank you for bringing both conviction and close reading here. I share your sense that homelessness in wealthy societies is less about resources than will, and your naming of hyper‑individualism as tyranny sharpens that truth. I’m glad that the hinge between physical and emotional exile spoke to you, that your pause on “Marble floors echo louder than alleys” felt like the loop closing. I am so grateful to you.

redbrick commented on: CHAPTER 4 by Pungus 1 year 2 weeks* ago* The jester’s chant, the: The jester’s chant, the dragons, the stage, all circling around themes of illusion, temptation, and emptiness like a surreal carnival. I especially felt the tension between humor and dread, and the way the final image leaves the speaker undone. It’s unsettling, but in a way that lingers like a dream you can’t quite shake.
