These Things

Here are two things that have caught my attention today:

The first is an article about a Nigerian Jesuit priest, who has written a collection of fictional stories about life in Africa, and is rapidly drawing the attention of literary critics. I found his description of the use of Ignatian excercises as being similar to how he writes fiction to be quite fascinating. The article "Channeling the voices of Africa's Lost Children" is definitely worth the read.

The second is this unique, kitchsy, cheesy location in California, which I now have an odd desire to visit. You can find "Salvation Mountain" here.
