like the Seven Pillars of Islam (quiz: can you name all seven? in Arabic? i can't.), there exist the Nine Literary Pillars of Dan. except now it's Ten. without further ado, i give you one of the vital pieces of me:
Frederick Buechner's Speak What We Feel, Not What We Ought To Say.
yeah. it's about Chesterton, Shakespeare, Twain, and Hopkins. it's not cute, and sometimes it's harsh, but it is enduring and ultimately beautiful. it's one of those handy, necessary texts for navigating deep and unknown waters.
