I don't always understand DBH's words (as eloquent as it is - but it's good because it gives me the chance to improve and expand my command of language, as Cantonese is my first language), so sometimes I lurk in the comments for more insight into certain things, and I came across the mention of this project by DBH last night when I was googling about the Eucharist, so here I am. Even though I know I'm not that bright, I wish to learn more on here from DBH and others (also a big fan of Japanese aesthetics - and asian culture in general as I'm from Hong Kong - so I'm looking forward to content about that), and in turn, I hope to share what I've gained to my close friends and others (like those in my uni's Chinese Christian fellowship). This is my first "online blog community", and I'm still quite new to this, but I'm really looking forward to it. DBH, if you read this, I want to express my sincerest appreciation, and extend a big Thank you for helping me to better understand and appreciate the beauty of God's goodness and tie up some loose ends for me (that truly brought me a lot of joy and peace - and I wish more people would experience something similar). Quick question: Have you ever considered something like a YouTube live Q&A session hosted, where people can ask questions on there or maybe even send in super chats? Would love to talk to you about sushi, anime, and other things haha. Anyway, have a good day!

Wonderful interview, thank you. Is the lecture/ paper you gave (missed by Peter!) available at all?

It doesn't sound like a metal tube; it sounds either like your head is wrapped in cheesecloth or like you are recovering from a sinus infection and need to do a neti pot with tea tree oil. Why doesn't the interviewer sound like that?

But nevertheless, it's kind of cool the way the Beauty of the Infinite and Roland are like "bookmarks." To me, they bookmark your theology, which has influenced my entire worldview. Every time I write a homily now, I hear your "voice" in the background.

First, your uncle’s poetry was the most delightful part of Roland, which was an astounding book. Second, do you think Nabokov was a great poet? I loved Pale Fire. Thirdly, who is your favorite poet? My feelings will not be hurt if you do not respond. I love your writings, especially the more literary. Just keep writing.

Metal tube? That's some expensive paper towel or wrapping paper. Nice.

Very fruitful, and also a good introduction. Shareable, and shared.
