High strangeness, whacky weirdness, spooky-action-at-a-distance sort of thing, huh?

Re: The Rush To Be Right
I am certainly uncertain about now.
Ah, that's better. Now I'm certain again.
(Here's another fine mess I've gotten me into...)

Re: The Rush To Be Right
For the American audience...
I find it quite appropriate all the double entendre available regarding the words in the title.
And as long as attitudes as such prevail...odd are status quo will continue until the 'bough breaks....
While I am at it I must also remind us all that it can bend quite far and swing right back and not be the worse for wear...nothing a little medication won't take care of anyway...
Oops now I've gone to far out on that limb'....

Re: The Rush To Be Right
sg,
Do you do ballet? Do you watch the American version of Strictly Come Dancing? The British one just finished; won as last year by a cricketer but this time with Karen Hardy. Don't know it she does the American one.
Bit off topic this, isn't it?

I suppose that depends...do "you" just ballet? Or do "you" rush to do ballet right?
Or is ballet a rush for you?  <<twitch>> Right?
Has anyone looked to see if the ballet slippers are alive or dead?

Re: The Rush To Be Right
I am personally kind of surprised that nobody has brought up the obvious tie in with the thread title to the OT story of Moses...after all it starts out in the "bull" rushes, with baby Moses drifing along the river bank in a rush basket woven by his mother Joshebel. Found there by an Egyptian princess, he is adopted by her and is made a prince of the royal house...you all know the rest. And there is no doubt that this myth is one of the "right" stories of the OT, for it sets up the opening act of the entire saga of the ongoing quest for freedom of Judean-Christian peoples over the millenia.
There also seems to be a tie in with Dauer's choice of material in the story being analyzed in the interfaith textual thread. After all the object lesson in it seems to be that those who have the attribute of "softness" as does a reed (bullrush) have better odds of survival in hostile environments.
Rigid plants like cedars which are in the mountains in present day Lebanon have the tendency to snap off in high winds, while the rivers of rushes ripple and sway with wavelike precision with the winds in the river deltas and marshy areas of the middle east. The analogy of people as plants is also a common thread in many biblical story motifs.
Just thinking out loud.
flow....
