"Pipe". This sort? [image: Inline image 1]
15 years after quitting a 25 year cigarette habit I was very tempted to take up a pipe (again) when a friend gave me a very nice briar and a can of top unscented Virginia. I didn't, though. Tell me why I shouldn't take it up again. I have to say that the art (for art it is) of pipe smoking, with good briar and good Virginia, must be one of the most pleasant sensory pleasures granted to man. (Well, perhaps after *that* and *that*). I stoutly maintain that pipe smoking (good briar, no damned scented tobacco) is very Rivendellian. (Expensive and arcane. Juuuuuust kidding.)

Where is there a place for you to be? No place.* * "Nothing outside you can give you any place," he said. "You needn't to look at the sky because it's not going to open up and show no place behind it. You needn't to search for any hole in the ground to look through into somewhere else. You can't go neither forwards nor backwards into your daddy's time nor your children's if you have them. In yourself right now is all the place you've got. If there was any Fall, look there, if there was any Redemption, look there, and if you expect any Judgment, look there, because they all three will have to be in your time and your body and where in your time and your body can they be?* * "Where in your time and your body has Jesus redeemed you?" he cried. "Show me where because I don't see the place. If there was a place where Jesus had redeemed you that would be the place for you to be, but which of you can find it?” -- *Flannery O'Connor,* Wise Blood * -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
