Australian Bushfires, Cormac McCarthy, and Job


I've spent the last few days working on a seminar paper that is a reading of Cormac McCarthy's The Road in light of the Book of Job. The task involved reading a very dark and depressing novel as well as a troubling biblical text. I finished it today at the school and thought, Well at the least the world is not as dark as McCarthy or Job seem to think; reading their struggles in the cold and dark make the world look brighter.

Then I came home to find that a my wife had been on the phone with a friend who had lost a baby and with another friend living in Australia where bushfires have killed over a 100 people, destroyed over 1ooo homes, and completely wiped out several towns and villages.

Margaret Avison, in her poem "Confrontation and Resolution, in Job," writes:

Hard-won are the words
we need to truly
converse with someone close
and yet mysterious to us.
(Avison 126)

I thought these words while I sat with my wife, unable to say them as comfort. I thought of all the words I put together carefully in my seminar. I thought afterwards of the ariel shots of the bushfires I looked up online. I read a section from McCarthy's novel again:

The days sloughed past uncounted and uncalendared. Along the interstate in the distance long lines of charred and rusting cars. The raw rims of the wheels sitting in a stiff gray sludge of melted rubber, in blackened rings of wire. The incinerate corpses shrunk to the size of a child and propped on the bare springs of the seats. Ten thousand dreams ensepulchred within their crozzled hearts. They went on. Treading the dead world under like rats on a wheel. The night dead still and deader black. So cold. They talked hardly at all. He coughed all the time and the boy watched him spitting blood. Slumping along. Filthy, ragged, hopeless. He’d stop and lean on the cart and the boy would go on and then stop and look back and he would raise his weeping eyes and see him standing there in the road looking back at him from some unimaginable future, glowing in that waste like a tabernacle." (McCarthy 273)
And, here, now, I don't want to be too dark or gloomy but I think I have to go back and rework my seminar. Because Job and McCarthy aren't just there to show us, by stark constrast, how different our world is from theirs, but how their world is our world - and that there is an incarnate presence of grace herein. McCarthy's protagonist, in the midst of a burned highway (that very well could be a description of highways in Australia), looks up at his son and sees something holy in his child. Job cried out from an ash heap, screaming "I know my Redeemer lives!" Even though his world had been destroyed.

And, curiously, I just received Comment magazine in the mail: the Signs of Hope issue. And I read the bit by Cal Seerveld: "My own hope is a plodding, quiet, steady awareness of God's providing enduring grace through thick and thin en route during my life" (25). And I'm not quite sure what to make of all this coming in a whirlwind all in a day but it has.

I think I will feel Job's gravity more tomorrow when I deliver the seminar... and, I hope, God's grace. Right now my prayers are with a grieving family close by and with those in Australia who are beyond grief.

Best on the seminar, noble sir.

Indeed, and thank you for that piece of reflection.

How did the seminar go?

Q Prentice said...

Quite well. Very sobering. It actually led into a very serious discussion of how not to lose hope and give up. If nothing else, it got people thinking about why they are here and what they are doing with their lives.

Sobering. But, I think, valuable.

Adunare said...

Wow. If you got that going that's more than I ever made happen at Mac. You're a good man Mr. Martin, and they are lucky to have you there.

Finding the right sports books and bookmakers to use for your arbitrage sports betting can be a daunting task with the internet now they are everywhere. The list of crooked bookmaking sites that have helped part people with their money and robbed them of their winnings grows longer every day. Being enlightened about this all sports bettors should do their due diligence before signing up with any bookmaker and be sure of their reputation as well as their guarantees on return of winnings. Almost all sports betting sites will have reviews so read them before making your decision on which one you go with.

They don’t build those billion dollar casinos with winner’s money! The best odds are generally a little better and a sports bettor will likely see a return of eight to ten dollars for every hundred dollars he or she bets over a long term period.

The business provides a single specific [url=http://www.hotdeal.vn/ho-chi-minh/]voucher gia re[/url] for every working day in each and every of the marketplaces it serves. The Groupon features as an assurance deal employing ThePoint's program: if a specific quantity of people indication up for the provide, then the deal turns into supplied to all if the predetermined nominal is not satisfied, no one particular distinct gets the offer that working day. This lowers threat for shops, who can just take care of the discount coupons as quantity low cost prices as nicely as earnings promotion methods. Groupon tends to make cash by striving to hold around 50 % the money the buyer pays for the coupon.

For scenario in point, an $eighty therapeutic therapeutic massage could be bought by the client for $forty through Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would split the $forty. That is, the retailer presents a massage valued at $eighty and will get approximately $twenty from Groupon for it (beneath a fifty%/fifty% break up). Or, if $240 price of home portray remedies is obtained by the customer for $fifty by implies of Groupon, then the organization gets $20 5 and Groupon retains $twenty 5. The consumer gets the massage, or the house portray solutions, in these illustrations, from the retailer for which they to get started with compensated $40 (or $fifty) to Groupon. There are specific companies to which Groupon originally did not offer you you its remedies, like getting images ranges and strip clubs nonetheless, getting photographs ranges have been showcased on Groupon.

Groupon employs a enormous amount of copywriters who draft descriptions for the bargains highlighted by e mail and on the internet internet site. Groupon's advertising and marketing textual content for the 'deals' has been observed as a contributing component to the acceptance of the web web site, showcasing a exceptional blend of in depth actuality-examining and witty humor.

Owing to Groupon's marketplace place being mainly composed of female buyers, the bargains are generally centered on the wellness, well being and health and fitness and class marketplaces.
