I have been reading a lot of the Bible recently. Specifically John 1, Ecclesiastes, and Job. Mostly using the KJV audiobooks on Youtube. Job is still mostly opaque to me, especially since it is so long and I keep losing focus near the end. John 1 is beautiful and speaks to me much more than the Paul stuff. I really would like to read more of John's words, but alas they are lost in the wind.

But Ecclesiastes stays with me, resonates in my mind and ear. (1:2) "Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity." It is, at first glance, nihilistic, but at another, humbling (2:16) "And how dieth the wise man? as the fool."
