It was amazing to see how many phrases, thoughts and ideas Terry used in Motorcycle. Reading this book has made one of my favorite cd's come alive. (or maybe, having listened to Motorcycle made the book more enjoyable!) Listed below are all the phrases in the book that reminded me of Motorcycle: "…the angel who troubles the waters…" p 10 "…the holy dream becoming the holy face." p 11 "…Beneath the face…the people I have ever been are buried there…" p 15 "…My dear dead dear…" p 18 "…the world is ours to name…" p 26 "…The night absolves. Darkness wipes the slate clean…" p 30 "…my face is my farthest-flung frontier…" p 33 "…you read among other things your doom in your face, the failures, estrangements, betrayals and self-betrayals." p 41 "…Come unto me, I hear…" p 48 "…a congenital believer, a helpless hungerer…" p 50 "…would-be believer." p 54 "…cry from the hallway of Christ is risen…" p 55 "…or a hand I could touch…in the dark." p 58 "…to kick to pieces such a world." p 59 "…This day is our last day and our first day and our only day…" p 76 "…the air we breathe…" p 86 "…blisters in the glass…" p 91 "…a lump in the throat…the bush going up in flames…the dove coming down out of the sky." p 92 "…an incantation of longing." p 96 "…blood…of martyrs…" p 97 "…the holy dream became a holy face." p 99 "…he lives and moves and has such being…" p 103 "…some kind of hole in the world…" p 112 "…This is your first and last and only day." p 120 "…My legs are broken." p 120 "…The door is…open…place set at the table." p 130 "…Is it true, my dear dead dear?…If there’s anywhere to be now, you must be there. If there’s anything to know now wherever you are, then you must know it." p 140 Read the book and hear the cd! 04-19-2003 17:52 anne A Hot Wolly Registration Date: 03-13-2002 Posts: 490 Location: loveland motorcycle was the first DA cd i ever bought. i was very intrigued by the lyrics, so when i noticed a reference to some guy named "buechner" in the liner notes, i went out and bought a copy of the alphabet of grace. ...it was so exactly what i needed to hear at that point in my life (if ya know what i mean), i couldn't believe it. so motorcycle & the alphabet of grace are near and dear to my heart 04-19-2003 18:08 Steve H Dark Steamy Cabbage Registration Date: 04-14-2002 Posts: 10 Thread Starter Motorcycle contains some really great theology, deep thinking and a desire to see the holy in the everyday humdrum of life. "My Frontier" is especially steeped in Buechner's Alphabet of Grace as well as "Hole in the World" and "What's Come Over Me". 04-20-2003 13:42 Dr Rich Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 03-15-2002 Posts: 9,986 Location: Hoverkrafti im është plot me ngjala. quote: Originally posted by anne motorcycle was the first DA cd i ever bought. i was very intrigued by the lyrics, so when i noticed a reference to some guy named "buechner" in the liner notes, i went out and bought a copy of the alphabet of grace. ...it was so exactly what i needed to hear at that point in my life (if ya know what i mean), i couldn't believe it. so motorcycle & the alphabet of grace are near and dear to my heart at the church we go to they quote buechner a lot, whiich made me think that this may be the church for me!
