The end is nigh or a cup of tea (with or without sugar?) Hmm…. Don’t know about thought crystalisation.. looks more like you’ve found the mine shaft and don’t know which jewels to dig for !! Will look forward to finding out !

Crumbs, just reading some of the possibilities makes me feel very torn: and I’m not doing your area, lol! I wonder about looking at hymnody and combining it with social justice – thinking perhaps of negro spirituals and the coded language in them concerning not only the ‘not yet’ of escaping from the hardships of this life, but the ‘now’ of actually escaping from slavery. And perhaps linking it to the speeches of Martin Luther King – thinking of the famous ‘I have a dream’ speech. An escatology of liberation in music and speech… dunno. But it’s got me thinking that somewhere in there would be a fun paper to write
Oddly I’ve been thinking of now and not yet in another context re. the CofS ‘moratorium. The air is awash with thoughts of the eschaton… or some such! Look forward to hearing you chat through your thoughts as they develop – exciting stuff
