Synopsis "Recess Time: When Mind Gets to Play With Memory and Imagination (in English)"
This eloquent collection of 13 loosely connected essays covers topics from God to gifts, with plenty of help along the way from Einstein, Chopin, Picasso, and even the great Ringling clown Lou Jacobs. The author's 80 years of memories--from priestly ministry as a former Jesuit, professional acting, and over two decades of circus performance--visit this playful jaunt, as connections are made bearing on the art of life itself. Nick Weber brings an inquisitive and disciplined mind to this often festive romp through recall and celebration."Nick Weber has shown that even the sacred is potentially humorous." --Daniel Kendall, S.J., Professor of Theology, University of San Francisco, CA"Words that are dense but accessible, strident but poetic, completely authentic." --Judith Gillespie, Chair, Theology Department, Divine Savior Holy Angels High School, Milwaukee, WI"A primer for any person serious about becoming." --Carlo Pellegrini, Co-founder, Amazing Grace Circus, circus producer, director, choreographer, Nyack, NY
