I listened to the Sunday programme on Radio 4 today as I often do, and was particularly interested in what Stephen Cave had to say in a discussion about resurrection and immortality. The four routes to immortality he speaks of are routes that have perhaps occurred to all of us during our lives and we may hold firm beliefs in the matter. On this Easter Day, when I like to think that we can all renew our efforts to transform our lives for the good, Stephen Cave's look at Immortality: The Quest to Live Forever and How it Drives Civilization may be a book to consider putting onto our reading lists.

The trouble is I went to church on Easter Sunday
The trouble is I went to church on Easter Sunday. The nice young couple who used to live near me invited me to go and I was tempted by the prospect of meeting people. 'She' picked me up and took me there and brought me back afterwards, but it was really all too much for me. I was desperately tired and in excruciating pain - pain made so much more intense by the unforgiving hardness of the floor to walk and stand on, and the hardness of the pew to sit on. I've been in a really, really bad way since. - When they ask me again, as they surely will, I must regretfully decline and follow my own sensible advice to listen to what my body is telling me and not stick out the torture for the sake of politeness.
