Last night Joan of Arcadia took my breath away. In this episode she finds out that she has lyme disease, which can cause hallucinations, and therefore all the times God spoke to her were just her mind. It wasn't real, and therefore neither is God. She has a crisis of faith. This is only my second time seeing the program, but I like it now and will have to watch next week to see what happens.
[Later edit: This was the episode titled "Silence," and where the name of my blog came from. Here's that information:
The song Stumbling To Bethlehem was played at the end of the last episode of season one of Joan of Arcadia (since cancelled). The episode was titled Silence.
Here's a news article on Patti Scialfa's album 23rd Street Lullaby, where the song Stumbling to Bethlehem appears.
Ms. Scialfa no doubt drew inspiration for this song from Y.B. Yeats' poem The Second Coming. The end of the poem reads, "And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?"]
