Being
Don't you know I've always loved you?
Even before there was time.
Don't you know I've always loved you?
And I always will
~ Third Day
This is crazy.
There is so much power flowing around moving and pushing.
There is so much tension, struggle and war.
It pushes forth from a single word, a single gesture a single espression.
And the world is new.
And I sit here, being painfully aware and yet unaware.
Being instrumental and being acted upon at the same time.
But all in all, being utterly helpless and swept up in this immense tide of change.
Move me.

Dogma
Watch the movie.
It's good, in a twisted pomo way.
The point doesn't lie in the surface, but the context.
Walking
maybe, Just maybe i'd live better if I kept my feet on solid ground rather than in my mouth.
Man
One who would scream "shut up! Shut up! Just shut up!" In the middle of a silent study area before leaping on the table to rip of his clothes,
I'd say it was $20 well spent.

In the name of Love
One man come in the name of Love
One man come and go
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love.
I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but not have love,
I am nothing
If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flame, but have not love,
I gain nothing
One man come, he to justify
One man to over-throw.
~U2 Pride, 1 Corinthians 13
It's not about how much you know, or how right one is.
Sure it's important to get the facts right, but if you can't handle the person in love, then nothing's accomplished.
Sure it's important to speak for the truth, but if you can't package your argument in love, then it's pointless.
So sometimes in winning an argument,
By straightening the ideology,
By uncovering flaws, shortcomings, misconceptions and lack of understanding,
By proving your point,
You move in the opposite direction into pointlessness, push the person away bit by bit, create little walls.
All for the sake of a sense of personal accomplishment.
It's always about the people. the heart. the human.
Not about you and your pride,
Or how right and truth-seeking you are.
But about the people.
I have to learn to move in love and not in pride
For God shares his glory with no man.
What more in the name of Love?

Sing sing sing
"or the life that you bring won't mean a thing"
...it's a gift... a god-given talent...
and I've lost it all.
"We will definately miss your voice."
I miss it too.
When quietness gives way to silence...
... and peace to nothingness...
... and clam to stagnation...
that's the beginning of ceasation and the birth of inexistance.
... the end of being and the death of essence.
That's not quiet what it's meant to be, and the danger of it all is that the line between these concepts are almost invisible. But the difference between them is polaric.
For the Love of God.
