it's not that life is perfect

it's that i -
in my selfishness,
in my sinfulness,
in my humanness
stop
expecting
it
to
be.

it ()will() never be.
it -can never- be.

no matter what perfection you predicate of Him

you have to add that your concept is only a pale analogy of the perfection that is in God, and that He is not literally what you conceive by that term.

algunos días - * - - * - * - - * -

miercoles:

"how many are my foes, Lord! how many rise against me! how many say of me, 'God will not save that one.' but you, Lord, are a shield around me; my glory, you keep my head high." psalm 3: 2-4



jueves:

i only wish you could see what i see when i look at you.
you are amazing.
-kobi yamada


viernes:

maybe i know, somewhere
deep in my soul
that love never lasts
and we've got to find other ways
to make it alone
keep a straight face

and i've always lived like this
keeping a comfortable, distance
and up until now

i had sworn to myself that i'm
content with loneliness

because none of it was ever worth the risk

well, You, are, the only exception

*p*a*r*a*m*o*r*e*



sabado:

prayer of saint francis



domingo:

flirting with disaster

pushing up on the wrong
placing faith in the bad
slinking round and round and round till your heads dizzy

"once upon a time --"

"when was that?"

"all time is at once. a long time ago and right now."

"both?"

"yes, always both."


"how can it be both?"

"do you want me to tell this story or not?"


"yeah..."

you know the Wright boys designed planes - must have been a long time between trains




i'm waitin' at the station
i can choose my destination
i'm a free soul, i got no chains
but it's a long time between trains

we can travel to Spain where the rain falls...

While everybody else is getting out of bed
I’m usually getting in it

I’m not in it to win it
And there’s a thousand ways you can skin it
My feet have been on the floor
Flat like an idle singer
Remember winger
I digress

***I confess you are the best thing in my life***

But I’m afraid when I hear stories
About a --->>husband and wife<<---
There’s no happy endings
No Henry Lee

!!!But you are the greatest thing about me!!!



If it’s love
And we decide that it’s forever
No one else could do it better
If it’s love
And we’re two birds of a feather
Then the rest is just whenever
And if I’m addicted to loving you
And you’re addicted to my love too
We can be them two birds of a feather
That flock together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, Love
That’s enough for me


Took a loan on a house I own
Can’t be a queen bee without a bee throne
I wanna buy ya everything
Except cologne
’cause it’s poison

~.~.~We can travel to Spain where the rain falls~.~.~

Mainly on the plain side and sing
’cause it is we can laugh we can sing

Have ten kids and give them everything __!__!__!__


Hold our cell phones up in the air
And just be glad we made it here alive
On a spinning ball in the middle of space
I love you from your toes to your face


You can move in
I won’t ask where you’ve been
’cause everybody has a past
When we’re older
We’ll do it all over again
When everybody else is getting out of bed
I’m usually getting in it
I’m not in it to win it
I’m in it for you


If it’s love
And we’re two birds of a feather
Then the rest is just whenever
Then the rest is just whenever


If it’s love
And we decide that it’s forever
No one else could do it better
And if I’m addicted to loving you
And you’re addicted to my love too
We can be them two birds of a feather
That flock together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, love
That’s enough for me


Train: "If It's Love"

. . . f . . . a . . . i . . . t . . . h . . .

faith is not blind conformity to a prejudice - a "pre-judgement." it is a decision, a judgement that is fully and deliberately taken in the light of a truth that cannot be proven.

you've gotta swim

you've gotta swim
swim for your life
swim for the music
that saves you
when you're not so sure you'll survive
you gotta swim
and swim when it hurts
the whole world is watching
you haven't come this far
to fall off the earth
the currents will pull you
away from your love
just keep your head above

i found a tidal wave
begging to tear down the dawn
memories like bullets
they fired at me from a gun
a crack in the armor
i swim to brighter days
despite the absence of sun
choking on salt water
i'm not giving in
i swim
