A bug bite on my left hand
-has left me itchy.
On a brighter note, listening to Feist’s newest album (Aclled Metals) made me realize that the works of an artist are the transparency of their mind and it’s constantly moving; not that they are abandoning their first skin but building layers on top of that. To project those visions, not only to expand the minds of the viewers but to illustrate their own...
You Never Marry the Right Person
How our culture misunderstands compatibility.
In generations past, there was far less talk about “compatibility” and finding the ideal soul-mate. Today we are looking for someone who accepts us as we are and fulfills our desires, and this creates an unrealistic set of expectations that frustrates both the searchers and the searched for.
In John Tierney’s classic humor article “Picky, Picky,...

it may sound irresponsible of me, but “i have no idea” is the gist of this story. you throw a stone into a deep pond. splash. the sound is big and it reverberates throughout the surrounding area. what comes out of the pond after that? all we can do is stare at the pond, holding out breath.

parachute epiphanies: art is always interpreted.... →
paulyhchoi:
art is always interpreted. and people interpret things in all sorts of ways, sometimes even making it out to be something completely irrelevant to the creator’s intentions for their creation. and to its recipients, their own interpretation, their own opinion, may be more important to them than the original blueprint. yet, no matter how strongly people may try to project their own...

Your attempts to get closer to God are the very things that alienate you from grace. The attempt itself negates the fact that you are already 100 percent connected to Him. John Crowder

Insightful conversations with diverse individuals are like refinement to my thoughts.
been hearing this more than usual these days;
If digging deeper into the spirit makes me weird, then so be it.
Saints, Sinners, & Sex
This is from something I read from a year ago, and I found it again. Enjoy:
Many Christians still think they have evil desires when they don’t. It doesn’t mean you can’t think bad things on your own or that every bad thought is a devil, you still have to manage your thoughts and take every thought captive. But your nature is to have a mind that is set on the things above, because you have the...

Writing is a lot like
Riding a bike
It’s something you can pick up and play with,
You never forget it,
Despite how much time
Has passed by.
So when I’m writing
I’m actually riding
Along the white pavement
Of Blank pages
Letting my pen make its own path
Black-ink skid marks on newly paved driveways.
As a kid, I could ride for days
And now I write in exactly the same way.

the church is.
to hell with your individualism.
I dreamed I kissed your feet Between the cigarette butts On the side of fourteenth street I got down on my hands and my knees With an alabaster jar I dreamed I’d bleed with your praises Just to make the world Smell like your grace again I got down on my hands and my knees again And I’m crawling on the floor Just to find you now To tell you how I feel I’m falling all over myself...
