Ho Hey

The holidays are approaching...

I don't want a lot for Christmas... I don't need to hang my stocking...there upon the fireplace. Santa Claus won't make me happy...

Oh the weather outside is frightful... But the fire is so delightful! And since we've no place to go, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

The holidays are about reflection. It's the time of year where things majestically near reach perfection.

Every year is so vastly different... What life will be like when consistency reaches the year long......sometimes I feel I'll never know.

Patience

Some of us have been momentarily wrenched by the sound of a train whistle spilling into the night air, and we have been inexplicably subdued by the mix of feelings that this evokes. Or perhaps we have been beckoned by a lighted cottage across a snow-covered meadow at dusk. Or we have heard the warm and drawing laughter of children at a nearby playground. Or we have been tugged at by the strains of congregational singing from a nearby church. Or we have encountered a particular fragrance which has awakened memories deep within us of things which once were. In such moments, we have felt a deep yearning, as if we were temporarily outside of something to which we actually belonged and of which we so much wanted again to be a part.

Dating is an interesting game. I've felt heartbroken before. It's familiar. With each one, I've realized how grateful I am for the experiences I had with them. Each boy has taken a part of me but leaves several things new. Rob was exactly what I needed for exactly that time. Love is such a beautiful thing.

The Art

Unbelievable.

I love this song.

And I came home Like a stone And I fell heavy into your arms These days of dust Which we've known Will blow away with this new sun

And I'll kneel down Wait for now And I'll kneel down Know my ground

And I will wait, I will wait for you And I will wait, I will wait for you

So break my step And relent You forgave and I won't forget Know what we've seen And him with less Now in some way Shake the excess

But I will wait, I will wait for you And I will wait, I will wait for you And I will wait, I will wait for you And I will wait, I will wait for you

So I'll be bold As well as strong And use my head alongside my heart So take my flesh And fix my eyes That tethered mind free from the lies

But I'll kneel down Wait for now I'll kneel down Know my ground

Raise my hands Paint my spirit gold And bow my head Keep my heart slow

Cause I will wait, I will wait for you And I will wait, I will wait for you And I will wait, I will wait for you And I will wait, I will wait for you

I need these.

The Paper Kites

WAKE UP TO THE SOUND OF YOUR FLEETING HEART. WAKE UP TO THE SOUND OF YOUR FLEETING HEART. WHEN YOU GO, WHAT YOU LEAVE IS A WORK OF ART. ON MY CHEST ... ON MY HEART.

Who the hell am I?

All I could think about was that when I wrote the title it would need to be in AP style. No caps except for proper nouns. Is hell a proper noun? Or is that an entirely different religious discussion?

Sometimes I have no idea who the hell I am. I identify with so many different aspects of life.

My friend told me--some people just don't see the magic. You gotta show them the magic.

I'm not sure I have the energy to live like I want to most days.

Wake up to the sound of your fleeting heart...according to the Paper Kites, when you go, if you leave, it should be a work of art, on someone's chest, on their heart.

In The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida it says,

"You will have to face the basic discomfort and dissatisfaction that is the hidden texture of your life. You will be alive with the challenge of living your truth, rather than hiding from it. By putting all your attention into work, TV, sex, and reading, your suffering remains impenetrated, and the source remains hidden. Your life becomes structured entirely by your favorite means of sidestepping the suffering you rarely allow yourself to feel. And when you do touch the surface of your suffering, perhaps in the form of boredom, you quickly pick up a magazine or the remote control."

That's good stuff. Amen.

"It is more difficult to love than to die. It is not death that human beings are most afraid of, it is love."

Jumped this guy...

Went under this guy...

Ignored this guy...

Youth

This song is amazing.

Shadows settle on the place, that you left.
Our minds are troubled by the emptiness.
Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time.
From the perfect start to the finish line.

And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs.
Setting fire to our insides for fun
Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong
The lovers that went wrong.

We are the reckless,
We are the wild youth
Chasing visions of our futures
One day we'll reveal the truth
That one will die before he gets there.

And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone.
We're setting fire to our insides for fun.
Collecting pictures from the flood that wrecked our home,
It was a flood that wrecked this...

... and you caused it...
... and you caused it...
... and you caused it...

Well I've lost it all, I'm just a silouhette,
A lifeless face that you'll soon forget,
My eyes ae damp from the words you left,
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.

And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one,
'Cause most of us are bitter over someone.
Setting fire to our insides for fun,
To distract our hearts from ever missing them.
But I'm forever missing him.

And you caused it,
And you caused it,
And you caused it

Depression Spoof

Slowly, my feelings started to shrivel up. The few that managed to survive the constant beatings staggered around like wounded baby deer, just biding their time until they could die and join all the other carcasses strewn across the wasteland of my soul.

Hilarious.

A Good Run

Let God take your mistake, and make a beautiful thing out of it.




You are among the whole hearted.

Pop Addictions

Maybe it's the fitness instructor in me--and the BPM appeal, but I'm liking this. Especially the first few seconds...

What Women Ought to be Reminded of

Never let a man make you feel weak or inferior because you are an emotional being. Emotion is good; it is nothing to be ashamed of. Emotion makes us better – so long as it remains in it’s proper place: subject to truth and reason.

To Risk

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,

To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.

To reach out to another is to risk involvement,

To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.

To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.

To love is to risk not being loved in return,

To live is to risk dying,

To hope is to risk despair,

To try is to risk failure.

But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.

He may avoid suffering and sorrow,

But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live.

Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom.

Only a person who risks is free.

The pessimist complains about the wind;

The optimist expects it to change;

And the realist adjusts the sails.

-William Arthur Ward

Yes We Can

It's been four years. Can we?

The LDS Church is encouraging members to speak up politically. It's not time to give up.

This video went viral in 2008--In my lifetime, I don't think there has ever been such a pull for one candidate. This was produced solely by supporters. Obama's campaign played no role.

Proverbs and Pictures

"She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come... Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” – Proverbs 31:25-31
