expectations

Of all the detrimental human inventions, expectation is possibly one of the worst. It is expectation that fathers disappointment, angers and saddens us.

it seems the creative juices are flowing again

The Greatest enemy any of us will face,

Is not one who treats us with malice,

Not those who's wish is to destroy or maim,

Nor the injust against whom we proclaim.

The Greatest enemy any of us will face,

Is the one who knows us in every case,

The one who takes control of your mind,

Is the enemy who is least kind.

The Greatest enemy any of us will face,

Was actually given to us by grace,

The mind of one is a great treasure,

But also an enemy of greatest measure.

First poem I've written for a while!

Ill news

My heart drops,
I feel faint
These words bring despair

That sense of falling,
Completely hopeless
You can't stop the fear

A secret desire
About to be
Destroyed forever

Where to go
Forget desire
Pretend not to care

Only God knows
These inner thoughts
Woes never shared

♫♪♫ song to share!! ♫♪♫

So you know how you can hear a song one hundred times, but on that one hundred and first time you really listen and are blown away by the power of it. The song, So in this Hour by Rocket Summer really spoke to me today as I pondered life and became saturated by the inundation of rain we experienced! So now I am sharing this jewel of a song with you all.
Enjoy

So long before
You've stood so long
At my door
Abundantly you have asked
Have you received?
Is this everything that you've hoped for?
Is this everything you've dreamed?
Well I'm not sure
if I don't really mean it
Life and history
Repeat and I
Will see visions vividly
Of how everything will end the same
Is this everything that you've hoped for?
Is this everything you've dreamed?
Well I want it to be
if the real point is seen
So in this hour
Everything I do
Will be all for this moment
Everything's for you
My heart is open
And willing
So take it
(Get up, get up, get up)
So much feeling oh my soul is singing
And everybody feels the same
Is this everything that you've hoped for?
Is this everything you've dreamed?
I think it is
if the real point is seen
So in this hour
Everything I do
Will be all for this moment
Everything's for you
My heart is open
And willing
So take it
Stay in place
When there are so Many things to say
I wanna help and not just hesitate
But I just don't
But I just don't
So please take my life And use it
I'm ready
Oh oh, oh oh, ohhh
Oh oh, oh oh, ohhh
Oh oh, oh oh, ohhh
Oh oh, oh oh, ohhh
Oh oh, oh oh, ohhh
Oh oh, oh oh, ohhh

my map has run out!

So Im currently in this funny place. My map for life, namely the education system, is just about to run out of pages, and Im a little scared about what I shall do next year....its an interesting place to be in...because every now and then I remember that I dont know what Im doing next year and have a mini freak out. On the other hand I am happy and content with life so I cannot really be bothered worrying!!

Anyway I really need not worry because the real map for my life will never run out coz it was made at my conception!

Jubilant

So Ive drafted about seven point four blogs in the last couple of weeks and never really got to the posting point! That ends today! Ima gonna keep it short and sweet but I just have a couple of things to say.

Firstly reading my book on the train this chilly morning I stumbled upon yet another great quote. Paul Hoffman writes "no one of real intelligence will accept anythng just because some authority declares it to be so, dont accept the truth of anything you have not confirmed for yourself"
I like this because it addresses a key issue in today's society. Too many people take what they hear, from adds or the grapevine as fact, without taking the time to investigate its validity. I for one like to know things for myself, and believe that those who do take the time to investigate will improve overall society, and perhaps improve quality of life!

Finally on a far happier note, a good friend of mine has a favourite word, namely 'jubilant'. Jubilant means showing and expressing triumphant joy. I love this word, and am working toward showing jubilation in everyday, because lets face it, we've been given an incredible blessing in this life!

writers' block

Over the last week or so since I last blogged Ive started about six blogs and published niente! I thought perhaps I had a variation of writers' block, until I realised that considerations is just me publishing my thoughts in an orderly fashion...I certainly havent stopped thinking :P I think perhaps I have been considering my considerations and not posting things that I dont think I should say....very unlike me really!

To that end I have ridded myself of this kind of thinking and am back on track!

I am so incredibly tired....I think I need a break...thankfully CLW is next week and guess who has a week away from everything!! I DO I DO!! to top it off I was lucky enough to be asked to join the band, so baring any throat worries, Ill be given the honour of helping our campers worship. Worship is my favourite thing....so totally pumped!!

Anyway Id best start my dreary work day
peace out
