Imperfect World ~

"I don't know why God made an imperfect world. We certainly see that imperfection every day and in every way. It's almost too much to bear some days. But recognizing that there's an essentially tragic nature to life, one that you have to forgive and accept in a foundational way, allows you to forgive the smaller daily dramas with much greater ease. As much as we want to see the person who hurt us as an evil person—as if they were a major exception to the rule, since we have falsely imagined a perfect world—we need to realize that we're all an exception to the rule of perfection and expectation. Humans are inherently imperfect. That is what differentiates us from the Divine level.

Surely people have hurt you and you wish you could punish them, but whether you recognize it or not, you yourself were forgiven when you also were broken and mistaken. All, without exception, live under the waterfall of divine mercy. There is, of course, an essential and direct connection between our receptivity to undeserved love and forgiveness and our ability to forgive other imperfect people. There is not much point in weighing which fault was the greater; that is merely the ego protecting itself. When you understand your own limited but lovely place within this universally imperfect world, you will find it almost natural to become more patient and forgiving with other people too."

A Gift ~

“And when we give each other Christmas gifts in His name, let us remember that He has given us the sun and the moon and the stars, and the earth with its forests and mountains and oceans--and all that lives and move upon them. He has given us all green things and everything that blossoms and bears fruit and all that we quarrel about and all that we have misused--and to save us from our foolishness, from all our sins, He came down to earth and gave us Himself.” ― Sigrid Undset

A Son ~

Build me a son, O Lord,
who will be strong enough to know when he is weak,
and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid,
one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat,
and humble and gentle in victory.

Trust ~

“Without trust, there can be no genuine peace. Neither in politics, nor in the quiet individuality of the heart and spirit.”  

I stand tall to get by ~

My love, we have seen it all
The endless confession, the rise and fall
As fragile as a child
But lately I'm sorry I can't hold a smile

But I stand tall to get by
No matter how hard I try to hide

Did you know I take the time for you?
Did you know that I would see you through?
Did you know that I would play the part?
I must've made it clear right from the start

My love, can you give me strength?
Somehow I forgot how to ease my pain
I know I'm right where I belong
Something from nothing never proved me wrong

But I stand tall to get by
No matter how hard I try to hide

Did you know I take the time for you?
Did you know that I would see you through?
Did you know that I would play the part?
I must've made it clear right from the start

I would share my whole life with you
Would you do the same for me?
I would give all I am to you
Would you do the same for me?

And I will stand tall to get by
No matter how hard I try to hide
Could you see I've been brave?
Did you notice all my mistakes?
There were times I could feel you read my mind

Did you know I take the time for you?
Did you know that I could see right through?
Did you know that I would play the part?
I know I made it clear right from the start ~

I said Goodbye to Jacob this week !

I Loved You before I Knew YOU ~

Lyrics to I Knew I Loved You I knew I loved you
Before I knew you
The hands of time
Would lead me to you
An evening star
Was from afar
It guided me here
It knew you'd be here
Now wrapped in moonlight
At last together
Here in the incandescent glow
We are all we need to know
As we softly please each other
'Til the stars and shadow glow
And we sleep
With our dreams around us.
Oooohhhh ahhh
Ooohhhh oh yeahhh
It guided me
It knew you'd be here
I knew I loved you
Before I found you
I knew I'd built my world around YOU
