One poem in my top three

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

~W.B. Yeats

I like finding gold

Isaiah 55

"Come, everyone who thirsts,
come to the waters;
and he who has no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price.
Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread,
and your labor for that which does not satisfy?
Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,
and delight yourselves in rich food.

Incline your ear, and come to me;
hear, that your soul may live;
and I will make with you an everlasting covenant,
my steadfast, sure love for(G) David.
Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples,
a leader and commander for the peoples.
Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know,
and a nation that did not know you shall run to you,
because of the LORD your God, and of the Holy One of Israel,
for he has glorified you.

"Seek the LORD while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near;
let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the LORD, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

"For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

"For you shall go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and the hills before you
shall break forth into singing,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress;
instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle;
and it shall make a name for the LORD,
an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off."

"My body, this lean carrion that still has to be washed and fed and have clothes hung about it daily with so many changes, they may kill as soon as they please."

-Third sentence in from "Till We Have Faces"

Praise be to the Victorious One, He who has conquered death, with love and not justice—He who has set Justice at the feet of Love and have blessed both with a child named Glory.

Oh Praise Him.

Let all things their Creator bless,
and worship him in humbleness,
O praise him, Alleluia!
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son,
and praise the Spirit, Three in One

I've been

writing poems a lot. Trying to churn them out of me. Just pour them out and write and write and write. I want to get one hundred.
Pray for me friends, for my days are always weary.

Ideas, forces and inspiration



I thought above said video was brilliantly made. What creative things do I have to say?

Not much I guess. I'm getting involved in the school I find myself in.

I'm afraid, not out of fear, but out of respect and genuine knowledge of, powers I'm ignorant of.
Not a lot is worse than forgetting, or unknowingly ignoring, excluding and naively underestimating a power that holds great force and weight in one's life. Ideally I would most certainly like to safeguard myself against such dangers, however I know that I go through my day paying little attention to the silent, subtle yet grave threats to my well being. I really should compile a list, not so much to cultivate a nature of fear within me, but to encourage a nature of wariness, preparedness and diligence in my spiritual, intellect, emotional, physical and external self.

I like colors, different, varying colors and the effects they wreak upon me and others. Symbols and language too are particularly inspiring. I have to stop myself though, from turning around and investing my inspiration in indulgence of symbols and language alone--I should really focus a good deal of my inspiration into other means of communication and ideas little understood and widely cultivated. Unfortunately this usually means reading and researching (utilizing symbols and language) to find and figure out what exactly these ideas are. I need to think more about this and write privately upon this matter.

Until Thursday!

This is incredible.



My respect for William Shatner went up 500%. He is now amazing. This is hilarious.

I am highly amused by the Spock & Kirk
