Divine Milieu...Dixie Chicks - Easy Silence...For Catherine...
"I need something to believe in,
Breathe in sanctuary in the,
Easy silence that you make for me,
It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me,
And the peaceful quiet you create for me,
And the way you keep the world at bay for me,
The way you keep the world at bay..."
Matrix Reloaded...Hmmmm...Upgrades...
No matter how many times the Agents are defeated they keep coming back to "...kill, steal and destroy..." and as Neo says, "...hmmm...ugrades..." perhaps that is all that can be said and keep fighting.
Matrix..Subway Fight Between Neo and Smith...
Neo is starting to believe who he is and no longer runs from Smith but rather confronts him and fights. He is still hurt in the conflict, but does not stay down but chooses to get up and keep fighting.
Divine Milieu...Alanis Morissette - Thank U...
How bout getting off of these antibiotics
How bout stopping eating when I'm full up
How bout them transparent dangling carrots
how bout that ever elusive kudo
Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence
How bout me not blaming you for everything
How bout me enjoying the moment for once
How bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
How bout grieving it all one at a time
Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence
The moment I let go of it was the moment
I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it
Was the moment I touched down
How bout no longer being masochistic
How bout remembering your divinity
How bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out
How bout not equating death with stopping
Thank you India
Thank you providence
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you nothingness
Thank you clarity
Thank you thank you silence

“Beware of affection...I was betrayed by a kiss…”
- Jesus to me
“There can be no doubt in Jesus’ mind what the kiss of Judas means, but it is Judas that he is blessing, and Judas that he is prepared to go out and die for now. Judas is only the first in a procession of betrayers two thousand years long. If Jesus were to exclude him from his love and forgiveness, to one degree or another he would have to exclude mankind.”
–Frederick Buechner
How is this possible? It is amazing to me when I consider how ineffectual I am at doing what it is that Jesus did and yet in some way, "What is impossible with human beings is possible with God."

Where Grace Abounds...
“Grace abounds in contemporary movies, books, novels, films, and music. If God is not in the whirlwind, He may be in a Woody Allen film or a Bruce Springsteen concert. Most people understand imagery and symbol better than doctrine and dogma. Images touch hearts and awaken imaginations. One theologian suggested that Springsteen’s Tunnel of Love album, in which he symbolically sings of sin, death, despair, and redemption, is more important for Catholics than the Pope’s last visit when he spoke of morality only in doctrinal propositions. Troubadours have always been more important and influential than theologians and bishops.”

Bruce Springsteen...The Theologian From New Jersey...Badlands....
"I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of."
-Jesus
But there's one thing I know for sure girl
I don't give a damn
For the same old played out scenes
I don't give a damn
For just the in betweens
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul
I want control right now
talk about a dream
Try to make it real
you wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
for a moment that just don't come
Well, don't waste your time waiting....
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay
We'll keep pushin' till it's understood
and these badlands start treating us good....
I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the faith that could save me
I believe in the hope
and I pray that some day
It may raise me above these...Badlands...
For the ones who had a notion,
a notion deep inside
That it ain't no sin
to be glad you're alive
I wanna find one face
that ain't looking through me
I wanna find one place,
I wanna spit in the face of these badlands...
