"There’s a crack in everything // That’s how the light gets in”
“I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch // And love is not a victory march // It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah”
“O see the darkness yielding // That tore the light apart // Come healing of the reason // Come healing of the heart”
“Like a bird on a wire // Like a drunk in a midnight choir // I have tried in my way to be free”

More to come
It's early Early enough that sleep didn't refresh my late night thoughts Early enough that my mind wanders free Free of process Free of order Free of rationale And on mornings like this I always seem to find myself Wandering back to you
Hi! Not sure if you've done it or not but could you do a cover of the sherlock theme?
I could certainly try! :)

I noticed that you were asked previously about your faith. So i have decided to expand on Anon's question with another. I believe in Him. But i have noticed that many (not all) but many Christians and Catholics have taken this too far. Nowhere in the bible does it say to hate the gays. Nowhere. You views? Also what is the difference between the Christian and Catholic religions? I wasn't raised religious and i do not attend a church but i do believe. So i have never known the difference.
Okay, so my views are that God doesn't hate anyone, and nobody's deserving of hell more than anyone else. We all are. The bible does say that two men doing the frickle frackle is wrong, but I don't understand why people single out that sin over the others. The bible also says that we are to correct each other with love. This doesn't mean going to funerals and telling random people that gay people are going to hell. It means in private, in a Christian community *specifically to other Christians!!!* in a loving way, discussing issues that you believe need to be discussed with them, won't push them away from their faith farther than they can handle, and are worth discussing. You're right, in fact Jesus and various other people inspired by the Holy Spirit clearly say to love everyone.
As far as Catholicism vs Protestantism, (sorry to any of my catholic followers) Catholicism was built by medieval priests trying to keep monopoly and control over their world through secrets and manipulation of scripture and using the forced ignorance of their subjects to further their personal and political goals. Protestantism was people who read the bible for themselves and found God through that. Since then, of course, it's gone in all sorts of directions, but I'm very obviously protestant. I could rant about Catholics all day, but I'll leave it there.
How deep into your depths do go your eyes? As far as I have seen, they know no end; So far across as stretch the morning skies, So deep does go your soul, my dearest friend. To see your face is all at once to me A thrill of doves that rises to the heav’ns A choir singing hymns for all to see A cry of joy so violent that it deaf’ns
To hear your voice so sweetly singing speech Alights my ears and brings aforth a song That fills my lungs beyond the point where each Could be a house; a tune to last so long That when the trumpet sounds, the Kingdom Come, Singing with you, I still will not be done.
My backyard this morning!! Christmas is coming!!!! :D
