And after the storm,
I run and run as the rains come
And I look up, I look up,
on my knees and out of luck,
I look up.
Night has always pushed up day
You must know life to see decay
But I won’t rot, I won’t rot
Not this mind and not this heart,
I won’t rot.
And I took you by the hand
And we stood tall,
And remembered our own land,
What we lived for.
And there will come a time, you’ll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.
And now I cling to what I knew
I saw exactly what was true
But oh no more.
That’s why I hold,
That’s why I hold with all I have.
That’s why I hold.
I won’t die alone and be left there.
Well I guess I’ll just go home,
Oh God knows where.
Because death is just so full and man so small.
Well I’m scared of what’s behind and what’s before.
And there will come a time, you’ll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.I adore this song. The lyrics are so powerful. When I picture my perfect self, my heart is full of grace and I have flowers in my hair.

Good is better than perfect
What if it is? I mean, is it?
People aren’t perfect. But, I believe, we are good. Not all the time, not whole-heartedly. But overall.. I think we’re good.
God is perfect. And he created us.. but not perfectly. That’s been on my mind lately. Why didn’t he make us perfect? Why have all the pain in life? I trust that his ways are perfect. So there has to be a reason for the way he formed us.
What if he knows that it’s better to have a good life than a perfect life? Would having a perfect relationship cheapen it? If there was nothing to ever work out, never any struggle at all.. how could it mean as much?
I worry that these thoughts are borderline blasphemous. I mean, I’m not trying to justify any kind of wrong doing. But there is the glaring fact that we are flawed. And I’m trying to understand why that is.
It might be something that we can never answer. But I think of Stepford Wives and all these intellectual theories that imply the same thing- perfection is neither attainable nor desirable.
Please don’t misunderstand this and think I would ever want someone to do less than their best. I think we people are capable of incredible things. More than we’re doing now. The idea of complete perfection just feels.. sterile. And life is messy.
And the God that understands this concept more than I can, and works life out in this way, is a very powerful image to me.

I’ve never watched this show, but (now that it might be cancelled) I kind of want to!
Easter Egg of the Day: Want to know why Community is getting canceled? Because it’s simply too amazing for this world.
You already know how chock-full of Easter Eggs it is, right? Well, someone just found the best one yet.
It seems that the writers have been sneaking the word “Betelgeuse” into the script of a single episode each season.
Check out what happened when the word was uttered a third time during the show’s Halloween episode, “Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps.” (Hint: Look behind Annie.)
Pure brilliance.

Marcus: This is a song featured in the greatest film made of all time.
Mumford and Sons - “Not in Nottingham” from Disney’s Robin Hood.
Played at the Electric Factory in Philly on November 9, 2010.
This made me so happy.
