Christmas cheer. Parties. Happiness flying, penetrating every crack. Laughter. Food (so much food!). Tears (because death comes even at Christmas). Exhaustion. Presents. Hurry. Cookies. Love. Thanksgiving. Joy. Singing--off-key, on-key, doesn't-matter-what-key.
Vision. A little bit of anxiety that death will come too quickly and the to-do list will not be finished. Dreams. Calendars. Clocks. Yes, I will be happy to. No, I'm sorry, I can't. I would love to, but. Focus. This next year, I will (fill-in-the-blank).
Then, out of it all, a nugget emerges. One of those moments that catches your soul off-guard and brings tears of clarity raining down your face.
You may just say, "What? What's the big deal about that? The Shock lady is a little bit too dramatic for me."
That's okay.
Because, then again, maybe you WON'T say that. Maybe it will explode in your heart, too.
Read it and watch the whole 5 minutes of the video: http://bit.ly/7oQ921
I'm reading back through your blogs to catch up on what I've missed...couldn't get this video to play...
ReplyDeleteAh. That's a shame. It was a video of Carlos Whittaker (Ragamuffin Soul) singing in a park and a homeless man joining him and just getting lost in the worship. A wonderfully cool video. I hate they have removed it. I went to his blog and couldn't find it, either...
ReplyDeleteSo sorry!
