falling into one

you pour out your heart...pour out your heart.

I unload my mind...unload my mind.

I was always taught there were two of me

so a battle rages on

if i can't even live with myself? how can you and i agree but we're

Falling into one, falling into one

will those arms catch me? will they embrace me?

i'm so afraid of falling into one

i pour out my heart...pour out my heart

you unload your mind...unload your mind

have you ever felt like you're cut in half?

like your really not complete?

these arms will more than catch you jack!

they'll hold you "Dan la nuit" and we're

Falling into ONE, falling into ONE
those arms will catch you, they will embrace you

Falling into ONE, falling into ONE

these arms will catch you and they will embrace you

don't be afraid of falling, it's better than this crawling

don't be afraid of falling into ONE

landing epiphanies

3 full weeks since my last entry. Recent pilgrimage to Manitoba has left me a little spread out. I'm just now starting to "land".

I've been "out" for a year now. All the epiphanies of wonder and oneness now set backdrop for new and intense awareness of smallness and seperateness. I read a quote in a book recently that went something like "one man's epiphany is another man's triviality"

Hmm, did a search of Epiphany and discovered an ancient Christian Feast which I was unaware of and it's not too late to celebrate it.

1. Epiphany
a. A Christian feast celebrating the manifestation of the divine nature of Jesus to the Gentiles as represented by the Magi.

....Jesus gave us the example: we are not called to summon the media, to advertise the coming attractions, to be the next big thing. We are called to do this as Jesus did it: in smallness and hiddenness, in weakness and brokenness, in humility and trust, in faith, hope and love.


Let us contemplate the smallness and hiddenness of the first epiphany and be ready in our hearts to imitate it in all of the tiny, insignificant interactions of our lives. Let us pray to be true to the meaning of Christ’s infancy, to be protected from the Herods of this world, and to accomplish our mission that we received in the Lord at our Baptism. AMEN.

Land

A lone island
A wash of pain, a gain of none
Alone is land
Awash again
