"A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for."
--William Shedd--
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
--Mark Twain--
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.
--Albert Einstein--
Dumb Love
05/05/05 02:55 PM
I am thinking about the way I was a few years ago. I was a kid. Naturally, and when it came to love.Brash, not much tact, I made videos when I was upset about love, further hurting the person I claimed to love, but I was also willing to risk more, I was less calculated, less protective of my love than I am now.
Dumb love, love so stupid that it has no limit. So stupid it writes poems named things like "Heaven Scent"<----not a typo. It asks people to banquets, even when they told them not to. It trusts, and believes in good more than it is afraid of being hurt.
God loves this way, he sent his only son, to die, to save us. Sounds dumb. It must have seemed that way at the time. Floods, plagues, even wrath, choice, Israel, life, nature, and beauty, it all sounds so reserved.
Of course making a video that hurt someone and God's love are nothing alike. His love is dumb, but it never hurts.
So I should love like that. Dumb and patient, never unkind. The best of both worlds, childish and wise. Wanting the best. Overflowing, because I've been poured into so much.
I am wondering if I haven't given up dumb love, because it is too much, too childish, and might seem too strong to the people it is given too. God isn't that calculating, he is generous.
I should be too.
Just something I have been thinking about today.
P.S. People in Illinois look at the weather forecast, you are livin' warmer than us!! Also notice the nice looking weather forecast in the new Mac OS 10.4

Listening to ''after all'', by Dar Williams (Play Count: 26)Life is to fast.
Life is rushed onto us. It comes and it goes, we have too many choices and we often make the wrong one. Drive faster on the freeway, watch 300+ channels of TV. Get higher speed internet, faster computers, shorter sermons, quicker previews. Better, more, faster.
And so we handle our problems the same way. We are well trained. We need quicker response to our problems. So we pray harder, which usually means more demanding, and hope our short/concise time, will yield faster results.
We ask our friends or parents for advice.
But we need the answers now.
Next time something comes up I am going to take it slow. Praying longer, waiting for a response, the wise answer comes with time.
Next time you need advice or someone asks you to give them advice.
STOP.
Well the sun rose, with so many colors,
it nearly broke my heart
