unhindered and (seemingly) illogical

this assignment is def. taking more time than i thought it would. drat.

and i am leaving right after work tomorrow to go to seattle to go to a concert. drat.

i should really learn to schedule things better, and overall, just manage my time better. drat.

drat, drat, drat.

yeah.

word to the wise: don't eat chocolate cake when you have no milk in the house.

got milk?

yeah. so, having some people over tonight, that should be fun. we get together every wednesday night for dinner and whatever, and we decided to have it at our place tonight. its all good.

on a nerdier note, my roommate and i went and bought The Two Towers, extended version last night. but, it was on dvd. so, we bought a dvd player, lol... so? it's all good. anyhow... i'm off!

Earth is crammed with Heaven
and every common bush afire with God;
but only he who sees takes off his shoes.
The rest sit around it and
pluck blackberries.

~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning

for anyone who is interested, i have been posting on my ramblings site.

Have I come too casually?
Because it seems to me
There's something I've neglected
How does one approach a Deity
with informality
And still protect the Sacred?

'Cause you came and chose to wear the skin of all of us
And it's easy to forget You left a throne

And the line gets blurry all the time
Between daily and Divine
And it's hard to know the difference

Oh, let me not forget to tremble
Oh, let me not forget to tremble
Face down on the ground do I dare
To take the liberty to stare at you
Oh, let me not,
Oh, let me not forget to tremble

What a shame to think that I'd appear
Even slightly cavalier
In the matter of salvation
Do I claim this gift You freely gave
As if it were mine to take
With such little hesitation?

'Cause you came and stood among the very least of us
And it's easy to forget you left a throne

Oh, let me not forget to tremble
Oh, let me not forget to tremble
Face down on the ground do I dare
To take the liberty to stare at you
Oh, let me not
Oh, let me not forget to tremble

The cradle of the grave could not contain Your Divinity
Neither can I oversimplify this love

Oh, let me not forget to tremble

Face down on the ground do I dare
To take the liberty to stare at you
Oh, let me
Oh, let me not forget to tremble

Tremble
