I change during the course of a day. I wake and I’m one person, and when I go to sleep I know for certain I’m somebody else.

Bob Dylan

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is dong its best, night and day, to make you everybody else, means to light the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
e.e. cummings

My heart rejoices in the LORD;
In the LORD my horn is lifted high
My mouth boasts over my enemies
For I delight in your deliverance

There is no one holy like the LORD
There is no one besides you
There is no Rock like our God

I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

You alone are Father
You alone are Good
You alone are Saviour
You alone are God

despising its shame

what if I like how the blueness of a sky breaks my heart
what if I want to linger in the moment of gazing at waves drawn in pencil, the longing for / of an unnamed place at coordinates far, far away

but... sometimes... I'm walking down the street and a shaft of light falls a certain way across the pavement and I just wanna cry. And then a second later it's over.
