A new year brings--
whoa! What's happening?! Can't.. control....
*crash noises, cat screams, tire rim rolling*
Poetry?
We are thoughts, single draughts
About discovery, beginnings, and change
We are small, yes indeed
With a powerful energy
To harm and heal at your beckoning wish
To empower your faith and expose your wretchedness
Lately your impatience has taken its toll
To cause us to roam where we shant not go
A temple divided, yet strong in its faith
But to jump the gun and quicken your paces
Will not get you further in the greatest of races
Be calm
Be still
Sing a song
Pray a lil' (Orrr... a lot!)
Without a clue of what to do
Do you believe you shall be carried through?
Will you fight the current and be so darn urgent
To achieve enough to earn your stuff?
Relax, breathe, get your head out of the hole
For your life is not encompassed in a little fish bowl
There is a picture, you're a string
Amidst a woven tapestry
With many threads; harmony depends
On how you treat those to your right and left
Harmony shimmers with a gleam like gold
Hindered when restlessness rattles the soul
You have a guide with all of the answers
To relieve your burdens which poison like cancers
Remember, you have died to a thing you call self
Love is your guide, the choice is made daily
Stop living a life governed on effort or desire
But on God's greater power-- relentless mercy.
So breathe a little deeper, steady your pace
God is in control of your finishing this race.
Okay okay. I definitely am nervous about this year.
September 4th, 2011.
By any sane and logical standards, this semester is gonna be awesome.
But nonetheless, I feel like I'm about to go on stage! And it's nerve-wracking!
My heart beats so fast because I am afraid.
Why am I afraid? Because I don't want to overbook myself this year.
"Fear not, for I am with thee."
I wish to live this out with my whooooole heart.
Its just hard. I am so nervous for this year to start.
I guess my biggest concern is whether I am going to like the theatre department here.
We haven't exactly clicked yet, and this year will show me a lot.
I mean, I COULD just trudge through it, regardless of my feelings.
But sometimes... I just feel too Republican to be an actor. :P
Too "I need to DO something for people tangibly--" but I know this is silly.
God created me very specifically, and if there's anything I've learned, its that
GOD CAN DO ANYTHING.
He can mold me, shape me, refine me, into whatever He needs.
It is my job to submit and go with it, yo.
So that is why I should not worry.
"He's got the whooole world, in his hands. He's got the whoooole world, in His hands.
He's got the whooole world, in his hands. He's got the whole world in His hands."
