How is it possible that I can love so much? I think it must have to do with this marked increase in faith. But I feel so much love, so much appreciation for everything and everyone. Or at least a lot more than before. Every tree, every star, every cloud, every song, every person beams with love. I love life. I love.
So I haven't totally resigned the possibility of a romantic relationship with John. But I'm not exactly working toward that end either.
Last night I met this guy at Navigators, named Mike. I always thought he was cute (he's in Christian Philosopher's Society), but out of my league. So I didn't even try to get to know him. But I talked to him a bit, and when he found out that we live in the same building, he said "we should hang out". That's such a small statement, but I have already placed so much by it. Have you heard of the children's book, "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie"? They should make one called "If You Give a Girl an Invitation". I decided to find him on facebook, and he seems really cool. He's very musical. I'll see him tomorrow.
Anyways, here's a song that's been on my mind a lot lately.
A hollow hallelujah hangs in the corner
with the rest of our dissolving years.
You're the storm and the calm
the dove and the bone
the ghost that relieves all my fears
The life is spent from cold
as years and sheets unfold
We'll be able to sleep all alone
The Weight of the World is on top of me
but I wouldn't have you anywhere else
The Weight of the World is on top of me
And I want You here all to myself
Like a land-worthy sailor I even falter at failure
Trying to find my heading back home
You're the cure for the disease
the vice I still need
the cast to the break in my bone
You're the life that's worth living
the hurt and forgiving
You're Jesus to the demons You've put in my head.
The Weight of the World is on top of me
but I wouldn't have you anywhere else
The Weight of the World is on top of me
And I want You here all to myself
