Clean Sunlight

It's clean. I like it because it's clean.
-Max Skinner (A Good Year)

the sun has made me happy. it makes me want to wear a cotton or linen dress and walk in a field by a river. or through a garden. it's clean, warm and lovely.

Obviously Obvious.

Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious...
-Michael Stipe
...
my life is just this.
...

...
Confusion heard his voice, and wild uproar stood ruled, stood vast infinitude confined; Till at his second bidding darkness fled, Light shone, and order from disorder sprung.
-John Milton

A Sky on Fire

Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.
-Eskimo Proverb.

now normally i'm not the type of person to post lyrics. personally i find that really cliche and gross. but these are so poetic and the song is so moving. audrey assad is a new and upcoming christian artist and her voice is absolutely fantastic. one of the best i've heard in long, long time. i think i love this song as much as i do because it almost perfectly reflects how i feel about God.

For the Love of You:

You live in a million places
Your fingerprints can be seen on a million faces
and there's a trace of You
in every alleluia
every song that I sing

for love of You
i'm a sky on fire
for love of You
i come alive
it's Your Sacred Heart within me beating
Your voice within me singing
(out for love of You)

it's all for you

You are the highway i travel
cause i watched You carve streets of gold
from sin and gravel
i gave You brokenness
You gave me innocence
and now this road leads to glory

You are my deepest longing
so i see You everywhere
it's You i'm chasing after
cause i am captivated by who You are
and how You move
i'll follow You forever
god
for love of You
