Robbie Williams, Angels
I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we’re grey and old
‘cos I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I’m lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I’m loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I’m right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won’t break me
When I come to call she won’t forsake me
I’m loving angels instead
When I’m feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I’ll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I’m loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I’m right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won’t break me
When I come to call she won’t forsake me
I’m loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I’m right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won’t break me
When I come to call she won’t forsake me
I’m loving angels instead

It’s the deepest things I feel and the most profound things I know for which there seem to be no words.

I’m really enjoying asking questions and the conversation and interaction over on Facebook. Feel free to jump in if you want. Some of the topics have been:
“are there questions we don’t ask, repress, avoid, run from or push aside because we fear what the answer might be?”
“They say Jesus was always content, @ peace, & undisturbed; always certain & w/out fear, doubt, worry; internally problem-free. Is that true?”
“R there certain desires, preferences, conditions, outcomes that HAVE to be fulfilled for u to be happy/at peace? Could that be the problem?”
“it seems a lot of asking, seeking & knocking goes on on but not a lot of finding? when we do, it doesn’t last. what’s the problem here?”
” What is the most significant spiritual or mental challenge, obstacle, or hurdle you are up against or wrestling through in life right now?”

Donora – The Chorus
it’s alright if you cry and cover your eyes
it’s ok if you scream like a girl
i won’t tell anyone if you promise the same
cause i’m scared of the whole world
it’s alright if you sigh. put your head next to mine
it’s ok if you curl up in a ball
cause i might give it a try and end in the same
condition after all
is it alright if i’m sad and feeling let down
is it ok if i’m not myself again
will you love me the same if i promise to breathe
and count from 1 to 10
is it alright if i lose track of the world
is it ok if i hide from the unknown
will you tell me again the story about
how i’m not alone
walk away from the life you want
and sing the chorus of the broken hearted

Am I Jesus, and is he me?

My Life in Five Chapters (by Portia Nelson):
Chapter One
I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost…I am hopeless. It isn’t my fault. It takes forever to find a way out.
Chapter Two
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don’t see it. I fall in again. I can’t believe I’m in the same place. But it isn’t my fault. It still takes a long time to get out.
Chapter Three
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in…it’s a habit. My eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately.
Chapter Four
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.
Chapter Five
I walk down another street.
