A Moment of Thought
Existing within these lives of ours is a strange thing. We make plans, grow attached to them, and then curl into fetal positions as our careful strategies are torn to shreds by gleeful circumstance. I proclaim that I am a nomad, embracing flexibility and change, and yet when life changes the rules, I want to scream like a three year old. I guess I have a lot to learn. And where is God in this confusion...I guess the right answer, the reassuring one is that He is guiding my path and teaching me to only trust Him. Despite the comforting platitudes, I still feel pretty scared. I've learned though, that beyond the trapped feeling of losing your plans, She tends to show up and shine a light revealing the most unexpected benefits. I'd like for that to happen yesterday.

I Hope it Was a Stormy Night
Madeleine L’Engle author of "A Wrinkle in Time", "Many Waters", "A Swiftly Tilting Planet" and so many other amazing books; a woman whose extraordinary vision captured me as a child and again as a young man, died today. She was loved greatly, and will be missed greatly.

Praise God, for he has many names, but...
For those of you who have iTunes, might I recommend heading over to the iTunes store and downloading this week's featured free download*, Dave Matthews' music video "Eh Hee." I've watched it about five times now, and I just downloaded it last night. I've been trying to wrap my head around the whole thing. Matthews directed the video, and it's one of the more intriguing videos I've seen in a while. We talk so much about artists wrestling with their beliefs or agnosticism in art all the time. Well, here's a great example.
I'm not even sure how to describe it, but the words, dark, grotesque, thought-provoking, frightening, beautiful, and artsy come to mind. Enjoy.
*For those of without the privilege of iTunes' company...here ya go. (The iTunes version is much higher quality...hint hint)
(Really, you need to see the iTunes version full screen for the full effect...really)

Alive Day
James Gandolfini interviews service men and women injured in Iraq in a new HBO documentary, "Alive Day Memories." I'm really looking forward to seeing it. I always value the first hand experiences of those who have been in the middle of this war.
It reminds me that I also need to pick up a few of the documentaries that cover the Iraqi perspective, or perspectives, rather.
