Jon will be 19 in July

hang your happiness
on someone else's rope
hang your sadness by the door
hang your heart across your arm
like a jacket that can't be creased
hang the new year, all you television people
teach me how to love
and be loved
and be alone
and be loved
hang beauty and truth, all you poets
hang your hopes
hang your words

the light was cool and dim. i observed christmas through the windows, sparkly trees sulking in the corner, cosy carpeted flats and graffiti on the roof

what is this strange feeling? I feel like I've lost something important, but can't remember what. I'm searching for something that may or may not exist. I only know what it is not, which is this. Is it home or is it heaven? Is it a feeling or a need? Is it comfort or companionship or how much you've got stocked up in the cupboards, how many presents you got in your stockings, or is it a doorway made of light and a banquet hall filled with the smiling faces of friends and family saying, 'welcome! come on in, we've been waiting for you!' everyone you love with their arms wide open saying, 'come in! come on in!'

so many words and nothing to say

divine comedy

These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,  A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. 

- Proverbs 6:16-19

Among the things that God hates is a proud look - or haughty eyes - as the NIV translates it, which makes sense since the world seems to love a proud look (though considerably less when it ends up being on the receiving end). An upturned nose, a disinterested expression radiating contempt, a posture proclaiming unshakeable superiority - these are things that we've been conditioned to admire because they seem to communicate a sense of confidence - a sign that the wearer is fully aware and confident of who he/she is, whereas in God's eyes, a proud look and haughty eyes suggest someone who doesn't really comprehend or appreciate who He is; the truth of God's greatness and glory, if properly understood and acknowledged, leaves no room for the worship of self.
