Verse of the Day

“Look, I am about to do something new. Now it begins to happen! Do you not recognize it? Yes, I will make a road in the desert and paths in the wilderness.
Isaiah 43:19 NET

http://bible.com/107/isa.43.19.NET

The (perfect) Future is not present, only because you’re still stuck in the (fallen) past! 

Waterways…… 

Immanent ~ imminent 

You can see (it everywhere), only if you’re (constantly) looking for (Him)……! 

“Atlas, rise!” – Metallica

“Bitterness and burden
Curses rest on thee

Solitaire and sorrow

All eternity

Save the Earth and claim perfection

Deem the mass and blame rejection

Hold the pose, fein perception

Grudges break your back
All you bear

All you carry

All you bear

Place it right on

Right on me
Die as you suffer in vain

Own all the grief and the pain

Die as you hold up the skies

Atlas, rise!

How does it feel on your own?

Bound by the world all alone

Crushed under heavy skies

Atlas, rise
Crucify and witness

Circling the sun

Bastardized in ruin

What have you become?

Blame the world and blame your maker

Wish ’em to the undertaker

Crown yourself the other savior

So you carry on
All you bear

All you carry

All you bear

Place it right on

Right on me
Die as you suffer in vain

Own all the grief and the pain

Die as you hold up the skies

Atlas, rise!

How does it feel on your own?

Bound by the world all alone

Crushed under heavy skies

Crushed under heavy skies

Atlas, rise!
Masquerade as maker

Heavy is the crown

Beaten down and broken

Drama wears you down

Overload, the martyr stumbles

Hit the ground and heaven crumbles

All alone the fear shall humble

Swallow all your pride
All you bear

All you carry

All you bear

Place it right on

Right on me
Die as you suffer in vain

Own all the grief and the pain

Die as you hold up the skies

Atlas, rise

How does it feel on your own?

Bound by the world all alone

Crushed under heavy skies

Crushed under heavy skies

Atlas, rise”
Hmmm…… The Messiah complex!

The fate of everyone who loves, without worship? 

Or does this also apply to Jesus himself?! Did GOD-as-savior die on the cross? 

Does this shed some light on Lucifer’s transformation to Satan?

“Oh!

Hey! Can’t you see we’re tripping on the wire

Walking through the candy land of our desires

Press the magic button and behold the world you crave

Where’s the fun in freedom when it renders you a slave?
Pledge allegiance, no flag

God nation, goddamned

The devil dances with the scorned

And how the fire keeps us warm
Hey! It goes beyond big brother in the sky

Beyond the threat of martial law no Horus eye

No one came to cuff you they just handed you the chains

Blind follows the blind and now the one-eyed man is king
Pledge allegiance, no flag

God nation, goddamned

The devil dances with the scorned

And how the fire keeps us warm
Tunnel vision, no man

Damnation, god damn

Can’t see the forest for the trees

Can’t heal the wound before we bleed
No form of payment, no pot of gold will satisfy the debt of what he’s owed

Spilling from the houses in a trance the children lined up on the road

Cursing at the piper as he lured your kids away

And led them to the river for what was their final day

No need for convincing on his pipe he played a song to fool them all

Fooled them all
Pledge allegiance, no flag

God nation, goddamned

The devil dances with the scorn

And now the fire keeps us (keeps us)
Tunnel vision, no man

Damnation, god damn

Can’t see the forest for the trees

Can’t heal the wound before we bleed”

“t.A.T.u. – All The Things She Said”

YouTube
“All the things she said
All the things she said

Running through my head

All the things she said

All the things she said

Running through my head

This is not enough
I’m in serious shit, I feel totally lost

If I’m asking for help it’s only because

Being with you has opened my eyes

Could I ever believe such a perfect surprise?
I keep asking myself, wondering how

I keep closing my eyes but I can’t block you out

Want to fly to a place where it’s just you and me

Nobody else so we can be free
All the things she said

All the things she said

Running through my head

All the things she said

All the things she said

Running through my head

This is not enough

This is not enough
All the things she said

All the things she said
And I’m all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed

They say it’s my fault but I want her so much

Want to fly her away where the sun and rain

Come in over my face, wash away all the shame

When they stop and stare – don’t worry me

‘Cause I’m feeling for her what she’s feeling for me

I can try to pretend, I can try to forget

But it’s driving me mad, going out of my head
All the things she said

All the things she said

Running through my head

All the things she said

All the things she said

Running through my head

This is not enough

This is not enough
All the things she said

All the things she said
Mom they’re looking at me

Tell me what do you see?

Yes, I’ve lost my mind
Dad they’re looking at me

Will I ever be free?

Have I crossed the line?
All the things she said

All the things she said

Running through my head

All the things she said

All the things she said

Running through my head

This is not enough

This is not enough
All the things she said

All the things she said”

Caught between the Devil (basic instincts) and a hard place (social norms)… 

Do you know the reason behind this band’s name? 

Are they both lesbians/lovers? 

Compare with “Pussy Riot”

The politics of sexuality, expressed in/as Art! 

Can sublimewe help to address such issues? If so, how?

WOW! This has become one of my favorite Christmas songs, along with other similar ones, like “Pie Jesu” by Future of Forestry 

The Latin does add an exotic & divine flavor! 

No tradition, no innovation! 

The timing of Kohli’s declaration in the final test

Does India really deserve the No. 1 ICC test ranking? How many test matches or series have we won abroad, especially outside Asia? 

This England team has been a demoralized & spineless side, unlike the tough Australians. 

Sports journalism ~ writing philosophy! 

“Timing is everything!”

I agree. 

Grace (divine) as challenge and faith (human) as response. The resulting game as salvation!
