"Maria Makes Me Laugh."

Kate, I pray that you have heard this. It's incredible song. My sediments exactly. "I'd like to say a word on your behalf.." is what Sara must have said when she wrote that. "Yes sister Margeretta?"

"Less Like Scars"
It's been a hard year
But I'm climbing out of the rubble
These lessons are hard
Healing changes are subtle
But every day it's

Less like tearing, more like building
Less like captive, more like willing
Less like breakdown, more like surrender
Less like haunting, more like remember

And I feel you here
And you're picking up the pieces
Forever faithful
It seemed out of my hands, a bad situation
But you are able
And in your hands the pain and hurt
Look less like scars and more like
Character

Less like a prison, more like my room
It's less like a casket, more like a womb
Less like dying, more like transcending
Less like fear, less like an ending

And I feel you here
And you're picking up the pieces
Forever faithful
It seemed out of my hands, a bad situation
But you are able
And in your hands the pain and hurt
Look less like scars

Just a little while ago
I couldn't feel the power or the hope
I couldn't cope, I couldn't feel a thing
Just a little while back
I was desperate, broken, laid out, hoping
You would come

And I need you
And I want you here
And I feel you

And I know you're here
And you're picking up the pieces
Forever faithful
It seemed out of my hands, a bad, bad situation
But you are able

And in your hands the pain and hurt
Look less like scars (x3)

And more like
Character

Yes, yes, yes, I have heard that song and it means something very personal to me every time I hear it. "Less like an ending..."
I think all our "cycles" are spiralling upward.

I've been thinking about the end of Capernwray recently, since it's been a year. But though it ended, Capernwray was by no means an ending. Maybe as we get older and have more and more of what we think are "cycles," we'll see more and more clearly that they aren't cycles at all, but upward steps and refining fires.

I'm praying for you each day, my wonderful friend.

Absolutely exactly my past year.

Would love to hear the music.

Hi there how are you? I was looking through your blog and found it interesting and wanted to leave you a comment.

I have an invitation for you to come and visit my art blog here in San Diego Southern California. I started this blog in an attempt at finding a creative way to find new friends, and explore my artistic skills through bloging. I have since found many new friends from an international audience. I hope you will stop by and enjoy the various labels and music videos I design for my art blog.
I hope to see you soon :)
