Grey And Wet
Never Truer...
"Seattle is like living with the most beautiful woman in the world...
...Who is sick 90% of the time."
~Heard from J.J. Kisinger
Amen, J.J.
A hearty amen.

Never Truer...
About Me
- Name: Eucharisto
- Location: In The Midst of the Huddled Masses
I am one who dreams deeply, even when I don't understand. I seek hard after the truth, even though I am stumbling more than I am making progress. I live with the hope that somewhere, dreams and truth intertwine, and make sense of this life. I live mostly in darkness, but every once in a while, catch a ray of light that shines on this far country, straight from home, where I am headed. That is why I am who I am, He is who He is, and you are who you are, and all of us are walking together towards the light.

What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stings
Because Grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things...
Grace finds beauty in everything.
Art is the ability to convey that we are not alone. When I sit down next to you in a movie theater, we get to share each other's point of view. We become part of a collective soul.
Too late
I know it's not too late
To wrestle with this angel
Higher and higher
Don't let go
Higher and higher
Before we know
How does it end
How does it end
We're all riding on the last train
Trying to find our way home again
I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
Oh the glory that the lord has made
And the complications when I see his face
In the morning in the window
Oh the glory when he took our place
But he took my shoulders and he shook my face
And he takes and he takes and he takes
Love a man, even in his sin, for that love is a likeness of the divine love, and is the summit of love on earth.

That's very funny and, um... worrisome?
It depends on you look at it. In my best moments, I kind of find that cold, grey, dreariness kind of charming. :)
Of course it can get a bit heavy once in a while, but I'll bet it's not worse than it sometimes gets in your neck of the woods!
Well, yes...that is precisely what I was going to say before I actually read your comment, there, Joel, since I, myself associate Cold, Grey and Wet weather with pleasantness, rather than being sick.
Hehe.
When I was in Switzerland in 2000, my last whole week of stay there was filled with non-stop rain, with no or bleak sun.Which dampened the spirits of my parents somewhat, but only cheered me up all the more!
God, How I loved that particular week!That kind of rain, coupled with the great low temperature of the place, felt like heaven.[I esp. love lower temperatures].
Whereas here in India, though we get extremely heavy showers in the monsoons sometimes, (many times, in fact), but nothing beats the experience of that one week there!
I laughed out loud.
P.S. I believe you have a birthday coming up...you are no longer a teenager, yes? How did time pass so quickly, leaving us adults before we could even realize what was happening. I wish you the best birthday, though I may be very early or very late :)
You've been tagged!
