faded things

A tired, faded little flower looked up at the Sun one day. She winced at it's mighty brilliance and power. The forlorn little flower felt weak and helpless while gazing at this shining Thing. This Thing that was harsh and loving at the same time. This Thing that would strike and caress with the same ray. She was awed and comforted as she grew warm in Its light. She was frightened with the thought of Its wrath. She bowed lower and lower, cowering and worshiping with one movement.

As faded plants bow to the Sun, so shall I, a faded being myself, bow to you, O Lord.

THE PILLOW

this post is fulfilling a project that's been undone since forever. So yeah. Finished. Here it is. In all of it's glory. Yep. Okay I'm milking it. Have a good night!

Let it always be known, that I was who I am.

Oh naïve little me
asking what things you have seen
You're vulnerable in your head
You'll scream and you'll wail till you're dead

Creatures fade by night
Following things that aren't right
and they're tired and they need to be lead
They'll scream and they'll wail till they're dead

But give me to a rambling man
Let it always be known that I was who I am

Beaten, battered, and cold
My children will live just to grow old
But if i sit here and weep
I'll be blown over by the slightest of breeze

And the weak need to be lead
And the tender I'll carry to their bed...

Oh but give me to the Rambling Man
Let it always be known, that I was who I am.
(excerpts from Rambling Man)

I love early mornings. I haven't been up as early as I was today in a long while. I woke up with moonbeams streaming through my window. I watched as the sky and clouds turned from black and grey to a brilliant azure and pink. I walked in the morning breeze and grew warm in the golden sun. Ah yes. This day has been nice.
Have a fabulous rest of Wednesday.

Some Little Things and some words on Banana Pops

flickr won't let me upload anything because I don't have a pro account and I ran out of room...

Laura Marling is a new favorite for sure. This song is so haunting and perfect. The video is so perfectly shot. It makes me long for winter.

Okay so Banana Popsicles are really great. I haven't had one in forever. I used to hate them. But I had one today and enjoyed it immensely.
That's all.

Cast your wreckless dreams upon our Mayflower

Haven from the world and her decay.



This is quite breathtaking. Someone posted it on facebook and reminded me how much I love this song.

In other news, School starts this week. I'm so ready. Also, I went to the Andrew Peterson/Eric Peters/Concerning Lions concert on Saturday night. I was very impressed with Concerning Lions, they were much better live than I expected. I was pleasantly satisfied with Andrew Peterson, he was absolutely fantastic, just like I knew he would be. I'm going to go write letters and work on that blasted Calvin & Hobbes pillow I've been working on for forever. I'm finishing it. End of story.
Have a good day, in spite of the fact it is a Monday.
