silence as liberator
Silence frees us from the need to control others ... A frantic stream of words flows from us in an attempt to straighten others out. We want so desperately for them to agree with us, to see things our way. We evaluate people, judge people, condemn people. We devour people with our words. Silence is one of the deepest Disciplines of the Spirit simply because it puts the stopper on that.

1984
Quite possibly the most depressing and insightful story i have ever known.
OH, broken world! Don't you know that justice WILL roll like a river?!
power is for power's sake, but powerlessness is not freedom.
Shalom is liberation, freedom to be chosen by God, and to chose him in return.
Lord, let your shalom be mine. You know the cries of my heart, change these selfish cries to shouts of justice for the poor and oppressed.
The world tells me that 2+2=5.I want to know that your word is true, just as 2+2=4, i want to know it with all my being, with everything i have. You are true, you are right, you are the true logician, you are the reason of the world. We depend on you for every breath, every moment, every life.

love not money
happinness doesnt come from wealth,
happinness isn't found in emptyness,
happinness can't be bought,
happinness isn't found in formulas.
Happiness is found in love,
hapinness is found in courage,
happiness id found in community,
happinness is experienced in eternity.
happiness belongs to God,
Happinness is not earned or bought
but embraced and lived.
Happinness is laughing and crying
with like minded people.
It is baring through life
with people holding your hand.
Happinness is contentment,
not an accepting bad circumstances,
but a peace and a unity found with God and his people.
it is love, not money.

prayer
Lord, restore my sight,
to do whats right,
with all God's might,
I'll take this fight,
and make things right,
Lord, transfrom my mind,
make truth unwinde,
for you i'll find,
the lost and blind.

humble tree
I have seen you in the darkest winters,
I have seen you in the joys of spring,
I have loved you when the leaves have fallen,
I have loved you when the birds nest sing.
I try to match your height and beauty,
I try that you may notice me,
I try to win your heart and attention,
but my beauty you cannot see.
