IT FEELS LIKE TODAY ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- easy from june 6, 2005 "i'm starting to realize that the task God has allotted me--to live in america, with all my needs met and countless distractions--is as difficult and treacherous as that task allotted to the prisoner, the slave, the starving. could it indeed be more difficult in some ways? it's the constant temptation to numb myself. would that i had no endless numbing resources. it's the idolatry that defines this culture: people-worship, possession and ownership...beauty. is this why i always want to get out? does it seem like finding and being with God would be easier if life--the living of it--weren't so damn easy?" 12:51 am - 04.18.2006 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- there's music playing: "christina" by patty griffin i'm reading: GOD'S SILENCE by franz wright |
