Bands

So recently, I've really discovered two bands that I find I really like. They are The Script, and Lifehouse. I like the script's style, and they have some songs I really like.(The Man Who Can't Be Moved & Breakeven) Lifehouse just has really deep songs, which is something I look for, which brings me to another point. Just the other day I realized how much more I identify with the language arts than the fine arts. It explains why I prefer rock/pop/songs with words to classical music. I love music, not so much for the tune, but more for the poetry set to the tune. Which I think is why I have such eclectic taste as far as style of music goes. I mean, not that a song with a catchy tune won't catch my attention, but the songs that have really stuck with me are the ones with meaning in their words. And in fact I can only think of one song without words that really holds special meaning for me, which is more do to the memories I have attached with it.

Ah, the beauty of words,
floating through air,
into my senses,
ensnaring me there.
In thoughts, of all things.

Today

Well, just wanted to post a few reflections I've had about living in the present. Really it's the only way to live, because the present is the only place we are fully in existence. If you dwell on tomorrow, you'll always be worried that you'll mess it up, and if you dwell in yesterday you'll often think of what could have been had you only done this or that. Niether is productive or cunducive to bringin one closer to God, therefore, one ought to live in the now. Think of the past no more than you need in order to draw from experience, and think of the future no more than you need to in order to be prepared for descisions that come up. Above all, seek god's presence in the moment, and the past, present, and future all fall into place. It's 11:38, and you are loved.
