“
what kind of universe are we living in?
is it safe or dangerous?
is there a force, an energy, a being calling out to us,
in many languages, using a variety of methods and events,
trying to get our attention?
or are we alone in the world?
should we dismiss those experiences that come out of nowhere,
the love that creeps in, with no explanation,
at the strangest times,
that quiet grace that grabs hold of us in the middle of the night
and assures us that we’re going to be fine?
black swan.
FINALLY saw black swan.

wishing the weather felt a little more like this, but apparently seattle came home with me.

rob bell, stop making me think so hard. my head hurts.
“If it is hope that maintains and upholds faith and keeps it moving on, if it is hope that draws the believer into the life of love, then it will also be hope that is the mobilizing and driving force of faith’s thinking, of its knowledge of, and reflections on, human nature, history and society. Faith hopes in order to know what it believes. Hence all its knowledge will be an anticipatory, fragmentary knowledge forming a prelude to the promised future, and as such is committed to hope. Hence also vice versa the hope which arises from faith in God’s promise will become the ferment in our thinking, its mainspring, the source of its restlessness and torment.”

deal of the day.
bought an old canon camera for $1.99 today. not sure if it works yet, but i’d say that makes it a pretty good day.
