Fallen angels at my feet
...Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes--lying next to me I fear
She beckons me, shall I give in?
Upon my end shall I begin.
Forsaking all I've fallen for...
I rise to meet the end*

The Look v03

August 1, 2006

Blue light  Blue.  The color of the morning and night sky.

The color of peace. 

The color of protection.

Blue is also the word used to paint that certain kind of feeling:

Loneliness…

…the kind that doesn’t just go away when you sleep it off; it keeps your mind occupied about something poignant/meaningless/boring/divine all day for weeks. 

…it is that feeling that pervaded so well in your life you hardly remember when it struck you first, or if you’re still in that state now.  A modern-day contagion.  Rarely do people know they carry it, and rarely do people cure it.

But you know what blue I like best?  I like blue best when paired with black.

Following the tradition that started in The Look, the feature theme is not from Crash and Burn (though I have borrowed a few lines of the song and placed it in my tag) but from a Roxette classic entitled You Don’t Understand Me.  Both songs are very close to my heart, since listening to them and internalizing their messages served as comfort for my days of loneliness.  I feel that a part of me is still in the blue, though, but I know better now.  It is because of grace that I still find myself standing and continuing to hope and trust.  Father said I’m being obstinately slow in my relationship.  Well, what can I say?  Thank you. :)

“My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.”
(excerpt from 2 Corinthians 12: 7-10)

I’m going to ask you something… Do you want to be lonely? Do you get something out of it? (Serious question. eg Maybe it inspires your creativity? Your writing?)
You can only be lonely if you’re not with yourself. Be your own best friend…. It only sounds like a cliche because people don’t actually get what it means.
And again, if loneliness is actually something that you choose, then ignore advice above. I was just trying to be helpful, not obnoxious….
