Restless for the infinite

Mr. Jonathan Foreman of Switchfoot has written a new poem, which he read at a show a few days ago in England. I do declare it a winner! ;) It is beautiful and thought-provoking, and methinks someone has been reading Lord of the Rings lately. "The other shore?" "The sea of glass?" Oh, yes. Return of the King, to be exact. Love it. Lovelovelove. ♥

As found at the wonderful website Land of Broken Hearts:



The voice of the sea on a moonless night
Calling, falling, slipping tides

The voice of leaky, dripping pipes
Endless, aching droplets of light

Running, pushing falling down
Always longing, always now

Silent underneath these streets
Even blood finds ways to bleed

Even rivers ways to run
Even rain to reach the sun

Even here within these means
Within this skin, within these dreams

Longing for the other shore
The world we've never been before

Restless for the infinite
With tears of saints and hypocrites

For death and life, for night and day
With blood of black and white and grey

One by one by one by one
Our rivers surge and fight and run

Until the sea of glass we meet
At last completed and complete

Where tide and tear and pain subside
Where joy and laughter drink them dry.

Alone in the stillness

LOBH head-webmistress Jeanna shared this recent interview with Jon Foreman that she found. He has got to be one of my most favorite people on this planet. :)


I feel [God's love] when all the chaos is pushed aside.

At the edge of these two worlds

Excusing his few typos here and there (lol), Jonathan Mark Foreman has yet again managed to strike a chord deep within me and make me think and ponder, pray and wonder. Thank you for writing this, Jon. Thank you for being so utterly and beautifully human. ♥

(and one can see how pro-life he is; he uses that language of pregnancy and birth, etc that I so love.)


Thank you, God, for leading me to this today. The little graces you send me keep the fire burning in my heart, even if the shadows threaten and leer. <3

After all my searching, after all my questions, I'm gonna call it home...

Today I got my hair cut at the JC Penney salon. :) It needed it, and is now very cute. ^_^ I like it.

However, while I was getting my hair done, all of sudden on the radio (?) (the music that was playing, anyway), came the beginning piano notes of... This is Home!! Yes, the song by Switchfoot. :D :D I listened for a few seconds and then finally said "Mom..." and she said "I hear it!" :D That song means a lot to both of us. <3 <3

How unexpected to hear that song there!

Thank you, God, for that little grace today. It means so much. <3
