The aesthetics of being alive ...


“Sometimes the world tries to knock it out of you”
~ August Rush









Some people just don’t "get it" - I feel as though they are walking corpses.
I am grieved, but at the same time I am joyous at those who do "get it" ~ knowing I am not alone.
And knowing it is there for anyone who wants to get it. too.
~*~
Follow-Up: I saw August Rush (the reviews were mixed btw) - but I cried several times in the movie and will see it again.
Yea, it was sappy and had unrealistic situations that left-brainers struggle with...I understand that.
I felt the movie though ... I got it.
I get it.
There are times I struggle in my heart with those who do battle in life - and still do not get it.
They miss it ... those 'walking corpses' I mentioned.
They think a better parking lot will keep people in their pews so-to-speak (as opposed to simply telling people the truth). They fight against the wind and blame the wind.
Whether church, or family/friends, or job - - it isn't about the stuff, or the programs, or anything other than the truth.
You either 'hear' it or you don't.
August Rush is a metaphor.
I hear it. I get it.
It is a relationship restored with the Creator of the uuniverse. By His mercy - I get it. On days when I seem sad - I just realize I want everyone to get it.

As I was washing out a stew pot it occurred to me that some of what I am feeling/observing is like that idea of washing the outside of a kettle and leaving all the muck remaining on the inside... and somehow thinking it is clean.
I 'spose this is more of my living corpse analogy ... those pretty kettles, pans, pots, and woks strolling through the kitchen of life thinking they have 'it' -- but they've missed it.

Anyhoo - just thinkin'

:)

Stupid wind! Doesn't even have a nice enough parking lot!
Praying for you Katey.

I guess that's one I need to see.

Sounds like you are experiencing some inner transformation...and you want that for others. It will happen for them, in their time. No need to worry. Just pour love into those dirty pots. It has a way of melting away the gook. :)
