Monday Whatevers

September 27, 2021

Hello, Friend! 

It’s Monday, so… inspired by on one of my favorite bits of the Bible, let’s start every week off with a little bit of whatever’s good and noble in the world. Here are a few excellent and noteworthy things I’m seeing in the world right now. Some are beautiful, promising, and reassuring. Some are poignant, thought-provoking, and necessary. All of them add to a greater knowing of God’s presence in this world, within our humanity, and out in the great beyond. And, they all prove there’s an abundance of spectacular, breathtaking tangible and intangible cosmic matter between us. 

Please feel free to share in the comments whatever is good that you’re seeing in the world as well.  

Blessings,
Marcie

Lyrics: 
Fate lets you fall into her arms without a word
And only the size of your breath that hurts
I'm not one to go to church
But you made me believe in something more than hurt

I feel like I don't have the words
I feel like I don't have the words
Because I can't speak

Am I so naive?
I feel like I don't have the words
Because I can't speak

Of these words I've tried to recite
They are close but not quite
Of these words I've tried to recite
They are close but not quite

I'm so misunderstood, I’m so misunderstood
I’m so misunderstood, I'm so misunderstood

I don't know what to believe in
I guess your eyes said enough
I guess your sigh said enough

All of these words, no they can't express pain
It's like my life ended, there's not words that I've learned
Oh, and these are just words
And they can't express pain
These are just words, oh words
That can't express the pain, the pain in my soul
Speak the unspoken

A monster got woken up and now, now I'm in his part
Of these words I've tried to recite
They are close but not quite
Almost impossible to do
Reciting the makings of you
