Tra la la

A few good words & inspirations from the blogosphere:

• This post punched me hard. In the best way. So good. I love this blog. So real and brave. It shouts love.
• These are better inspirations than I could ever come up with.
• Why Compassion Fatigue is a Western Luxury by Emily Wierenga. Challenging, as always.
• Just discovered these two amazing choreographers, Keone and Mari. This is a piece of writing from Mari's blog.
  
  (And check out this dance by Mari too. She's crazy good.)

 

K, that's all I've got for you today.

This Present Darkness.

I want to share a link to some pictures.
Pictures of the Holocaust.

Not because they're easy to see, not because they're bright and beautiful.

But because they're real.
This was real.

Because I should not ignore such darkness and be ignorant of that horror that occurred not too long ago.
The suffering, the hatred. . .

The pictures are incredibly graphic.

And I think it is important to see them.
It was for me, at least.

It let me feel the reality of it all.
It punched me so hard that I couldn't even cry.
I wanted to puke.

And it helped me to feel so wrenched that I had to go before God, so wordless, so horrified.
Because we've got to see the darkness, got to see it and hate it, especially what's inside of us,
because it makes us long for the day when all is renewed.

So, here it is.

I encourage you to look through them if you think you should,
take your time,
and pray hard.

Jenny & Tyler

I'm in love with Jenny & Tyler's music.
I've barely heard it.
It caught me right away.
Enveloped me.
I got goose bumps.
And felt the words and sounds and-

love.

all getting into my skin, into my heart.
