I don't care about your politics

I really don't.  I don't care if you're a Republican or a Democrat or a Hilary or a Barack or a McCain or Huckabee fan.  

Regardless of any of that I think you should listen to this:

Better yet, go to www.dipdive.com and read Dip-finition.  This is good writing.  (The song and the Dip-finition.)  This is good preaching.  This is good poetry.

It's about the cadence and the way the layers are woven together.  

And someday I'll find someone who helps me express this better.  

In the meantime, listen.  Think about the quality of the speech and the music.  Listen to the poetry.  

Oh, and vote for someone.

Words on Fire

The problems of the world are many and complex. There is no simple solution. But there are simple places to start. Or at least to start thinking.




Found at Snow on Roses, who occasionally posts amazingly beautiful poetry. (sidebar link to come)

The Journey

Week of many posts, I guess. Well, seven day period of many posts. But I didn't write this one. I'm sticking it under 'music video' because that's the medium it is, but this more than most songs is poem-put-with-music(and-in-this-case-pictures). But it's a good poem and I like the old maps. And it's my blog, so I can.

Another Song

So, once is an abberation, but twice is something more. I'm not planning on making this a habit, but I will probably continue to post songs when I find some that make me think.
And on the topic of making me think, these are things this song makes me think about: Is the song condemning (even indirectly) placing a child up for adoption? Why not adopt? What does it mean to be willing to die to have a child (is this different from dying for a child you have)?
Still, despite these and similar questions I'm placing this here because I think this song writer (the singer is Kellie Coffey, and I tend to think she wrote this as well) captures something important about the struggle of infertility. I think it's good writing and that it deserves to be seen. So the post goes up. I'll put something I wrote up later today.

Something a little different

So, this is neither my own work or poetry, but I thought it was good and important and worth the time and space here on my blog. Plus this way I will know where to find it.
