"Closer To Fine"
I'm trying to tell you something about my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
The best thing you've ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously, it's only life after all
Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it, I'm crawling on your shore.
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain
There's more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in crooked line
The less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine.
I went to see the doctor of philosophy
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
He never did marry or see a B-grade movie
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind, got my paper
And I was free.
I stopped by the bar at 3 a.m.
To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
I woke up with a headache like my head against a board
Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before
I went in seeking clarity.
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain
There's more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in crooked line
The less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine.
We go to the bible, we go through the workout
We read up on revival and we stand up for the lookout
There's more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in a crooked line
The less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine

LINDA~ YOU ARE FINE!!
I believe you have written the perfect definition of that, in my humble opinion!
All I know is that when I was reading theology all the time, I was a mixed up mess.
Now I pray silently once daily and try to do the next right thing in any situation.
I certainly don't hold any esoteric truths.
I believe the truth may be just as simple as what you stated.
When I gave up theology, I went back and read ONLY what christ was to have said. That led me to an epiphany that ended the theological debate within.
And back to evolution, I believe in evolution as the same as god. In an unexplainable way, they are one in the same.
When you rent a movie, try watching "The Fountain".
It is about evolution/god, in a really strange way.
Life is short, make FUN of it!
EVERYONE has made up their minds about things political. Discussing such just quickly becomes arguing which is silly and frustrating and serves NO purpose but to drag you down. Might as well go out and bang your head on a brick wall -- same effect! None of us need to introduce more frustration into life!
On other topics where we may want info because we're searching a bit or we just love to know new tidbits, we will respect the info from those we have trusted as friends more than those we think don't have sense God gave a goose.
SO. hanging out and talking with friends is the fun in blogging.
Didn't Tracy try to tell me this way back when we went to Wichita Voice and then to... ????
I'm an admitted news junkie and political gadfly, as well as a slow learner. It only took me years to quit with the useless headbanging. I enjoy this much more.
What the hell was I ever thinking?
Trying to debate issues with fundies and twits?
Sheesh, oh well it WAS fun for a while.
Linda, you seem to be light-years ahead of idiots like nathan. Both spiritually and intellectually.
I'll say it again, no matter how much you try to be a good, kind, loving person....
some people are just assholes who don't deserve respect, or kindness.
I don't know for sure where I'm going with this, so please be patient.
I love your line above, "I pray silently once daily and try to do the next right thing in any situation." What could ever be a better or more Christlike way to live? That sentence sums up all I think is expected of us.
And, you always seem happy, even when you're sad. That seems Christlike to me too. The difficult, the sad, unpleasant parts of life have to be tackled whether we do it with a smile or a frown. That screwed up prune like sour unhappy judgemental disapproving look-for-the-worst attitude which I all too often experience from self-professed loving "Christians" turns me off and away from anything they have to say. I think God is loving and can't find a place where the hateful, vengeful, non-accepting, have no joy fits into love.
If one must live this life without love and joy in order to ensure an afterlife it doesn't seem worthwhile to me. I laugh at myself every day! I see that in you too Tracy. Gotta do what you gotta do, so may as well laugh, huh?
Thank you. You are an inspiration.
