i just finished A Severe Mercy. that book speaks to my heart on levels other writings never have, or at least not half as deeply. i have always been captivated by love. the last few years of my life i've studied and prayed for nothing else as consistently. i firmly believe there is nothing else more important in life as this, because God is love. everything else in life flows from that. as such, i find it coincidental how, in these past few months of the awakening, i have been introduced to the two most influential works (in my thinking) on the subject--A Severe Mercy and The Four Loves. it has been like looking at the moon for a long time and then having someone hand you a telescope. Things have come into focus a lot more and my mind is working again.
today i ran with the thought of moving to california next year when my lease is up. this all depends on the course of the next few months and my sweet lords leading, but the idea is rattling around in my head. today i was plagued with dark thoughts that saddened my heart, and perhaps this is the catalyst that brought califonia to the fore my mind. that place is peace and safe removal from all that i know of life. however, as god made my heart he has put a love for people within me, and moving would be about the most painful thing i can think of, but as i said--this is all a hypothetical. i am weary but all is well.
the boy
