One more time is all you need.

Its amazing what beauty is found in things undone--or things unsaid. I have times when I appreciate someone more during the times when they try the least or say the least. Times like this force recognition of beauty/value/uniqueness to depend on other characteristics to display them. Its always a challenge to observe things like these without relying on traditional senses. As with almost all of the thoughts on relationships, these apply to the human ones, and the spiritual one. Such a large part of human need is dependent upon relationships, so why do we limit ourselves on ways to approach and interact within that relationship? We look so hard for things we want to see, that we miss the things we should see. Its like breathing the name of God. Our regiment for interacting with Him is not the only way to learn from this relationship. He is everywhere, filling our lungs and waiting to be found where we least expect it.

I can't stand the phrase, "It is what it is." People where I work continually use that phrase. Its like their mantra. To me, its the sound of defeat. It's used when people feel as if they have no more control over a situation, and the outcome must be accepted. Problem is, when the phrase is used, there is still something that can be done most of the time. What a cop-out.

Thoughts are flying through my head...Its kind of like a moving reel of still pictures. Its going too fast for you to spend any length of time on one picture/memory/thought. But, its moving just slow enough to get a glimpse of each one, triggering another thought before the last one has been completed.
