Sleepless eyes open wide
Before heaven I stand again
If there's no winning this war tonight
I was wondering
If you could steady my spinning head
And trusting gets harder now
I wish you were here beside me
My failures, my fears and doubts
Have been haunting me
I'm just not who I thought I'd be
Freefall
Weightless and terrified
On I go, crossing over
From living to so alive
And purified
I know weeping is cast for the night
But joy . . .
Thought I was a good man
But fell short of my standards
Now what am I left with?
All or nothing
And my first taste of freedom?
Freefall
Weightless and terrified
On I go, crossing over
From living to so alive
And purified
I know weeping is cast for the night
But joy . . .
If I fall down
If I fail you
When I fall down
When I fail you
I hope to find you there
I hope to find you there
I know I'll find you there
I've always found you there
When I fall down
Down
Freefall
Weightless and terrified
On I go, crossing over
From living to so alive
And purified
I know weeping is cast for the night
But joy
Joy comes in the morning
Joy . . Joy comes in the morning
Joy . . Joy comes in the morning
"...and the light seemed brighter and the pulse of the whole assembly quickened, and new modes of joy that had nothing to do with mirth as we understand it passed into them all, as it were from the very air, or as if there were dancing in Deep Heaven. Some say there always is."

Commencement
Well, given that myspace is becoming increasingly irrelevant, and facebook is not the best format in which to have blogs, I have decided to start my own.
The posting will probably alternate between frequent bursts of activity and long periods of silence, but that's to be expected, I guess. In either case, it should be a good way to vent, achieve the occasional catharsis, foist my ponderings upon you all, and keep everyone updated should my travel plans become a reality.
Welcome to my blog.
-The title is from C.S.Lewis' book Perelandra, the second volume in his space trilogy which is so much more than just a space trilogy. I highly recommend it.
