truth and nonsense

[sageandsea]

First, the paganism. I don't talk about religion or spirituality here because honestly it just is in my life, it's not something I think about often. I try to be the best person I can be, and to care for others as much as possible, to leave some little mark on the world, to change one life for the better, to make one person smile.

Sometimes that's hard, especially financially. CJ's AS precludes her from being able to work a "normal" job, so we do eBay and she does surveys online like a mad-woman to supplement what I make. Usually, it's enough, but suddenly we have 3 extra mouths to feed. And as always in the past, the Goddess has come through. Once, years ago when we had a house full of teenagers and no money, I found a $600 check in the glove box of my car that I could have sworn I cashed months previously. This time, Divine Providence arrived in the form of wonderful friends bringing extra food, CJ winning a $100 survey, and things like the booklet on eBay going up so high.

The moral, I guess, is that we're happy with what we have, and we try hard to give away what we can to make other people happy. And the more we give away, the more we seem to get in return. An old principle, but...still true.

Enough mush, onto the nonsense, stolen from bunches o'people.

The NIN song is 'the only time' and it always gets me going, too. I think it's the way Trent is sucking breath and using that low register sex voice--my stomach is curling up just thinking about it. Rowr!

thank you! uh huh, it is the breathing, i think, that gets me most - that, and the next line "...i don't wanna think to much about what i should or shouldn't do..." which is so much how i feel sometimes! i spend way too much time thinking through the consequences of my actions, the thought of letting go is sexy in itself.

Isn't that the truth! :)

It's a pretty damned cool law of the universe, I think!
