blog think takes over

OK now it's getting weird.
Like when you buy a new car and suddenly you start seeing your same car everywhere...
It's the same with blogging.
I had no trouble ignoring the pressure to blog for the last few years.
I told myself I just had too much else going on.
Now that this blog is launched and now that at least 5 people have looked at it,
there appears to be no turning back.

Grace

grace makes beauty out of ugly things

grace, personified

I'm kind of glad that U2 did not
make a video of this song (yet).
But the lyrics have inspired
several fans to mash up some
thoughtful images to go along.
This one I thought was a little
choppy and a bit preachy but
still beautiful.


"grace" lyrics by bono...
Grace, she takes the blame
She covers the shame
Removes the stain
It could be her name

Grace, it's a name for a girl
It's also a thought that changed the world

And when she walks on the street
You can hear the strings
Grace finds goodness in everything

Grace, she's got the walk
Not on a ramp or on chalk
She's got the time to talk
She travels outside of karma, karma
She travels outside of karma

When she goes to work
You can hear the strings
Grace finds beauty in everything

Grace, she carries a world on her hips
No champagne flute for her lips
No twirls or skips between her fingertips
She carries a pearl in perfect condition
What once was hurt, what once was friction
What left a mark no longer stings
Because Grace makes beauty out of ugly things

Grace finds beauty in everything
Grace finds goodness in everything
