Four nights
Four women
Four dates
I know what I want. I've tasted it before. I know it's possible. I've experienced it. I've seen it, I've held it in my hands. I know it is out there and I know that I want it.
But days turn to weeks turn to months
another flirt
another number
another date
another sigh
I'm starved for conversation.
Were not our hearts burning within us
-Luke 24
I miss that spark that burn within my heart during a conversation.
I know I'm not romanticizing, fantasizing, I've tasted it before.
"I'm working on the high hope
And if it all works out, you might just see me
Or hear from me in a while
I'm gonna make it across this tight rope
And I'm coming for my prize
No more I'll be waiting round
While life just passes by
Maybe when our hearts have realigned
Maybe when we've both had some time
I'm gonna see you there
Cause I've been living in the half life
Not sure which way to turn
Why must a man lose everything
To find out what he wants
I'm gonna wait until it feels right
And when that time has come
Wild horses won't keep me back
From where you have gone
Maybe when we're both old and wise
Maybe when our hearts have had some time
I'm gonna see you there,
Lay where we can be natural,
I wanna see you there"
To be understood
To be known
I think about it often and it's still such a mystery to me
Why do we want, why do we need to be known?
Why does it feel so good to know we are understood, we are known?
What is that within us?
Where does it come from?
How beautiful it makes life!
Is nostalgia a bad thing God?
Hope is part of the fruit of the Spirit.
Hope is longing for a better future
Wouldn't nostalgia be a hope in the other direction of our timeline?
What is time?
I believe we in the present should hold in one hand nostalgia and in the other hope.
It makes me think about the Scioto dam removal. without the nostalgia of the rivers beautiful past we would not be able to have the hope of its return to beauty.
I find most of Wendell Berry's writing to master this tension of nostalgia and hope perfectly.
Is nostalgia idolatry? What would our pale blue dot look like if we never looked back at the past lovingly and longingly?
It's a conversation my heart would burn to have with someone
I'm gonna wait til it feels right.
Tried to keep you close to me,
But life got in between
Tried to square not being in there
But think that I should've been
