Sometimes, when I think that I've lost all hope, I watch this and it makes me feel something, if only for a few moments.

Live
I went on a rant about an hour ago. I'm sorry for whoever had to hear it. Actually, I'm not sorry. The words that were said had to be said.
Here's what it comes down to:
1. Christ tells us not to worry about what we will eat or drink, etc.
2. Josh Ritter asks us which is better: to have love at the immediate expense of the world around us, or to lose that love.
3. Paul Simon tells us that we are all Slip Slidin' Away.
4. T.S. Eliot reminds us that words crack and break under the burden of defining time. He tells us that what is important is "Quick, now, here, now always-"
So what does all this mean? Quit worrying about what will happen to you tomorrow. Don't be afraid to love! If you blink, you will miss the real meaning of life. What matters is here. Now. Stop reading my blog! Go out and make a difference. Make friendships! Fall in love! Smell the most fragrant flower! Eat the spiciest spaghetti! Live life and have fun doing it! That is all!
