How Can I Swim This Great Divide?
2003-09-24/11:43 p.m.
Here is your horoscope for Wednesday, September 24:

You may be self-serving, but you're also helping others. For Scorpio, the word 'feeling' means sensation as well as emotion. You're here for the best experience available.

I think this fits so well for today. Especially after how I felt yesterday. I longed for sensation. Anything to tell me that I was still alive. I realize now that I am still alive and I will continue to be for quite some time. I'm less negative towards life today, though I still think I'm having some problems with the concept of faith. I wrote to my dad and told him about how I was so completely lost and this is what he wrote back to me:

Regarding Mass: it really isn't the form the religion takes that matters. Often, there is a vast universe between religion and spirituality. The only reason there are churches is to provide a place to put us in the mood to communicate with God. Sometimes, if we go to them when there's a service it's counter-productive. Your relationship with God is what you make it. I don't believe everything is directed or dictated by a god that causes floods or drought. I do believe that a power that we can't begin to comprehend created this whole universe. I believe that when I study a leaf or see a beautiful human soul. Now there aren't many beautiful human souls, but just the fact there are some point to a higher power

I never realized what kind of spiritual man my father was, but I was simply amazed at his response. Again I love my father, but it seems like such an odd response coming from him because he's never been like that before.

Again, today was a relatively good day. Ghetto mass rehearsal was a little scary because Chris (my fronto) made a point to put me right next to the piano tonight and talk to me. I was shocked. He never talks to me really but he was really funny tonight. At least I think so, but I don't really look down at people who swear at church. I'm a terrible person in that sense though.

I'm looking forward to a relatively good day tomorrow. We're surprising one of our friends with a birthday cake. I'm getting good at this surprising thing. We're even using food colouring to dye the frosting his favourite color, which is orange.

I don't really have much more to say. I love you all. I hope you have wonderful rest of the weeks, and if you're in the Wood this weekend I hope I see you!

I, I'm a one-way motorway

I'm a road that drives away

And follows you back home

I, I'm a street light shinin'

I'm a white light blindin' bright

Burnin' off and on

It's times like these you learn to live again

It's times like these you give and give again

It's times like these you learn to love again

It's times like these, time and time again

I, I'm a new day risin'

I'm a brand new sky

To hang stars upon tonight

I, I'm a little divided

Do I stay or run away

And leave it all behind?
