As the war heats up and Saddam gets his…regime…kicked things in my life are reaching some strangely cubistic stability.
My desire to try out new ideas within my faith in God have truly allowed me to understand myself better and take more indepth analyses of my being. This sounds like a technical thing, but it’s basically just me listening to soft music and thinking about what I want to be like in the future and how God fits into my ‘life dream,’ perse. I am finding so much comfort and awkward realism in the poetry of John Keats. I came across his work within my research paper in College English. Keats has some fascinating sense of realism and a struggle to desire things that will last. While I’ve yet to find any reference to him being a Christian or having some deist belief, Keats understands the basic truth that we will never escape the clutches of inevitability and finality. I am looking, from the viewpoint, into myself to see what I truly am living for. What am I becoming?
This is not to say I’ve been depressed or something about the mishaps of my life. No, in fact, I’ve found solace and encouragement from friends and my faith. People like Rianna and Jeremiah influence me in phenominal ways, showing me that progression is to be desired more than perfection. So I can honestly say that life is better than it was. Beauty is truth, truth beauty. And that is the only thing that really matters.
Sunday I went to see Two Weeks Notice with Kristine. Great movie! I’ve yet to see a bad Hugh Grant film. Acting is simply near perfect and humor is more than effervescent from the beginning. And great commentary and conversation with Kristine during the movie made it even more enjoyable. 6.7 out of 10.
