"I don't Know What I Can Save You From"

"I Don't Know What I can Save You From"
You called me after midnight,
it must have been three years since we last spoke.
I slowly tried to bring back
the image of your face from the memories so old.
I tried so hard to follow,
but didn't catch a half of what had gone wrong,
said "I don't know what I can save you from. "
I don't know what I can save you from.
I asked you to come over,
and within half an hour,
you were at my door.
I had never really known you,
but I realized that the one you were before,
had changed into somebody for whom
I wouldn't mind to put the kettle on.
Still I don't know what I can save you from.
I don't know what I can save you from.

Kings of Convenience

A Bit of Color

Gray
Gray
Where is a red
A green
Something with color
Vibrancy
Expression?
Is it lost in the shadows of something grim or tragic
or hidden beneath the hum-drum of the day's distractions?
A candle blown out before the moment is right
A cloudy night when you wanna see the stars
Shine color!
Show your light.
I want bold, unabashed beauty before my eyes
So I can know what to touch and feel
What it's like to stare in awe, almost blinded
by something so real, so unafraid to stand out
I want to see greens and reds today
No grays

What I think could potentially help me sleep better at night

“When despair for the world grows in me, and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be -- I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought or grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.”

Wendell Berry

Aslan, the kind of king I'll follow

“Safe?” said Mr. Beaver…”Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.”

“’but you mustn’t press him, after all, he’s not a tame lion.’ ‘No, but he is good.’”


The God of the universe isn't a tame, weak god, he is a lion. I keep going back to these books my dad read to me as a little girl. Lewis picked an animal of the highest respect, power and strength. He is not safe or tame, but he is good!

I'll Never Let Go Of Your Hand

I know what you've been hearing
I've seen you hide your fear
Embarrassed by your weaknesses
Afraid to let me near
I wish you knew how much
I long for you to understand
No matter what may happen, child
I'll never let go of your hand

I know you've been forsaken
By all you've known before
When you failed their expectations
They frowned and closed the door
But even though your heart itself
Should lose the will to stand
No matter what may happen, child
I'll never let go of your hand

The life that I have given you
No one can take away
I've sealed it with my Spirit, Blood and Word
The everlasting Father
Has made His covenant with you
And He's stronger than the world you've seen and heard

So don't you fear to show them
All the love I have for you
I'll be with you everywhere
In everything you do
And even if you do it wrong
And miss the joy I've planned
I'll never, never let go of your hand

~Don Francisco
