About Me

My photo
Perhaps I'll sail around the world; go on a pilgrimage. I'd like to see what's out there, what I am missing. Maybe ink up, open a tea shop, and publish my music. But a goal's just a wish without plans.

I Love Autumn

This season comes with so many feelings. It is both warm and cold. The leaves are bright and happy... though the sky is grey.

The other night a good friend invited me out to a worship night at a nearby college. It was wonderful. I looked out the window at one point and realized that though it was cold out at the time, just a few hours ago it had been a warm afternoon. Things are changing drastically. We haven't had weather this bizarre since 1945, says the local newspaper.

But as I looked into the night sky brazed by the fog... I thought about God.
God's picture must be like the sky. Sometimes I like to think of his eyes being the universe in it's entity.
The sky is always changing, and in yet some sense it is consistent. It is always there. It isn't always what we want it to be, but it's what we need it to be.

We haven't had rain in weeks.

We don't necessarily like the rain.

Nonetheless we need it immensely. The grass is brittle and the air is quite dry.

I was figuring during worship that God is quite a mystery in a sense, because we have not physically seen Him. I trust He is there. That is what faith is for. I know He is because of the feelings and happenings that have occurred over the past few months especially where I have felt His presence.

Faith is difficult to explain unless you have experienced it...so I shall not ramble too much on that note. Just this: the other day I was talking about someone dear to my heart... and I said something that my heart must have known for the past two years for sure, but has just now put words to. "Faith is an experience of enlightenment that no human can touch. It is in a place so deep within our souls that only the Enlightener can handle."

Back to what I was saying.

I love autumn. Specifically Autumn 2012. I have seen sunshine and felt cold and witnessed the changing of colours upon the beautiful trees. I do not despise the falling of leaves. It kind of reminds me of the natural state of things. Trees without leaves. Nothing to disguise their backbone or structure.

I love autumn because it's all the best wrapped into one phase. God's beauty is everywhere. Is unique persona. His mystery. It's in the clouded skies and the blank blue paint of a brisk morning.

It is an experience I wish to savour.

It is just beauty.

My Writings are Dying..... :P

Can you guys recommend any quotes? Who are the inspirational people in your life? I'm thinking of dedicating next week to quotes you draw muse from.
Go ahead and tell me.....there is no need to fear commenting on my blog :P :)


But, for now, it'll be Winston Churchill. :)

"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject." ~Winston Churchill.

Do Ponder.

"If we all fired our dreams into explosive bombs
Those dreams that'd be unleashed into a fatal sense of calm....
If we became our worst nightmare
And challenged every thought and every care....
If we all did what we did not dare
If we all walked a path unshared....

No....
no it would not be feared....
So there might be opprobrium from the hated and remorse....
But....no....
I do not think we'd be alone..."

~Jazzy. ;)

I want you guys to read this. It's from a fellow blogger I follow who always has something greatly motivating to say.....

"Elton John chases down his goal. He does not wait for inspiration. He does not wait for the moment to come to him. He chases it. He hunts it. He searches for it. He runs until his legs give out, then he runs some more.

If we as believers lived our lives this way, what could we achieve? If you ran your business this way, what could your business become? If you managed your relationships this way, what would you have?

Instead we sit and wait, thinking that greatness will find us.

Really, greatness doesn't come to the great. It comes to the one who runs the hardest. The one that runs until their feet blister.

How hard will you push yourself for success?"

Addio,
Jazz.
