The Quickest Instant

It seems to me that love can come in the most obscure forms. I like this, because it challenges my working definitions of what love is to me. I know that alot of my sight has been darkened, that alot of my heart has been muddied by the culture in which I reside. I know that it is harder for me to judge what is right to do, then inturn to do it. Beyond that, to get something that was not my hope, but as far as it stands for that moment, it is the most loving thing the creator knew to do for me. I am loved deeply. I am loved beyond my own perception of love, and it hurts, but I recieve its goodness, because my love is short sighted, not patient, always envious, always boastful, and always puts me before everything else. This love will end. The love I recieve will not only change my life in the quickest instant, but all those around me as well. The Quickest Instant and it all changes.

Cant Lose You (solo Acoustic) - Derek Webb



On a slightly different note, I've started including a song in every blog. Music that has been important to me at some point, whether now or years ago. Today I bring to you a vid from Derek Webb called "Can't lose you". I first heard this song when I was a freshman in high school. From then onward it would be stapled to my heart foreshadowing something that is only coming into view now more than 6 years later. Comment and Enjoy :-)
