Mild Admiration

things I find interesting...

There’s more of the Spirit and more of God than any of us is experiencing. I want to go there—not just intellectually, but in life, with everything that I am.

Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shhh’ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep, feel it all – look around you. All of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love.

Treat your ears right. Listen to this track.

‘The Shape of Us’ by Ian Britt 

You’re no longer alone. 
We’ve found a space to name our own. 
There aint no need to fret or fuss. 
We’ve got all the strength we need in the shape of us. 

And I know you’ve had it tough. 
Your road’s been bumpy and rough. 
But say goodbye to a world that you once knew. 
I have every faith in me and you. 

Hold my hand. 
Hold my heart. 
Let go your fear. 
Darling I will always be here. 

I never felt quite so at home. 
Your sweet caress is the best I’ve known. 
Now that I’ve proved to you that I’m worthy of your trust. 
Let us build a world in the shape of us. 

Chorus. 

Darling I will always be here.

Kristen Bell leapfrogged towards the top of my celebrity crush list.  What I really love about her and this clip is that she’s the one offering it up.  It wasn’t like this was a hidden private video that Ellen found, but Kristen brought it to the show.

Beautiful.

John Hughes’ commentary: The closer he looks at the child, the less he sees…The more he looks at it, there’s nothing there and I think he fears that the more you look at him, the less you see—there isn’t anything there. That’s him.

John Hughes’ films are not just cheap teenage jokes or fluff.  That’s the deep right there.
