Day 222: 4/20/12 - "Away From the Sun"

It's down to this

I've got to make this life make sense

Can anyone tell what I've done

I miss the life

I miss the colors of the world

Can anyone tell where I am

'Cause now again I've found myself

So far down, away from the sun

That shines into the darkest place

I'm so far down, away from the sun again

Away from the sun again

I'm over this

I'm tired of living in the dark

Can anyone see me down here

The feeling's gone

There's nothing left to lift me up

Back into the world I know...

It's down to this

I've got to make this life make sense

And now I can't tell what I've done

'Cause now again I've found myself

So far down, away from the sun

That shines into the darkest place

I'm so far down, away from the sun

That shines to light the way for me

To find my way back into the arms

That care about the ones like me

I'm so far down, away from the sun again"

The Things That Don't Make Sense: There are many things about this world that do not make sense to me, but the things that stick out the most are the ones that are also senseless.  What do I mean by senseless?  When people do things that they did not have to do, knowing full well that they should not do them.  Don't get me wrong - I've been a perpetrator of senseless acts before, but the only person hurt by them was me.  When other people do senseless things that hurt other people, then they have entered a realm of selfishness and stupidity that just cannot be explained, but must be endured by the ones who have been victimized.  I don't think that our world has to be rid of senseless acts.  But I do think it would be much better if the only senseless acts that happened were ones that only hurt the person stupid enough to do them.

When Friends Crochet: I received a beautiful blanket from one of my library world friends today and I was nearly overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness of her gesture.  You could see that she put a lot of work into the blanket and it's so big that it actually fits me!  I hope she knows that she is now on my knit list (the list of people in line to get something homemade from me.  The list is pretty long but I'm sure I'll get to everyone before 2015!  Here are pictures of the blanket.  Just my size!
