The Universal Need

"You've got to hear this one song. It'll change you're life, I swear."  -Garden State

I'm kind of a music snob (in the words of my friend Neisha), and I often come across amazing songs I want the whole world to hear. So what better place than here! This particular one is a favorite of mine, and it truly reflects the heart of Christ. Just press play on the ipod at the bottom. Enjoy.


Everybody
by Ingrid Michaelson

We have fallen down again tonight,
In this world it's hard to get it right.
Trying to make your heart fit like a glove,
What you need is love, love, love.

Everybody, everybody wants to love,
Everybody, everybody wants to be loved.

Happy is the heart that still feels pain,
Darkness drains and light will come again.
Swing open up your chest and let it in,
Just let the love, love, love begin.

Everybody knows the love,
Everybody holds the love,
Everybody folds for love.

Everybody feels the love,
Everybody steals the love,
Everybody heals with love.

Just let the love, love, love begin

Dare to Risk

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach for another is to risk involvement.
To expose your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To believe is to risk failure.

But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The people who risk nothing, have nothing, do nothing, are nothing. They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live. Chained by their attitudes, they are slaves; they have forfeited their freedom.

Only a person who risks is free.
