Peace

Peace like a river

How can peace like a river
Flow to the depths of the sea?
Flow to the depths of me?

I need peace like a river
To flow to the depths of the sea.
To flow to the depths of me.

I found peace,
Peace like a river.
It flows to the depths of the sea.
It flows to the depths of me

God is peace,
Peace like a river.
He flows to the depths of the sea.
He flows to the depths of me.

I found peace,
He flows to the depths of me.

I'm not sure how it happened. I never wanted to climb the corporate ladder. It seems as if one day I awoke to find that I was carrying a soft leather brief case to work, sporting an ipod on my hip, and wondered how I got here. I have always carefully chosen jobs that were not steady. I was a waitress and good at it. I choose a position where I could have freedom in my schedule and take off at will. I am a traveler at heart, you see. I suppose that one day my wallet became incensed at it's miss treatment and began to protest at rather loud volumes. So it was that I sold my freedom for a bit of security in a steady paycheck. I must have forgotten my valued quote from good old Ben: "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. " -Ben Franklin Now the trick is to gain freedom, which is ever so illusive, even when you are severed from your "Thy rope of sands, Which petty thoughts have made, and made to...

I have always know that I am a blunt person. Sometimes I begin to wonder if this is a good or bad thing. I was recently in a conversation in which a guy was asking if something he had done was rude. We asked for some context and what he said was basicly this: He asked a girl what impressed her, then backed up and explained that guys found her attractive. He let that sink in and when she was feeling flattered he clairified that he had not said that he found her attractive.(when in reality he did find her attractive) He went on to explain that guys seemed to do stupid things in order to impress her and he didn't think she was impressed. Ok, so I wanted to know why he couldn't just say I see that guys do stupid things in an attempt to impress you, are you really impressed? Why not be strait forward. He said you can't just do that. I know that girls play games and that some guys do to, but untill this conversation, I had not realized how prevlent these manipulations were in pla...

Feet. My feet are itching to walk. And not just walk but hike and backpack. These are things that I have loved for a long time and yet in all the rat race that is the City Life I have trampled on these desires for a long time. Going and seeing Colorado broke open something inside of me and now the yearning for something else has come alive, full of promise. I'm going to hike on Friday and yet it doesn't seem enough to go and hike at the local lake trail... I want to put in a good 15 or 20 mile hike and then camp leaving more walking out before you, more to anticipate. It's funny how when you stay in a place for too long how you achieve such a false sense of security as well as a fear of what is out there. The longer you stay put the greater the fear. Some times an all consuming and rarely rational (even when based on rational reasoning, the fear remains out of proportion.) fear that is crippling. I don't feel much of that fear and yet I still feel crippled, confined. Th...
