This may be it. I think this is the cause I want to give my life to. Watching these videos stirs up something in my soul that I've never really felt before. I think it's passion. I think I'm really excited. I think I need to pray a lot more about this.
I love you. I believe in the way you love. That's what this is about, not just a feeling, but a commitment. Something that moves your soul even when your soul doesn't feel like it. I'm a fan of Willa Cather, this American author who wrote stuff sometime last century. She wrote this story called Neighbor Rosicky about this old farmer with a failing heart who knew how to really love people. There's a line in the story that describes Rosicky. It goes something like this: Like an artist's eye for color and a musician's ear for melody, his heart was made to love. He loved in action. He was a hero. I wish I could remember how it went exactly. I just remember being impressed and thinking that I want to actively love in recognizable ways. Your heart was made to love. Be afraid if you can't help it, but be a hero no matter what. Love146.
Go on then. I believe in you. So what are you going to do about it?
ReplyDeleteThe videos didn't work on my computer here in Argentina, so I definitely want to watch them sometime. I'm glad they inspired you
ReplyDeleteWow, Tara.
ReplyDeleteDo it Tara! Do it. I know you can.

ReplyDeleteI wish I plop down on our black couch and hear all of your thoughts. I was moved. I love you. I'm praying for you.
