John C. Adams. Meteoric Shower as Seen off Cape Florida. 1891

* * * * *

“The encounter with God does not come to man in order that he may henceforth attend to God but in order that he may prove its meaning in action in the world. All revelation is a calling and a mission. But again and again man shuns actualization and bends back toward the revealer: he would rather attend to God than to the world. Now that he has bent back, however, he is no longer confronted by a You; he can do nothing but place a divine It in the realm of things, believe that he knows about God as an It, and talk about him. Even as the egomaniac does not live anything directly, whether it be a perception or an affection, but reflects on his perceiving or affectionate I and thus misses the truth of the process, thus the theomaniac (who, incidentally, can get along very well with the egomaniac in the very same soul) will not let the gift take full effect but reflects instead on that which gives, and misses both.  

When you are sent forth, God remains presence for you; whoever walks in his mission always has God before him: the more faithful the fulfillment, the stronger and more constant the nearness. Of course, he cannot attend to God but he can converse with him. Bending back, on the other hand, turns God into an object. It appears to be a turning toward the primal ground, but belongs in truth to the world movement of turning away, even as the apparent turning away of those who fulfill their mission belongs in truth to the world movement of turning toward.”

― Martin Buber, I and Thou

Someone: Hey, are you okay?

Me, internally: The SAW The Musical thing was supossed to be a joke but now I'm three songs deep into writing a musical for it and one of them is already finished. I want to publish it on Tumblr but to properly display the tone, pacing and instrumental make up of the songs I would have to record myself singing them and playing my guitar to it. And I am far to insecure about it. But I am so proud of the songs, too. They are really creative and I overcame my issue with using the same rhythm for all the songs I write. What do I do?

Me: Yeah, sure.

#I have 'The Fucking Irony of It' finished which is the song Adam sings after Lawrence left him and didn't come back for him #He goes from joking about the irony of this whole situation to reminiscing about his life to being angry at John and Lawrence #To realising that he will just end up as another corpse down there and accepting his fate #I have also started 'A is for Apple B is for Bye' which is sung by Diana as she waits for Lawrence to rescue them #It has the line 'C is for Clown and D is for Di' as in a nickname for Diana and then mirrors that in the second verse with #'C is for CLown and D is for die' as she gets increasingly fearful #and I have 'Click Flash Done' about Adam following LAwrence and taking pics and it ends with 'Click Flash Gone' just before he's kidnapped #and I really want to publish it but there is a musical on twitter i think so i'm scared of being accused of being a copy cat or smth #and Idk if I want to upload me singing it #saw #saw 2004 #saw the musical #my post #original post #Adam Stanheight #lawrence gordon #diana gordon #textpost
