Home is where the heart is

Home isWhere the heart resides to find comfort and understanding...
the night is cold and dank as i wake from a nightmare
to calm my senses i ask for reasons and then drown it out with white noise
i remember a time when i slept in your arms without fear
and when i call out your name you answered me
now i am lost in a world of dreams and you no longer lay next to me
do you even remember what it was like, lovers wrapped around each other
you thought i was strength but you were the glue that held us together
the road of life is long and I am weak, you were hope to fill my despair.
and all i ask that you dance with me in the rain and kiss my tears away

"Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you today my friends - so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. This will be the day, this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning "My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my father's died, land of the Pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring!" And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ringfrom the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania. Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado. Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California. But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia. Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee. Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi - from every mountainside. Let freedom ring. And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring - when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children - black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles,Protestants and Catholics - will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

Latter Days movie

Latter Days...
I don't believe in coincidence. These days, I believe in miracles.
"Well, when I was a little kid, I use to put my nose right up to comic strips. And I was just amazed because it looked like this mass of dots, and none of it made sense until I pulled back. Life looks like that mass of dots to me sometimes. None of it makes any sense, but I like to think that, from God's perspective, life, everything - even this - make sense. It's not just dots. Instead we're all connected, and it's beautiful and funny and good. This close we can't expect it to make sense, not right now. "
What if it's not something I've done? What if it's who I am?
He won your soul for a lousy $50
I'm just not suffering enough yet. I didn't expect to see you again.
Look, whatever you thought, don't. We're colors and whites. We don't mix.
Well, I'm already going to Hell for kissing you, so I may as well take the scenic route.

Guilt distracts us from a greater truth - that we have an inherent ability to heal. We seem intent on living through even the worst heartbreak. How? Practice, [she pours him another drink] and one more for practice. Remember, that which doesn't kill us -sometimes leaves us maimed for life. But the only way to find out is to face it head-on.

I've say were the original definition of 'alternative lifestyle.' Are you calling us hypocrites? Oh no, we've gone way beyond hyocrisy, Dad; now, we're just being mean.
Your church doesn't like alcohol or homosexuals. Hmm... Well, I definitely won't be joining. Can't imagine heaven without both.
Yeah. And what if everything has changed like that... and lions lay down with lambs and colors mix with whites. What if you're the one that I've been waiting for my whole life and I let you go?Me, telling you I love you, right here, in the snow? I think that is pretty miraculous. But if you don't... I'll go. I'll walk and you can pretend that this was just some coincidence. You can pretend there wasn't some reason that we met, and that you're sorry I ever walked into you life. But what if you're not? Huh? What if everything in my entire pathetic life, which I happen to love, has led to this point? Right here, right now. What if you're the blinding light in the middle of the road that strikes me. I'm sorry, I'm not very good at this. See, I've never made a fool out of myself in front of anyone before. But I've never felt this way before about anyone in my entire life.

But is that anything you can build a life on? Look at yourself. You're so pretty and colorful on the outside, but inside you're nothing but fluff. You're like a walking, talking marshmallow Peep! Hey... that not fair. When it's true, it doesn't matter. I can't believe what I was about to do, when there is nothing, Christian, nothing about you that's not skin-deep.
