“The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the LORD is sure,
making wise the simple;
the precepts of the LORD are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the LORD is pure,
enlightening the eyes;
the fear of the LORD is clean,
enduring forever;
the rules of the LORD are true,
and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold,
even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey
and drippings of the honeycomb.
Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.”
— Psalm 19:7-11
Andy Grammer always brings back fun memories :)
Beneath the Fold: What does love look like?
Love always looks like something. Love is conceptually simple but incredibly difficult to carry out. It is mostly subtle and therefore can easily be missed. But the opportunities are plentiful. Love looks like obedience. Love looks like smiling at strangers as they walk busily by and catching them…
Oh mi belly.
“Writing and reading decrease our sense of isolation. They deepen and widen and expand our sense of life: they feed the soul. When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored. We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again. It’s like singing on a boat during a terrible storm at sea. You can’t stop the raging storm, but singing can change the hearts and spirits of the people who are together on that ship.”
— Anne Lamott
This was the week I watched Beginners twice in the span of five days, just because it was that good. I loved the way the story unwrapped itself, Melanie Laurent’s effortless character, Christopher Plummer’s unabashed honesty, and Ewan McGregor well, because he’s Ewan McGregor. (Have you seen Moulin Rouge?)
And that dog, how can you resist that dog. And the impeccable design and pretty shots that inevitably come from having a graphic-designer-turned-director. (Berkeley native might I add, w00tw00t) Finally, the soundtrack is the kind you can listen to all day and not realize you had on loop for over 10 times. I listen to it at work, in the car, on the computer, everywhere! Soundtrack post to come soon.
Watch on redbox for a $1, if you’re lazy like I was last week dl from iTunes :)
