screaming sounds

society gone mad

children in tantrums

in fits without respite

music polluting

boggling our ears

fouling the day

corrupting the night

mooching off death

cause Life isn't sung

*Reflections of Alan Jones:

  -...being in a perpetual state of revolt is another way of remaining under the spell of our past.

  -No one can live entirely without an appeal to the authority of a story or text, and authority always has something to do with what we think is the truth.

  -A new story is possible when something happens to us to break the force of habit and recover our power to choose.  We have a choice with regard to how we live in the world; each of us has a personal covenant with life and with God that is shaped by a story.

  -One way to get at these hidden covenants is to ask, "What is my unforgivable sin?"
