About Me
- Name: Feanor
- Location: The Hill, Texas, Suriname
First and foremost I love God, everything else is an afterthought. That said, being a mediocre poet and a horrendous singer, who loves to sing and longs to write truly awsome poetry is only bearable if that person is me, which it is. Life is still good.

they don't hold a candle to love
c s lewis:
"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."
"God has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense."
"God will look to every soul like its first love because He is its first love."
"'Safe?' said Mr. Beaver...'Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. but he's good. He's the King, I tell you.'"
To love is to be vulnerable, Cabbage. To be vulnerable is to give the opportunity for sorrow, pain, death, vomit etc. to come upon you. All that can be surmounted, will be surmounted, but still, is there. Love is pain, even if it be a good pain, and pain hurts, sometimes vera bad.
'Tis true, my friend. I did not wish at all to minimize your pain, which is perhaps more bitter than I can tell right now.
If I seemed abrupt it was only because I wanted to seize the candle, toss it into the air, and show the gilded roof that overhangs a dark path. Forgive a well intentioned, if misguided, jolt.
And I know that you and I don't really disagree anyway, (the shadow proves the sunshine, two sides of the same coin). In the end we're both just pointing to where truth and mercy mix together and righteousness kisses peace.

I love you Cabbage, you're always wise.
Not right now Peter darling, things will probably be okay in a few weeks, so I'd rather not spread a detailed account of my woe across the web, but I do appreciate your concern, and I hope you will pray for me.
