For Those With Earbuds To Hear

In the equipping of the my soon to be Kindle Fire, I bought some higher-end earbuds. Could be a highly premature purchase if the Kindle Fire doesn't materialize for awhile. I am on a wait list. At least Amazon did not send the leather case for the ebook (and then some) reader before I actually have it in my possession. That would be like having a mug with no beer.

To break in the earbuds I was instructed to go to manufacturer website and connect to a page that essentially was a cacophony all-over-the-aural spectrum sounds. It sounded like a Mt. Dewed R2D2 was broadcasting through the earbuds. 40 hours was the prescribed time to marinate the earbuds--seasoning them sufficiently through sound stretching, up and down and all-around. Like Yoga. It supposedly provides a richer sound post-hence if I employed the protocol. I gave up the intravenous sound infusion after 24 hours...last night I had some really weird dreams with the sounds as the score and wanted to get back to listening to Spotify with the earbuds through the sound jack on my lap top.

Got me thinking about the experiences God sends our way or permits to enter into our souls. A lot of it is adversity noise...weird discordant odd sound events, stressing and stretching me to the hilt. Sometimes I just feel like a damn-breaking...one more teaspoon of trouble and I am just going over the banks of balance. Then, God brings peace for a spell, and afterwards, more sounds come, ready or not.

The end goal of God: To make our souls expansive.

Shake the Dust: Anis Mojgani

Pslam 90:2 "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God." I am not real certain where Anis Mojgani comes from belief-wise. Cats like him tend to be synchrestic spiritually rather than Christ-centered. Yet, this poem captures the spirit of Jesus. What this poem also needs is grace....we shake off sin and mortality and take on Christ and immortality. This is for the fat girls This is for the little brothers For the former prom queen And for the milk crate ball players This is for the school yard wimps And the childhood bullies that tormented them Shake the dust. This is for the benches and the people sitting upon them. This is for the bus drivers driving a million broken hymns And for the men who have to hold down 3 jobs, Simply to hold up their children. For the nighttime schoolers And for the midnight bike riders trying to fly Shake the dust. For the two year olds who cann

White Shoes, White Stones

Rev 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knoweth but he that receiveth it. (ASV) With the white stone mentioned above in the Scripture verse, "And will give him a white stone" it is "Supposed that by the white stone is meant pardon or acquittance, and the evidence of it; and that there is an allusion here to the custom observed by judges in ancient times, who were accustomed to give their suffrages by white and black pebbles; those who gave the former were for absolving the culprit, those who gave the latter were for his condemnation." (Clarke) What has brought about this essay was my purchasing the other day of some very white and new Nike jogging shoes. My old pair of Nike's have been worn down. I was developing serious pain in my feet which is a solid sign that it is t

Going Rogue: Dare, Risk, Dream

Image
I picked up a bumper sticker at a Pub recently from the Rogue Brewery . On it there are the words: DARE, RISK, DREAM. Typically, the word Rogue is a negative term. I will let you decide if Sarah Palin and her book has made the word less or more so. Initially, I taped the bumper sticker to my computer lap top with the backing still on it in case I wanted to remove it. Just a second ago, I committed fully, and pulled the backing off and affixed it to my Dell. No turning back. Is that not an illustration of how to accomplish great things? We have to stick and commit. If we go taping ourselves to the backs of things, it leads to easier removal but also to tepid efforts. Now, if I take this bumper sticker off the back of my lap top it is going to be a mess...I am all in. Consequences be damned. My summer vacation officially began today at noon (why else would I be blogging at 3:26 am?) and my creed for the summer is DARE, RISK, DREAM. A Kerouac quote to light the fireworks... "Great th
