What Can Your Idol Do?#*Can it love you like God loves you, with a love that is better than life? / Can it connect you to eternal beauty? Can it save you? Can it redeem you? / Can it lift you out of the miry pit? Can it make you clean enough to finally feel acceptable?

OpiaOpia. Noun. The ambiguous intensity of looking into someone's eyes, which can fell simultaneously invasive and vulnerable. / As you lie in my arms, watching the television, you don't notice that my undivided attention is focused on you. Something I've been dreaming of for weeks, and it's finally come true. Even better, from your angle, you can't see me staring into your eyes, so I don't feel the nervous compulsion to turn away. Whether directly or not, I could drink in your eyes with mine, for hours, and they would be among the best hours of my life. / Then there's the other hand, held tightly by trepidation. I love the prospect of your eyes staring into mine, but it's not without its fears. I'm afraid you'll see all the pain and fears that I've spent the past seven years working to overcome. I'm afraid you'll see all the insecurity and doubts I have about myself. I'm afraid you'll see all the words that I long to whisper in your ear, but can't, because I'm terrified of scaring you away. I'm afraid you won't like the fact that, behind these eyes lies only pictures and thoughts of you. But most of all, I'm afraid that, unlike me, who loves every detail, and lives for moments like these, you won't love the things you see. I long for the day when you stare happily into my eyes, but I'm frightened that you won't enjoy the secrets they reveal.

Wrestling at Peniel#*It's at the point of desperation that the soul finds its deepest desire, / and in that desire lies everything of which true life is made. / Perhaps the first and central question concerning surrender

"She was an angel craving chaos, he was a demon seeking peace"Together they were the perfect team. / She was tired of perfection long before she met him. Constantly having to put up a successful front was exhausting, but her barrier of bravado was faltering. / It's hard to find imperfections in an idyllic world.
