Today is going to be a beautiful day
That is the title of a song I just heard *live* tonite - by a group called mellowdrones. They are different, and the name is so right on. Mellow - drones. I heard about the group from a friend, weepy donut (see sidebar) - way cooler and hipster than yours truly - but I digress - I'm seeing another side of NYC life and I like IT! Music, indie-music in particular, is a fascinating new world...and I'm now avidly seeking out new artists, musicians and music thru my myspace (a.k.a, lovejesus) site. Check it out.
I think this was precipitated by the new year move to begin formal guitar lessons - I had always played a little bit, but want to be able to pick it up a notch, so after lesson 3, I can seriously say I'm STOKED! I love the guitar and I am more excited than words can say right now about rediscovering a passion for music/singing/composing than ever before. Fortunately, having had years of classical lessons helps (thanks, mom 'n dad). But it felt really, well, just like a dead-end to moosh ahead in the classical realm without exploring much about improvisation and *CREATING* after college. So...I think after giving formal music training a rest for a while, I'm now coming back to it - and coming to a new appreciation of what really lies at the heart of our energy, actions and things we do. The creative energy - that spark that makes us unique, human and unlike any other - what drives us to move, relate, create and just 'be' who we are - is something that I think many people tend to shut down - for many various reasons. I've had the fortune recently, though, of meeting some really interesting, amazingly talented and passionate people - who are in tune with their voice - their passion and the uniqueness of who God has made them to be. I notice that people with these qualities aren't afraid to be, well, who they really are! even if it means being a little odd, off the norm, strange...for example, checkout: the odd lamb and his interview, here.
I'm not sure this is all making any sense right now. Just wanted to share. New discoveries. I'm so excited about what God's doing here - maybe it's the movement of the Holy Spirit, but whoa-yeah. I don't think it's coincidence that He's brought me in contact recently with crazy-cool-passionate Jesus-lovin' people - who are quirrkkkyyy - I love that - and in tune with my own heart's desire to sing, make music, and live in color/with a whole new beat on life.
I love NYC!!!!! I love JESUS. I love my friends.

We're Going to Be Friends
I just heard this song for the first time and...I like it.
if only things were this simple. It reminds me of when I was a little girl making friends - was the most exciting and scary thing in the world...
"We're Going to Be Friends" by the White Stripes
Fall is here, hear the yell
back to school, ring the bell
brand new shoes, walking blues
climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we're going to be friends
Walk with me, Suzy Lee
through the park and by the tree
we will rest upon the ground
and look at all the bugs we found
then safely walk to school
without a sound
Well here we are,no one else
we walked to school all by ourselves
there's dirt on our uniforms
from chasing all the ants and worms
we clean up and now its time to learn
Numbers, letters, learn to spell
nouns, and books, and show and tell
at playtime we will throw the ball
back to class, through the hall
teacher marks our height
against the wall
And we don't notice any time pass
we don't notice anything
we sit side by side in every class
teacher thinks that I sound funny
but she likes the way you sing
Tonight I'll dream while I'm in bed
when silly thoughts go through my head
about the bugs and alphabet
and when I wake tomorrow I'll bet
that you and I will walk together again
cause I can tell that we're going to be friends

Happy New Year and other news
2008! Happy new year to everyone. May it be blessed.
In other news, I came across an interesting article in which Richard Dawkins is quoted as calling himself a "cultural Christian."
Just in case you don't feel like clicking on the link to the article above, here is the full article below:
Asked by a British member of Parliament if he is one of those atheists who wants to get rid of Christian symbols especially during the Christmas season, atheist Richard Dawkins replied that he is not. Dawkins said that he himself sings Christmas carols and that he considers himself a "cultural Christian." Just as many Jews regard themselves as Jewish, defend Jewish interests and cherish Jewish culture while not participating in Jewish religious rituals, Dawkins says that he respects the fact that the history and traditions of the West are shaped by Christianity. Dawkins says he's not one of those who wants to purge the West of its Christian traditions. The main threat to Christian symbols, Dawkins argues, does not come from atheists like him but rather from Muslims and members of other faiths.
Now this is quite remarkable. In The God Delusion, Dawkins portrayed the Christian God as a wicked, avaricious, capricious, genocidal maniac. Dawkins even blasted Jesus for such offenses as speaking harshly to his mother. Yet if the Jewish and Christian God was such a monster, what sense does it make for Dawkins to embrace the cultural influence of that deity? It would be like someone saying, "Hitler was a murderous maniac, but I am a cultural Nazi. No, I don't embrace the specifics of Nazi doctrine, but I appreciate what fascism has done to shape German culture. Let's give up the specifics of the Hitler program, but let's also keep Nazi culture along with the fuhrer's imagery on our coins and monuments."
Dawkins is not an unintelligent man, so what's going on here? One possibility is that Dawkins now recognizes that today's atheists who want to get rid of Christian symbols are just as intolerant as Christians who in the pst sought to deny atheists a voice in the public arena. So Dawkins' statement can be read as a critique of intolerance and political correctness.
A second possibility is that Dawkins now sees the Muslim threat to the West--and especially European culture--as more serious than the prospect of a second Christian Inquisition, so he has decided to ally with the Christians against the Islamic radicals. Other atheists like Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens are now admitting that atheist attempts to equate Islamic extremism with Christianity are bogus. The real threat doesn't come from Presbyterianism or Anglicanism but from a radical Islam that wants to obliterate Western civilization.
I suspect that these two factors may have played a role, but the main reason for Dawkins' remarkable self-identification as a cultural Christian is that he has slowly come to realize that even the values that he cherishes--values such as individual dignity, science as an autonomous enterprise, the equal dignity of women, the abolition of slavery, and compassion as a social virtue--came into the West because of Christianity. I have been hammering this point in my debates with leading atheists, and it's possible that one of the Oxford historians came up to Dawkins and said, to his horror, "You know, Richard, that D'Souza chap has a point."
Okay, so let's give this biologist credit for learning a little history. Still, the deeper question remains. If the God of the Old and New Testaments is such a bad character, how come his cultural influence is so positive? Absent a good answer to this question, we must reconsider the premise: perhaps the God of the Old and New Testaments is not the evil figure portrayed in atheist propaganda. On the contrary, perhaps all our Western notions of good and bad derive from no source other than this Christian God. This certainly was Nietzsche's view, and he knew a lot more about the subject than Richard Dawkins. Wouldn't it be interesting if Dawkins continues his intellectual growth and reverses his old misunderstandings? Then he can reissue his book: Overcoming My Delusions: Confessions of a Cultural Christian.

My sister's thoughts on designer genes, the Wizard of Oz (musical) and Lukas...
I'm importing this blog from my sister's, because, it's just well, read it. I don't know if it's because she's my sister, but I find myself being amazed by her character, her talents as a writer, amazing insights and way of looking at the world, day by day, and I've known her for a long time...
Her other entry(ies) may be found linked on the sidebar at "alithea."
***
So there's something called the Consensus Theory of Truth, which states the following: "That which is universal among men carries the weight of truth." I was reminded of this after watching the musical "Wicked", a clever tale that reveals the untold story of the Wicked Witch and Glinda the Good from The Wizard of Oz. You learn from very early on in the show that the Wicked Witch was indeed not wicked. She had the misfortune of being born green, but was otherwise like any other girl - and surpassed her peers in her sense of justice, intelligence, and desire to do good. But as she found that authority was not on her side, she was branded as 'wicked' and the people of Oz were made to believe the most horrific things about her.
This idea of perception was a topic of conversation between me and Mark. Bad driving is something we encounter often. What really bothers us, however, is when someone else on the road seems to think that WE are the bad driver when we are clearly in the right and are, furthermore, a bad person - and unleashes an expletive or gesture of some kind to tell us so. Case in point: As I was driving up a local road, a white car started approaching me in reverse. I thought for sure the driver didn't see me, and decided that the best thing to do for both our sakes was to honk. Now most car horns sound the same, but that there are ways people put some emotion into them. If they're really mad, they plant the palm of their hand on horn and honk like it's going out of style. Mine was not one of those honks. It was, if you will, quite a friendly honk (I know you've thought about how to honk half-apologetically). So when she screeched next to me, stuck her head out of the window and called me the 5-letter word for a female dog, I was stunned. This woman had taken a benign honk and had translated it into a threat of some kind coming from "a malicious, unpleasant, selfish woman" (dictionary.com). I decided that she needed to be informed that her perception of what my honk meant was absolutely misguided. I put my car in reverse to get alongside hers, rolled down my window and got her attention.
"Excuse me, but I was honking because I didn't think you saw me, that's all."
She looked at me with a blank expression.
"Oh," she said with a shrug, and proceeded to get out of her car and walk away. A part of me was expecting an apology, but I wasn't surprised to not get one. I was satisfied enough to have enlightened her for just a moment. Perhaps I spared another well-intentioned honker the unwelcome verbal garbage that was tossed my way.
But there is another, ongoing experience with perception that lingers with me in a way that the first story doesn't. My son has an extra 21st chromosome. He has Trisomy 21, otherwise known as Down Syndrome. I know what my perceptions were about about people with Down Syndrome at the point of my son's diagnosis. I was prepared to learn the truths and myths, all the while keeping in mind that this boy was still half of me and half of my husband, just like any other baby. But what I wasn't prepared for were the heartfelt condolences I got from others as I shared the news. I was 19 weeks pregnant when I found out. I went through the grieving process, and eventually not only came to the point of acceptance, but of fully embracing what God had given me. But others had not. Their perceptions hung on what limited knowledge they had of Down Syndrome. There were people asking me why I didn't have an abortion, wondering out loud to me if my husband and I were 'compatible,' remarking how they knew someone who got the same diagnosis and how depressed they were. There was another group of responses that tagged us as saints, as if there were only a 'select' group of people that could possibly handle a child such as ours.
I knew they meant well, but here's the truth: no one who meets my son would dare apologize for who he is. He has a smile and laugh that is infectious. His mild temperament has - at least for a moment - been the envy of many moms whose children are raging to and fro, crying for no apparent reason. His eyebrows are shaped like those of a woman who just paid $50 to get hers waxed. Strangers who have no clue about his enhanced genes gawk at his beauty. He can give you the biggest ego boost if you decide to make a silly face. He loves to laugh, clap, dance, and cuddle. He loves to live.
Despite these truths, I know will continue to be pitied for who he is. What people have perceived about Down Syndrome has in large part come from what they have seen and heard. One might argue, 'Seeing is believing" or "Hearing is believing." But there are people who cannot see or cannot hear, yet have such strong faith.
Our perceptions cannot be simply based on body parts that we can live without: eyes, ears, hands. After all, there are plenty of people who can see but lead their lives as if they are blind. Our bodily senses cannot determine the worth of any life. Any meaningful experience that is initially taken in through our non-vital senses can only find its meaning in what is vital - our hearts, our minds. So I'll relish in my son's extra chromosome - 'designer genes' I like to call it. Because the truth is that anyone who encounters him cannot help but love him.
In my imagination I send my son into the Land of Oz, where senses prevail over the heart. Here comes that Down Syndrome baby, they might whisper. Just spend some time with at him, I tell the people. Allow the sheer delight of this child to enter in, and you'll learn to feel again.
