Happy St Patrick's Day 2012

Happy St Patrick's Day 2012

It is good to be back after a rough 'ol week healthwise, combined with spiritual dryness.


I felt no consolation in prayer, or from the world,  just a painful weight and hollow feeling of God's absence, but despite these emotions, never has my lack of feeling become a lack of faith that God exists.

 I have been grappling with that sick anxiety from the feeling that I'm rubbish at it all; and unable to reflect because of a stultifying mental paralysis.

Lovely !! 


I didn't even want to check my blog for several days, but when I read the lovely comments and e.mails and felt the support of people who took time to write and show their care and concern, it was wonderfully healing. Thank you so much.
This song by Mumford and Sons formerly known as 'Untitled', is now referred to as 'Nothing Is Written.'

Maybe I was meant to be allowed to feel something of the absence of God this week.


Lyrics

I came home
Like a stone
And I fell heavy into your arms
These days of dust
Which we've known
Will blow away with this new sun


And I'll kneel down
Wait for now
And I'll kneel down
Wait for now

So break my step
And relent
You forgave and I won't forget
Know what we've seen
And him with less
Now in some way
Shake the excess


And I'll kneel down
Wait for now
And I'll kneel down
Know my ground

Now I'll be bold
As well as strong
Use my head alongside my heart
So take my flesh
And fix my eyes
That tethered mind free from the lies

And I'll kneel down
Wait for now
And I'll kneel down

Know my ground
And I'll kneel down
Wait for now

Raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Keep my heart slow

And raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Keep my heart slow
