That’s C.S. Lewis talking.

He’s right, love is vulnerable. It’s downright naked, our hearts on the line! It’s me waking up everyday and trying to tell you how much I care, hoping you care back. It’s me praying for you every single night because I care that much about you. It’s me writing to you, talking to you, turning everything over for you, coming back to you, leaving you, hurting you, apologizing to you! It’s everything that creates a stronger, more Godly bond between you and I.

Vulnerable? Yes we’re vulnerable. We’re putting ourselves into someone sinful, who might twist and mutate us, who might abandon us. To love you, though, second to loving God, is the greatest joy.

I want my heart strings tangled in your trees, all wrapped up.

The Elephant Man – 1980

Director – David Lynch

Starring – John Hurt, Anthony Hopkins and Anne Bancroft

Slow, cruel, and beautifully filmed.  These are the main adjectives I would use to describe David Lynch’s, The Elephant Man.  Set during the Victorian era in London, The Elephant Man tells the real life story of John Merrick, a seriously deformed man led from one freak show to another.  Anthony Hopkins stars as Frederick Treves, a doctor who takes it upon himself to rescue Mr. Merrick from the actual freakshow that he is performing in, puts him up in his hospital, and attempts to teach him civilized behavior.  Treves parades Merrick around, using his notoriety to advance his own reputation, all the while claiming to help him.

When word gets around that the “Elephant Man” (called this partially due to his appearance, and partially because his mother was mauled to death by an elephant) has gained a certain popularity with the upper crust, the owner of the freakshow (Bytes) comes back to collect his “treasure”.  Treves and Bytes play a game of tug-of-war with Merrick, neither considering him or his feelings in the least.  In terms of characters, Merrick himself played with a certain amount of humanity and grace by John Hurt, is the only character who really has any redeeming characteristics.  Despite his huge prosthetic make-up appliances, Hurt manages to imbue Merrick with a certain subtlety.

On the brightside, the film looked beautiful.  Shot in silky black and white, each characters shadowy nature plays itself out visually on the backdrop of dreary, foggy London.  Each of the set pieces is crawls with life, some of it unsettling and horrible, and some of it approaching dignity.  As the movie goes on, the mood, as well as the visual tone of the film grows subtly and slowly brighter.

Of the Lynch films that I’ve seen so far, I would have to say that this is smack in the middle.  It doesn’t reach the fantastic weird heights of films like Mulholland Drive, or Blue Velvet, but it doesn’t quite fall to the un-intelligable depths of Lost Highway, or Inland Empire.  If you’ve seen any of David Lynch’s other films, you will see some similarities but he clearly grew and matured since finishing this film.  Despite, or perhaps because of this, The Elephant Man was one of his more critically successful films and has since allowed him to go on and become a unique independant voice, if only for that reason, this film deserves it’s place on the list of 1001 Movies You Should See Before You Die.

YOU

4-10 Players – Exellent Warmup

Participants stand in a circle. One person starts by gesturing towards someone else in the circle and saying “You.” That participant then gestures and says “you” passing it to another person in the circle. There is no particular order or sequence for the “you”, but as it is passed, the energy of gesture and volume of the “you” increases. This continues until one participant achieves such energy and volume that the person to whom she is passing the “you” realizes that he cannot top it. The energy and volume then begins to decrease in steps until the gesture disappears and the “you” is not heard, only mouthed. From there, the mouthing stops, the “you” is passed with movement of the eyes, and eventually nothing happens to indicate who has the “you”, but it is still being passed around the circle. It will get lost very soon after this point, but the participants will feel as if they have had a psychic connection with each other.

con gái của mẹ
3 ngày nữa là con tròn 7 tháng.
Sáng nay mẹ thấy con đã biết bò, chân tay nhịp nhàng phối hợp chứ không bị chân ra đàng chân tay ra đàng tay như tuần trước đến té bổ nhào rồi khóc ré lên than thân trách phận nữa. Mà đâu phải là vì con được thực tập nhiều mà thành thạo đâu. Cả tuần nay mình đi biết bao nhiêu là nơi: mall, chợ, chợ, mall, mall, mall, chợ, chợ… ha ha, lâu lâu thì mình đi playgroup nữa Vậy mà hôm kia bỏ xuống đất con loạng choạng bò, rồi sáng hôm qua thì trườn theo con mèo, đến tối ngủ dậy mẹ thoáng thấy con đang tập ngồi, quay đi quay lại thì đã thấy con chầm chậm bò tới cái đèn ngủ của phòng mình. Sáng nay đặt ngồi chơi 1 hồi lại thấy con bò, lần này tự tin hơn, cũng sấn tới chụp cái night

Con gái của mẹ có tham vọng giống như mẹ, muốn làm 1 lúc tùm lum tà la việc, nhưng làm chỉ 1 tí là chán, một hồi ra mỗi việc nhìn *dường như* là làm được, nhưng không rành món nào. Điển hình này nhé: lúc 2 tháng cho con tummy time, con khóc tấm tức chổng mông lên đòi trườn hay bò gì đó, lật chưa xong mà đã vậy. Ba tháng con biết lật ngửa, chưa biết lật sấp. Bốn tháng vừa lật sấp xong thì lăn quanh nhà làm mẹ tưởng sắp cần childproof. Lăn được vài hôm thì bắt đầu công cuộc Cleopatra, nằm nghiêng nghiêng ngửa ngửa, cứ thế cả tháng. Nằm nghiêng chưa xong thì bắt đầu trườn khổ sở, thấy con mèo là hùng hục mắm môi mắm lợi chực chỉ phía nó, năm phút sau con mèo vẫn nằm đó ngó, con thì làm sao lại lăn đi phía khác, cách xa con mèo hơn trước đó 5 phút. Đến một dạo mẹ thấy tướng Cleopatra đang từ từ chuyển sang dạng tự ngồi dậy, à thì ra con mẹ muốn ngồi, ừ thì tuần trước tự ngồi dậy được 2 lần trong 2 ngày, đến hôm qua lại thấy con bò. Bò thì bò, nhỉ. Ấy mà thấy con mèo thì cuống lên làm sao thành trườn. Bây giờ thì ngồi, bò, trườn, chả cái nào nên thân. Mỗi lúc rượt theo con mèo thì mẹ thấy con vừa lăn vừa trườn vừa bò, vừa ngồi nữa ! Đang trườn trườn bông nhiên lại nghiêng nghiêng ngả ngả kéo mình lên rồi ngò cái đèn cười. Chưa hết, mẹ lại vừa chứng kiến con hăm he nắm cái hộp và cái thành của changing table để quỳ lên. Điệu này là đang dọa cruising đấy à?

Hồi 6 tháng mẹ dạy con nhai chạp chạp chạp, con cũng nhai chạp chạp chạp tỏ cho ba mẹ coi là con biết bắt trước. Mấy ngày hôm nay lâu lâu ba mẹ đang ăn gì thì lại nghe con chạp chạp chạp, mẹ lấy thức ăn đút cho con thì con ăn. Lúc nãy ngồi trên xe lái về nhà mẹ lại nghe con chạp chạp chạp, nên bế con lên lầu mẹ cho con bú. Mẹ chưa rõ là con chạp chạp theo kiểu practice cho vui hay là con đang tỏ ý cho mẹ biết. Như vừa rồi mẹ nấu bún bò cho ba mẹ ăn, lúc múc ra tô mùi thơm bốc lên, mẹ nghe con chạp chạp liên mồm phía sau lưng. Mà lúc đó con đã bú no nê rồi, mẹ đang cố ru con ngủ nên mẹ, hic, phớt lờ con đi. Con chạp đến khi mẹ ăn xong cất tô thì con lăn ra ngủ. Tội con, nhưng mẹ cần con nap con gái ạ. Cả ngày chơi miết không nap thì đến tối con sẽ vừa cười vừa khóc, vừa chơi vừa quăng đồ ầm ầm cho biết tay nhau.
Ba con hôm tuần trước về nhà nói mẹ rằng ba quyết tâm gửi tiền cho thiện nguyện thay cho con, để mong tạo nghiệp tốt. Mẹ nói thôi ba để yên đó đi, nghiệp ai nấy lo. Không tiếc gì tiền (mình xộp mà) nhưng nghiệp đâu phải mua là được, muốn gửi tiền giúp người nghèo hoặc giúp một hoạt động hữu ích thì nên gừi vì cái lòng mình muốn chứ gửi vì mong vụ lợi thì thôi lấy tiền đi đút lót hoặc kiss ass trực tiếp mẹ thấy khôn ngoan hơn. Mẹ nhân tiện nhắc luôn ba rằng nếu ba muốn cho con một tương lai tốt, từ giờ trở đi nếu ba điên tiết lên trên freeway hoặc trước khi ba tính làm 1 việc gì đó rash, ba chỉ cần nghĩ đến con và nhủ mình “con lớn lên cần có ba.” Mẹ sợ mỗi lần ba nổi điên lên trên xa lộ, nhất là hồi bên CA, ba cứ hăm he ăn thua đủ với mấy thằng bố ai biết nó có tiền án gì. Từ ngày có con, ba sụt cân, mất năng lượng theo trọng lượng, mẹ thấy đỡ hơn xưa rồi. Hoặc có lẽ ba đã nghĩ đến con trước rồi.
Con gái của mẹ ra ngoài rất ngoan, đi đâu người ta cũng nói sao con happy và con giỏi quá. Mẹ chỉ có mình con nên mẹ đâu biết con nít thường thường ra ngoài hư ngoan ra sao. Có điều mẹ để ý thấy, nếu mẹ đặt con xuống và bỏ đi xa để mặc con ngồi với người lạ, con sẽ mếu máo khóc đòi mẹ như ở nhà ông bà hôm nọ. Nếu đem con đi playgroup đặt con với trẻ em khác và các bà mẹ quen thuộc thì chưa thấy con khóc. Mẹ chưa rõ là con đã thật sự biết lạ chưa hay chỉ mới bắt đầu, tại mẹ mới thấy con khóc đòi mẹ trước mặt người lạ có 2 lần xưa tới giờ, mẹ bế xong lại cười.
Mẹ mong cho mình qua CA suông sẻ, con chơi nhiều ngủ giỏi, được lòng mọi người, và ăn được nhiều thức ăn thật ngon của nơi ba mẹ coi là quê hương!

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS SHOCKING STORY IN THE U.S. MEDIA?…..ABSOLUTELY NOT!

The following article is almost unbelievable and potentially deadly for our nation.  And while it poses a very serious and detrimental danger to the United States, I have not heard anything about it from the mainstream media.

The information was obtained from Israel National News and is located at http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/134466, which thankfully to the Lord, DOES NOT worship Barack Obama nor props him up on some sort of throne.

With that said, take a look at what they have discovered about the guy sitting in the White House.

Obama ‘Reaches Out’ by Naming ‘Devout’ Muslims to Security Posts

by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

(IsraelNN.com) U.S. President Barack Obama continues to “reach out to Muslims” by appointing them to key security posts amid charges he wrongly ignored internal Muslim terror. One recent appointee was harshly criticized for appearing on a British-based television station whose host is a member of a radical Muslim group.

His “reaching out Muslims” speech in Cairo last June has been followed by action, the latest being this past week’s swearing-in of a Muslim rights advocate to the Homeland Security Advisory Council, shortly after the Fort Hood massacre. HSAC members are involved in expertise on national security.

The new member is Syrian-born Kareem Shora, who was the national executive director of the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination (ADC), which previously has called on the United States to stop providing Israel with weapons because of alleged “atrocities” against Arabs. Her background for her new security post is having been a legal counsel and advocate for Muslim civil rights.

She also has been a frequent guest on the pro-Hamas al-Jazeera satellite network.

Shora, who has been described as a “devout Muslim, joins another devout member of the faith, Arif Alikhan, who was appointed as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development in the Department of Homeland Security. His qualifications for the job were listed as having been in charge of public safety in Los Angeles during his term of deputy mayor. One of his actions was to remove the plan that tracked Muslims in the city who were suspected of terrorist activities.

Americans have been jolted by several lethal attacks and confrontations with Muslims over the past year, including a plot to attack synagogues and down U.S. military aircraft, the manufacture of bombs, an alleged attempt to explode a Texas skyscraper, a plot to blow up malls in Boston, and last month’s Fort Hood massacre by a Muslim psychiatrist who was an officer in the army.

A desire to avoid the appearance of labeling all Muslims as terrorists lunged out from the shadows last month after President Obama faced criticism for not taking seriously the threat of Muslim terrorism within American society as well as in the Middle East, Asia and Africa.

Several months ago, President Obama appointed Dalia Mogahed, a “devout Muslim,” to his Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. She quickly came under fire for appearing in a telephone interview on a London-based Muslim television station, whose host is a member of an extreme Islamic group.

She said was unaware of the affiliations of her host, whose program included questions and comments favoring the implementation of Islamic Law (“sharia”).

Mogahed explained that she did not hang up the phone in the middle of the interview because “I assumed that very few people would watch this show but that doing something more dramatic would bring more attention.”

In the current issue of Newsweek, columnist Jacob Weisberg, citing former Secretary of State Colin Powell, wrote that “Obama’s [Muslim] heritage feeds a broader suspicion that he is too casual about the threat from America’s Islamist enemies.”

The journalist added, “With the massacre in Texas, Obama now confronts something that George W. Bush did not face in the years after September 11—not just a major act of domestic terrorism, but one struck from inside our security apparatus…. America does not face a threat from the perversion of faith in general. We face a threat from the perversion of one faith in particular.”

End

I want to encourage all of you to pray and to draw ever so close to the Son of the Living God, the LORD JESUS CHRIST……THE ONLY SAVIOR.

By all appearances, judgment seems to be heading for the United States of America.  As a watchman giving warning, I am urging everyone who is reading this to please follow the Lord’s Word from Isaiah chapter 55 verses 6-7 which is as follows:

Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:  Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

May we all take heed to this warning while we still have the chance, because a time is coming when we will not.

I have isolated myself from the past one week to be just concentrating on my work, dissertation, courseworks and exam reading. I have not met any friends , not spent time in socializing neither have I chatted with any one much. All I do is either put my head down in the library, researching or read a book in my room.

There are a few moments I feel that I wish to just run free , leave everything and be what I want to, forget all this, what is this that I am doing ? why this? , This makes me believe that I am here not just for education, but for a purpose, to understand and realize the purpose. That Purpose is different for different people, and we all observe and percieve it in a way that makes us comfortable.

Life has become a systems and a Process Modelling Diagram with a start and end to it, strings attached to it which if we slip, the strings break and we fall down into the valley of critizism, and torture.

Few people try to come out of the system, try to be a musical note without an end to it and be who you really want to be , but alas!, that is not what everyone acheves.

I have tried really hard on understanding the true purpose of my life, and believe me I still ammuse my self of what I have gone through and learnt from it. I beleieve we all are semenly connected through our psycological system, educating each other. All we need to know is how to gather this information, and knowledge and expand it beyond our means.

For all this text knowledge, we learn everyday in the books is all crap, what matters is , the knowledge of oneself, and that can be gained by knowing who you are.

I am still in the phase of my isolation and will soon come out of it when I believe I have achieved something, both material and spiritual, satisying my soul and mind.

For knowledge is not just about knowing, it is about truly understanding that , learning is a forever process which you will continue even after death!.

The sun is amazing this time of year…the Golden Hour is fleeting.

I often freak, wondering where you are, who you’re with, what you’re doing. Why? Why can’t I lean on God and realize that it’s not the end of the world if you fall through the cracks of my life?

Because even though it’s not the end of the world, it’s the end of the person whom I love and trust most, being in my life for its entirety. It’s the end of the person I care most about, being there for me to serve. It’s the end of the greatest part of me. The end of dreams of growing old, becoming a missionary in strange countries, learning languages, having beautiful children with your nose.

Don’t fall through the cracks. Please don’t fall through the cracks.

 “Great page turner!” 2009-11-22
By Shelby Skye (the Pacific Northwest, United States)
This story kept me wondering and guessing right up to the end. I liked the suspense of the mysterious notes and events as well as the building excitement of Mom’s appearance on the $20,000 Pyramid. Plus, it made me want to read A Wrinkle in Time all over again!

 “Awesome!” 2009-11-20

I really loved this book and couldn’t put it down. It was a great read!

 “Filled With Wonder” 2009-11-03
By Stephanie (Carson, CA United States)
Wow! Reading this book has filled me with wonder! Oh, the possibilities that Rebecca Stead explores and the characters feel so real and flawed and loving and scared and vulnerable and…human.

You know when they say a good book makes you feel like you’ve found family in those pages. That’s how I feel. I’ve found family and as with any family, I found pieces of myself in every character.

While the plotting is very tight, I was pulled more by the characters and the eloquence of the writing. Rebecca Stead’s skill with words is light and heavy, playful and thoughtful, joyous and blue. Isn’t that life?

By the end, I bought every last detail coming together so nicely. That’s difficult to pull off because most of the time, such endings feel contrived…forced. Because there is such a roller coaster of emotions, the ending also feels like ecstasy. I say that because while things are tied neatly, one has to then grapple with the larger themes of this wonderful children’s novel, themes of loss, love, making mistakes, finding family, finding redemption, etc.

I could go on and on but I won’t because part of the joy in reading this book is allowing yourself to discover the mysteries of life.

I know I certainly did!

 “A Gem For Older Elementaries” 2009-10-30
By Portianay (KY, USA)
This one had me glued to the page so much I even read it during commercial breaks in the World Series–and I am an ardent Phillies fan! Naturally, anyone who loves Madeleine L’Engle will love this book. Like L’Engle’s works, though, I think we will find that this book’s appeal will be mainly for girls, though if a boy would try it, he would enjoy the whole time-travel theme. It seems like, if the protagonist is female, the readership will be, also. This is a shame, in the case of this book, because it is a fascinating story of L’Engle’s “tessering” neatly inserted into “reality.”

 “Strange and thought-provoking” 2009-10-22
By A. Knight (Somerville, MA)
This novel is strange and thought-provoking–but in a good way. It starts off quietly, and reads as an episodic kind of a story (which usually bores me to death) but as soon as the overall story begins to form, it becomes clear that everything in the previous “boring” chapters were actually clues to the greater puzzle in the story. Awesome.

Basically, the story is about a young girl who is obsessed with A Wrinkle in Time who begins finding cryptic messages in hidden places. The phrase “masterfully woven” is over-used in book reviews, but I think it actually fits really well for this story. Usually, I’m pretty good at figuring out what’s going to happen at the end of a story, but in this case I only half-way figured out the mystery before it was revealed. The half I didn’t figure out was quite the surprise. The end will leave you wanting to re-read the entire book to see if you can piece it together the second time around!
