Love is difficult

Sunday, February 18th, 2007

I was watching Brothers & Sisters and they quoted Rainer Maria Rilke. I fell in love with it. :)

It is also good to love: because love is difficult. For one human being to love another human being: that is perhaps the most difficult task that has been entrusted to us, the ultimate task, the final test and proof, the work for which all other work is merely preparation. That is why young people, who are beginners in everything, are not yet capable of love: it is something they must learn. With their whole being, with all their forces, gathered around their solitary, anxious, upward-beating heart, they must learn to love.

If you would like to read the whole letter, go here. Total poetry. Lovely, simply lovely.

Ah, new music, here I come!

As most people know, I’m a huge fan of music. My friends Damon and Kelli got me stuck into the local music scene and I’ll admit that I’ve been far too busy recently to support local music as much as I’d like. I think that’s why I’m enjoying Unsigned so much. It’s a snazzy way for unsigned groups to hopefully get discovered and make it into the Big Time! Check out the Bluegrass Artists, Country Artists, and of course, Dance Artists. :) What’s cooler is that even though there are two pages of dance groups, you can hit the advance search and find the one local dance guy. :D I love that! So, find some new music. Explore a bit. Especially since when you click someone’s profile, you can hear some music they’ve put out. It’s like Myspace, only cooler and without the idiots in it. :)
