If that's what you're thinking, then don't even question it. Go let your freak flag fly, brother. Anthony Kiedis
You will hear thunder and remember me, And think: she wanted storms. The rim. Of the sky will be the colour of hard crimson, And your heart, as it was then, will be on fire. That day in Moscow, it will all come true, when, for the last time, I take my leave, And hasten to the heights that I have longed for, Leaving my shadow still to be with you. Anna Akhmatova
Our failure to hear His voice when we want to is due to the fact that we do not in general want to hear it, that we want it only when we think we need it. Dallas Willard
