Real: Plumb

Blame my sister's choice of CD on the car.. but i guess this is applicable for the emotion currently rolling over for the past weeks… Okay, age needs to be like way back last year. Hehe.

*~*~*

Look at me I'm twenty-three
Beautiful a sight to see tonight
A little dress to draw the press
And i'll be leaving all the rest behind
Well, be pleased, Girl
If this is what you wanted
The whole world is watching you take the stage
What will you say

Aren't I lovely
And do you want me cause
I am hungry for something that will make me real
Can you see me and
Do you love me cause
I am desperately searching for something
Real

I close my eyes imagint time
Will not forget my sacrifice
I numb the ache and decorate
My emptiness stand naked in the light
Well, be pleased, world
If this is what you wanted
This young girl is everyhing that you made
What will she say

Aren't I lovely
And do you want me cause
I am hungry for something that will make me real
Can you see me and
Do you love me cause
I am desperately searching for something
Real

The world goes home, the lights go down
My lipstick fades away

Aren't I lovely
And do you want me cause
I am hungry for something that will make me real
Can you see me and
Do you love me cause
I am desperately searching for something

C&R: God’s Letter to a Woman

When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being.  When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils.  But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man, because your nostrils are too delicate.

I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you.  Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity.  From one bone, I fashion you.  I chose the bone that protects man's life.  I chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and support him, as you are meant to do.

Aroud this bone, I shaped you… I modeled you.  I created you perfectly and beautifully.  Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile.

You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart.  His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life.  The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart.  Support the man as the rib cage supports the body.

You were not taken from his feet, to be under him, nor were you taken from his head, to be above him.  You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to his side.

You are my perfect angel… You are my beautiful little girl.  You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence and my eyes fill when I see the virtues in your heart.  You eyes… don't change them.  Your lips, how lovely when they part in prayer.  Your nose, so perfect in form.  Your hands, so gentle to touch.  I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep. 

I've held your heart close to mine.  Of all that lives and breathes, you are most like me.

Adam walked with me in the cool of the day, yet he was lonely.  He could not see me or touch me.  He could only feel me.

So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me, I fashioned in you; my Holiness, my Strength, my Purity, my Love, my Protection and my Support.

You are special because you are an extension of me.  Man represents my image, woman my emotions.  Together, you represent the totality of God.

So man…. treat woman well.
Love her, respect her, for she is fragile.  In hurting her, you hurt me.
What you do to her, you do to me.  In crushing her, you only damage your own heart; the heart of your Father, and the heart of her Father. 

Woman, support man.  In humility, show him the power of emotion I have given you. 
In gentle quietness, show your strength.  In love, show him that you are the rib that protects his inner self.

Did you not know that WOMAN is special in God's eyes?
