We make me sick.

"In this needle and haystack life, I found miracles there in your eyes. It's no accident we're here tonight, we are once in a lifetime."

Those are some lyrics to Switchfoot's new song Needle and Haystack Life. I have to say, I am completely in love with those words. I think it's funny that the world gets excited when a comet that comes around every "million" years or so is going to make an appearance, or it's all over the news when an eclipse that only happens every now and then is going to occur, people freak out over rainbows or planets aligning or whatever rare occurance is going to take place. But the real magic is that we are more rare than the brightest most beautiful star in the sky. We ARE once in a lifetime. I'll be here for a while and then one day I'll be gone and that's it. I know it gets said all the time that people take life for granted but it amazes me sometimes just how true that is. No one looks at another human being like they're a stunning falling star, no one looks in the mirror in awe of their skin and bones put in place to house a unique and unmatchable soul. We all just march on with our God given lives like this existence is nothing special. My point is that I just don't know how God does it. How day after day he makes life and breath and the person blessed enough to have those things doesn't even get how completely sweet that is. If I put that much of myself into something and then it didn't even care or turned away from me completely, I'd be pretty pissed. How he promised to never flood the world again like he did in Noah's day is beyond me. I'd of stabbed everyone by now.

.... and on that lovely note, i need to go make some Theraflu.
