drops like stars

i was reading a book by Rob Bell, and in it he told a story about how he and his nephew were one day watching the rain through a window. his nephew continuously said, "stars, stars, stars." Rob, confused by his words, looked at his sister-in-law and asked,"why does he keep saying the word star?" she replied,"he believes that when a raindrop hits the ground, for a split second, that it looks like a star."



i had never looked at it that way.



i pray that you may see drops like stars...

fell in love with this poem...

Having a Coke with you
is even more fun than going top San Sebastain, Irun, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne
or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona.
Partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian.
Partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt.
Partly because of the fluoresent orange tulips around the birches.
Partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary.
It is hard to believe when I'm with you that there can be anything as still
as solemn as unpleasently definitive as statuary when right in front of it.
In the warm New York 4 o'clock light we are drifting back and forth
between each other like a tree breathing through its spectacles
And the portrait show seems to have no faces in it at all, just paint,
you suddenly wonder why in the world anyone ever did them.
I look at you and I would rather look at you than all the portraits in the world...
