As Wednesday coincides with my deadline day at work, I've decided to insitute "Music Wednesday," both because I'm pressed for time to blog, and because I really rely on music to get me through the tension.
So without further ado, have a listen to Sinéad O'Connor singing (live) If You Had a Vineyard from her album, Theology.
See how many direct quotes you can find from the Old Testament in this poignant song dedicated to the Israeli and Palestinian people.

About Me
- Anima Sola
- Chicago, IL
- Anima Sola isn't fond of labels. She is, however, fond of embracing her many paradoxes, and walking the fine lines between religion and politics, with an eye turned toward postmodern religion, feminist theology, and challenging patriarchy from inside the Roman Catholic Church.

Quoting...
There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love
anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken.
If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart
to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies
and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the
casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket — safe, dark,
motionless, airless — it will change. It will not be broken; it will
become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to
tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only
place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the
dangers and perturbations of love is Hell."
~From the book The Four Loves by C.S.Lewis

Ha funny! I was talking to you about doing a SILENT Wednesday using photo art and such.....
That's my girl!!!
Ironically, I kept myself from changing my position on capital punishment for 10-year-olds by listening to music all day today....
