A Poem of Pain

March 1st – The Day After April: Today I wake and feel even lonelier, but I see positive potential. My heart shook much like the quake, then the pain was gone. The arctic breeze formed the fortress, barricading my fragile heart with pain. - Tupac Shakur

He wrote this after his divorce with April. Notice the despair and wound, yet there is a thread of hope here. He vaguely alluded to it, but it's presence kept him focused and moving on. Was it from God? From within himself? From others? We don't know, but we know this.. he got up and kept walking. I can relate to the subject matter, but my hope was in Christ and who I am in Him. Yes, I got up and kept walking as well, but knowing God has my back and and my future.

Fasting and Prayer..

Top Ten Bruce Tunes

Here is my order of the ten best Springsteen songs, according to my ears and mind. I also listed the best version of the song either on CD or online.

10) The Rising - CD The Rising. This is about finding hope in a desperate situation. It was written just after 9/11, and the album The Rising was a response of hope to our nation's tragedy. 9) Born in the USA - 1988 South Africa Human Rights Tour. The most misunderstood song of all time. 8) Atlantic City - 1999 Reunion Tour, Madison Square Garden. Great story. 7) Backstreets - 1975 Hammerstein London. A powerful novel filled with love, devotion, and friendship. 6) Darkness on the Edge of Town - 1975/85 Live. It moves me. 5) Badlands - tie 75/85 Live and Reunion Tour 1999. A crowd favorite and a song of faith, hope, and love. 4) Jungleland - 1999 Reunion Tour. "beneath that giant Exxon sign, that brings this fair city light." No one writes like Bruce. 3) The River - a story of family, loss, and love. 2) Born to Run - 1975/85 Live. The song that landed him into our record players. 1) Thunder Road - any version. Possibly one of the best songs ever written.
