There are moments, some longer than others, that are hard to define and feel in your person, in your self, that you "belong" or "fit" or that everything is "right" - I read a play on words yesterday where the word "atonement" was broken down into "at - one - ment" - or the state of being at one....with the world, purpose, yourself, existence, the divine.

I haven't felt that for a few days - no real reason - it's just one of those longer moments for me.

I love the appleseed cast - and I love this song that's entitled "Moment #72" - it's obviously a love song, but the music, the drive, the intensity of it helps me to feel more "at - one - ment" - lyrics below:

secrets of.
curtains love.
blinds.
a hideaway.
long hand falls.
the moment slows down.
and nothing moves.
count the seconds passage.
lies.
concealed your hands.
wear this moment's wretched finery.
this moment's words fade away.
the silence says more.
the secrets fall.
you shout out lies by just standing there.
a face of smile.
i could not see you.
only my reflection
