my obsession

so i ended up with posts with the same title in both bloggs today....just as this song describes how i'm feeling at the moment, it started developing into an idea for choreography as well (which should not surprise anyone really....)

i want to put down the lyrics again....
What can I do with my obsession?
With the things I cannot see
Is there madness in my being?
Is it wind that blows the trees?

Sometimes you're further than the moon
Sometimes you're closer than my skin
And you surround me like a winter fog
You've come and burned me with a kiss

And my heart burns for you
And my heart burns

And I'm so filthy with my sin
I carry pride like a disease
You know I'm stubborn God and I'm longingto be close
You burn me deeper than I know

I feel lonely without hope
I feel desperate without vision
You wrap around me like a winter coat
You come and free me like a bird

And my heart burns for you
And my heart burns for you

Fairytales - Idea

why do we all love fairytales? Could it be that deep down, in every boy and girl, there is a longing for that place.....the place where all dreams come true.

inspired by this song.....

there must be a place:

deep down inside, inside my heart i feel passion and fire

i've got a yearning that words could not express

a hunger for love and tenderness

deep down inside, i know you feel the hunger and so do i

where the wonders of a fairytale could never fail

there must be a place where dreams come true

there must be a time when i'm free to fly

there must be a place

deep down inside, inside my heart i'm falling one more time

i'm overtaken by the promise of love, that i have been made a captive of

deep down inside i'll do anything if only i could find

all the memories of once upon a time, i wanna make them mine

there must be something inside of me that keeps believing in love

what is this something inside of me

that knows theres so much more, make it all worth living for

The History of Creation :









1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was[a] on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.







Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.
