how do you make a title when nothing in your post is connected?

Rain
sprinkle, downpour, cold, refreshing
all rain; all different
cold bringing
life bringing
miserable; dancing in the rain
who's experiencing the rain?
homeless man, spinning child, dog, sparrow
is rain good?
the homeless man says no
the child says yes, but the childs mother?
and the dog; the sparrow
rain...

contemplations of my spirit
it reaches, oh so longingly
come satisfy me. something
when nothing reaches back it turns back inwards
nursing ache
wondering...
is it supposed to be like this
I'm in this body; trapped
can't fly to heaven
can't run with flailing arms
can't understand who I am or why
trapped
body, mind, spirit
they don't agree on what really matters
fighting, twisting, snarling
fighting for what truth they should all agree to
for what actions they will be held accountable
yet body, mind, spirit
all one
trying to join
to become one person
with one standard
one life
one God
the God

my spirit is refreshed by tongues, but mind and body remain untouched
my body moves to music, but spirit and mind remain unafected
my mind absorbs new things, but my body doesn't care
Prophecy... refreshes both spirit and mind
holy presence reaches all inside both
and of course excersise gives you endorphins and endorphins make you happy and everybody knows happy ppl don't kill people.

Ok, so I wrote one of those at like 4 and got interupted by Chris then wrote the other one and now it's several hours later. So the weekend was good. tiring. tomorrow is my spanish midterm so I've been studying. hopefully it won't be too hard, but the teacher isn't that good so i have no idea what it will be like.
The Ritches... I had fun hanging out with them. and they did like church. we all made a music video to Irene by TobyMac that is pretty cool. a little on the stupid side, but tons of fun.
Youth sunday. Yay! joy. I love it when your worshiping in the front with all your youth buddies and then this little girl less than half your age comes and stands next to you. The best feeling in the world. I missed everyone so much this past while. I hadn't been to church since 2 sundays ago. That's horrible.
hey, know what's funny? the johnsons had a goodbye party, but the dad doesn't leave til the end of the month and the rest of them don't leave til after war cry. Ha. I could have a goodbye party myself for leaving for mississip. I love having friends at church. last year and even last semster I didn't feel like I fit in at all with the youth group crowd. and Alyssa. you're my new hero. you're one who has given me a non holiday related gift since I can't remember when. you've inspired me. and it's the 2nd burned cd anyone besides my aunt has given me. the best.

So about the continuing dance saga for anyone who slightly cares. Jo might be amoung the few. Alfredo changed his dance around so I have my solo back! YES! victory is present. and now juli has james' solo and we can all be happy and live harmoniously. Tyler didn't even show up for his rehersal so we just sat around instead of practicing his piece. waste of time. And alfredo... rrrrrrrrrr... he started early and ended late. I hate that with a passion. Odio cuando él termino tarde. I don't know if that's right or not and I don't really care.

wasn't Isaac the cutest today with Fuller? awww.... drumming away. rythm? possibly. fuller was loving it. isaac is the church mascot. that's what I've decided. ok, this post is really long now and I have nothing in particular to write besides rambling which I could truly write all day so I'm going now.
g'night. the weekend is over. sniff.

It's sad when a two-year old has better rythm than you do.....*sigh* sorry Jo.

ok, i'd have to say that (and maybe i just have a horrible memory.. uhhh) this is your best post yet. absolutely in love with your first poem, and i MOST THOROUGHLY enjoyed the rest of your post. :)
you must know that, despite my complete ignorance at most times, i always love hearing about what you're doing in dance, so any mention you make of such affairs will absolutely thrill me. :)

it's alright, ben.. i know that you have a most unfortunate (although not uncommon) problem, but please be assured that i love you despite of your short-comings, and still hold you in the highest regard when it comes to your achievements in.. er.. OTHER areas.. ;) ..is there some sort of operation that can fix this problem?? nono, i seriously want to know..

Wait, what "OTHER areas" are you talking about, exactly?
