...I suspect you'd write a song about it...MEL
If she withdrew from exaltation, she would be forced to think- And every thought led to fear and contradictions; to dilemmas for which she was unprepared.

Well, it is a traditional Judaic belief that there is one person who has the potential of being The Messiah that is alive in every generation. The person has no idea it is them, but the possibility that The Messiah will come (for those who don't believe s/he has appeared yet) is always there.

Ooer! Can I be the slayer, or do you have to be Jewish?
You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

You don't have to be Jewish, but... There can be only one!

I believe He is here always, in many guises and in many forms. One just needs to learn how to see and hear Him. :)
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.

~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~

~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~

...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

Well, since I like to believe that we are all god, (yep, even the people you don't like, which sucks) I'd have to say that he is one of us. ;)

Wait...if I was Limbo, or at least the deity who ruled Limbo, I think my catchphrase would be "Limbo lower now," which could only be said in a mock Jamaican accent.

Well, I'd guess that not only is the "devil" god too, but we are all also the "devil."

So all bases are covered. ;)
