"I am so easily satisfied by the call of lovers so less wild"
I have been a fan of Derek Webb since the day I heard him sing these words in his song "Wedding Dress". This horribly accurate proclamation is one that I have stolen to describe myself and how I interact with the rest of the world.
Although it is fairly depressing to come to grips with how easily I am fooled, how quickly I jump into dangerous habits, and how content I am to live in mediocrity...I feel as if these words speak radically about my human condition, enabling me to acknowledge how far off I am from how things ought to be.
As for now, I am in progress...AND I must be (continually) confronted with those lovers which offer me very little in the end.
May we come to understand our own situation, and through humility, be inspired towards change...slowly working towards how things ought to be.
