Sun Sash - Sashed the Sun (1 year)

Sashed the Sun
Since the first installment of this blog, we have revolved once around the Sun, sashing it. Once-a-day, at 12:08A (PST), I've shared with you quotes & comments - 365 in all - that have had some meaning to me and/or to the day. Reading the quotes next to the date, time and/or celebration will tell a story, for those who are looking for one. For me, they are diary-entries, of sorts.

I was once told that you can't live by these one-liners. I agree. But in this 140-character age of Twitter and Facebook posts, it is important to articulate concepts and thoughts efficiently and effectively. And for that reason alone, I've found these sashes to be inspirational in content and in form. If we don't live by them, we certainly live with them.

It has been a fun trip around the Sun. I hope you enjoyed the ride as much as I did. 
~ Fr. Vazken

Sun Sash - Unused Sashes (#363)

Unused Sashes
As the Sashes make a full circle around the Sun, these were sashes that were picked but never used. Burning off the excesses before coming home...


First-Last LoveMen always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a man's last romance.
~Oscar Wilde 


Relations One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.
~Euripides 


Burying In peace, sons bury their fathers. In war, fathers bury their sons.

Curiosity - People like you and me do not grow old no matter how long we live... we never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were born.

~Andy Warhol

Seasons - In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.
~Albert Camus

Super Bowl - The truth is the Super Bowl long ago became more than just a football game. It's part of our culture like turkey at Thanksgiving and lights at Christmas, and like those holidays beyond their meaning, a factor in our economy.
~Bob Schieffer

Negativity - If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.
~Michael Jordan

Sun Sash - Mission (#361)

Mission
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised." 
...Today, in your hearing, these words have been fulfilled.
~Jesus

Sun Sash - Skating Away (#352)

Skating Away
... you were bred for humanity and sold to society
one day you'll wake up in the Present Day
a million generations removed from expectations
of being who you really want to be.

    In Context
    Meanwhile back in the year One --- when you belonged to no-one ---
    you didn't stand a chance son, if your pants were undone.
    `Cause you were bred for humanity and sold to society ---
    one day you'll wake up in the Present Day ---
    a million generations removed from expectations
    of being who you really want to be.

    Skating away ---
    skating away ---
    skating away on the thin ice of the New Day.

    So as you push off from the shore,
    won't you turn your head once more --- and make your peace with everyone?
    For those who choose to stay,
    will live just one more day ---
    to do the things they should have done.
    And as you cross the wilderness, spinning in your emptiness:
    you feel you have to pray.
    Looking for a sign
    that the Universal Mind (!) has written you into the Passion Play.

    Skating away on the thin ice of the New Day.

    And as you cross the circle line, the ice-wall creaks behind ---
    you're a rabbit on the run.
    And the silver splinters fly in the corner of your eye ---
    shining in the setting sun.
    Well, do you ever get the feeling that the story's
    too damn real and in the present tense?
    Or that everybody's on the stage, and it seems like
    you're the only person sitting in the audience?

    Skating away on the thin ice of the New Day.
