Wow; first time I've been back on DeviantArt in eons... I had something like 150+ new deviations from artists I watch and like 75 messages... phew...

I doubt that this means I'll be uploading much in the future; I feel so crunched for time these days that I have a hard time getting myself to do anything I don't really, -really- want to do, and having not been terribly inspired for a while (though there have been occasional bursts of inspiration courtesy of my incredible girlfriend), art really hasn't been one of those things very often. So... yeah.

Here's a song that really struck me not too long ago; maybe it'll inspire you too. I've known it for quite some time, but I guess I never really listened closely to it until recently, and upon doing so I realized that it -really- resonates with how I feel sometimes, especially the chorus (the last four lines here):

(speaking to Christ)
"And it all seems so helpless
And I have no plans
I'm a plane in the sunset
With nowhere to land

And all I see
It could never make me happy
And all my sand castles
Spend their time collapsing

And I feel stuck
Watching history repeating
Yeah, who am I?
Just a kid who knows he's needy

Let me know You're near me
Let me know Your touch
Let me know that You love me
And LET THAT BE ENOUGH"
- Switchfoot, "Let That Be Enough" (emphasis added)

How much different would my life be if I lived every moment embracing the knowledge that He -does- love me?
