Tearless eyes
Sometimes TV-entertainment can give you the deepest form of inspiration. I was watching the HBO series Deadwood. There was a funeral, and the preacher quoted from somewhere in the bible, I guess (although I haven't found where exactly it came from). It was one of the most beautiful quotes I've ever heard:
Your ways are not our way O Lord. We abide, the just and unjust alike, under your tearless eye. Tearless not because you do not see us, but because you see what we are so well.
How beautiful is that? For the ones allergic to any image or talk regarding god or other heavenly beings, that is not what this is about. It's about our value as humans, our potential. Nobody looking at us from above or from anywhere else, observing what we do here, is crying. Not because they are not looking very well, but because the truth is apparent: we can do much better, and some time we will. That's why there is no cause for tears. I love it.
