the following is a short film written by miranda july and directed by miguel arteta that i have completely fallen in love with. it is only about four and a half minutes long so it wont take up too much of your time.
today i realized that i have no strong feelings or emotions or even an affinity towards any particular god or religious ceremony. its not that i am not open to some sort of 'religious experience' it is just that i have never heard nor witnessed anything that moved me in any sort of way nor have i participated in anything that felt like more than a mere act. today in the middle of church when james said "you know what you did in there right? you drank the blood of christ." my initial thoughts were along the lines of "no i drank a glass of grape juice." and it totally broke my heart. i would love to believe in something bigger than myself, but thus far i have not been able to. i hope the same does not hold true for my son.
