The Angel and The One


The new Weezer album of all things has got me thinking. The last line of the last song on the regular edition of the album: “WE ARE the angels and WE ARE the ones that are praying.” God is in all of us. God IS all of us. It’s up to US to answer our own prayers and those of each other.

It’s time we stopped putting each other up on pedestals without believing that we too can rise so high. It’s time we stopped rising so high without reaching out our hand to take others with us. You too can be Gandhi. Together we can, not only change the world, but reverse the fucking rotation of the earth.

Remember, never forget, we are all in this together. Whether it’s a girlfriend that’s starting to get on your nerves, your husband who has been getting on your nerves for a dozen years now, a teenager running wild or an overbearing parent, you were brought together, if only for a time, to love and to support each other.

And above all, to pray to and to listen and to answer those prayers with all the passion of Christ, Muhammad and The Incredible Hulk combined. Because if it was in them, it’s in you as well.

Peace, Shalom
