Etheldreda
snap shot from the film, Saint Etheldreda
"And as they were singing their customary praises to out Lord, a light from heaven like a great sheet suddenly appeared and shone over them all, so alarming them that they even broke off their singing in consternation.
After a short while, this brilliant light, compared to with the noonday sun would appear dark, rose and travelled to the south side of the convent westward of the oratory and, having remained over that area for a time, withdrew heavenwards in the sight of them all.
This occurrence left no doubt in their minds that the light, which was to guide or receive the souls of Christ's servants into heaven, had also indicated the spot where their bodies were to rest and await the day of the resurrection.
So brilliant was this light that one of the older brothers, who was in the oratory at the time with another younger brother, reported next morning that the rays of the light penetrating the chinks of the doors and windows seemed brighter than the brightest daylight."
Bede, Ecclesiastical History of the English People
It is Finished
[Sam Harrison]
"It's over and I'm going under,
But I'm not giving up,
I'm just giving in.
I'm slipping underneath,
So, so cold,
So sweet"*
[Florence + The Machine]
Yes, I've been a little obsessed with Ceremonials by Florence + The Machine.
Get on board or get over it.

*possibly the best lines on the album. It's haunting.

~ Ceremonials ~
Well, I stayed up till midnight waiting for my download of the new Florence + The Machine album, Ceremonials.
It's fair to say, it hardly dissapoints.Speaking of being far from disappointed .. It happened for me.
I'm officially off the market.
Fate, totally threw this out of the part. I'm zealous, but at peace.
You know when something just .. fits?
"And when we come back we'll be dressed in [NOIR]
and you'll scream our names aloud
and we won't eat
and we won't sleep,
we'll drag bodies form the graves..
So, Say my name
and very colour eliminates
and we are shinning
and we'll never be afraid again
say my name
as every colour eliminates
Say my Name!"
In many ways, this song captures much of the zeal that's running through me.
Dustin is totally the grey to my noir.
I love who I am right now and how easy everything feels.
My intuition gave me a feeling, but I had no idea it was going to be this easy.
"Look at the good I do."
