"At the place where Jesus was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden, a new tomb, in which no one had ever laid..."
No, I am not going all soppy on Jesus' crucifixion. I don't like it one bit and when some nutcases decide to dedicate a day to celebrate all the pain an honest man went through, I stay inside, put my TV on Living, and watch back to back Jerry Springer shows, or Maury shows, or Sex and the City. A far cry from all the blood and gore happening. Because no, I do not want to celebrate the barbaric murder of a guilty man, let alone an innocent man. I am not a big fan of the bible either, I prefer to read newspapers, novels, biographies and the odd magazine. But then again, from time to time, I need to listen to A. Lloyd Webber's version of John 19:41. It is a basic need, I need to listen to the poignancy of it all. It is beautiful, but you might cry. Or else, it never fails to make me cry. For a moment, all the silly day to day stuff I write about dissolves into oblivion and I can only concentrate on the existence of my being in life. It's therapy, which comes for free out of YouTube. Switch off all phones and just listen. It's one experience in life which never fails to get me straightened out, as screwed up as I might be sometimes........ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqDoLcORDwU
