'On' Miserables of 2013

Let's not lose Life in amongst the plastic

The haunting childhood anthems ran back through my veins, this time surging them with the shivers that I have learned are from God.  My mom brought me the soundtrack to the play from London when I was 7, and I've been tantalized by the other-worldliness of Les Miserables since.

It's a world that speaks of something worth dying for, and living for.  Of the raw emotion that cries out from not so distant times, to a world that races through Big Macs and Adam Sandler movies.  Don't get me wrong, Big Macs are funny, and Adam Sandler movies are yellow, but we've lost a taste of what it means to be human in this age.

Our freedom was bought with blood, our height comes from standing on the shoulders of previous generations.  The Lamb has paid, we have been raised, and we eat.  Let's not get de-sensitized to the taste of food.
