What they are in denial of is their fear of knowing and telling the truth. This is the thing. They fear the terrible “God” that has wielded these terrors and horrors. They are not necessarily “in denial”, as they are subconsciously catatonic, severely traumatized. That’s what they are in denial about, not the truth, but the wrath. They know the truth. C. Villeneuve

The religious practice of making people shamed, as though nothing but dirt, in order to enslave them to striving for redemption.

 

Strong Dose of Innocence

I was given the gift of love tears today, they came with a song, a boat carrying balloons and a little artist girl, a summer afternoon with her friend, and the breeze  C. Villeneuve

I discovered this group a couple of days ago, came across this song and listened to it about 10 times, heart swelling, tears welling. They were not sad tears though, they were love tears. My little artist is now 32 years old and lives in a different province than I. This video and this song are a mom’s whisper to her children. Such innocence as this reminds of summer days. Innocence for adults is how I would describe the music that this group, The Weepies, make. Almost embarrassing for us toughened by the glamourizing of corruption and perversion, but worth the risk.  Enjoy –
