Ashes like snow...

So, I am currently watching my way through several shows at once, never taking in more than three episodes before switching to another on my list.  I find that I enjoy them more, since most shows are not written as a complete story, from beginning to end, as was the most marvelous "Babylon 5."  "Fringe" is, in a way, but even though I have watched the entire series four times through, I still have not quite figured it out.  Right now, I am just into Season Two on that show ... John Noble should have earned an Emmy for each year that he played Walter Bishop.

I find it ... a bit weird ... that for all of the "Bones" episodes I listen to then score from the credits instead of moving on to the next episode.





I just really like that bit of music, especially the first part of it.  I wish I knew what instrument was playing along with the piano.

Anyway, I searched for it on You Tube and this little gem below was one of the suggested videos:





Now just how cool is that??  I mean, I wrote eons ago how I purchased the opening score form "Star Trek Voyager" as an MP3 file because I find the music so hopeful and luminous, a perfect match for the premise of the show.  Now, even with this kind of help, I never would have been able to manage such a simple song on the piano—the three times I tried taking lessons each of my teachers suggested that I quit—but I did plunk around on my piano app whilst watching this video.

There is a lot of horrible things on the Internet, but there are also many things that are interesting, thoughtful, or just plain fun.

If you like the show "Bones" and are, like me—the kind of person who hears a song on a television show and then wants to add it to her play list—this website is a reference guide to all of the music on "Bones."

I sometimes wonder if I should be worried that the music I like best off of television are both on criminal shows:  "Bones" and "Criminal Minds."  Someone on the latter must be a fan of Lily Kershaw, because I now own six of her songs simply from watching "Criminal Minds."

I've shared it before, but I remain in genuine awe that she wrote such a stunningly beautiful song about 9/11 and the grief that followed.




The more time I spend battling violent nausea, the more I value the special playlist that I have been creating and music itself.  I become so ill that I cannot read or watch television/movies.  I can barely even listen to the songs washing over me.  But through the fog of agony and desperation a lyric here or there will break through and remind me the thoughts I want to hold.

This song, to me, says that some things in this life are simply too large, too great to bear in our minds and hearts and bodies.  All we can really do is bewail our misery and know that our Creator is listening and understands, for He has born the first and last of the greatest grief the world has ever known.  First, the fall of His beloved creation from eternal life into sin and death.  Second, the brutal crucifixion and death of His son.

I hurt.
I am afraid.
I don't know what to do with what I think and feel.
