there's just too little of.

i went to church today, it's been a while. i felt more heathen-ish than usual, saying all those familiar things that i don't quite mean.

i think i did mean them at some point. maybe i didn't mean them ever. maybe i do mean them... or want to mean them, somewhere deep down.

anyways, the homily had just started, and i was preparing to zone out when the priest (our new pastor) said something so profound that i was instantly snapped forward to the moment i was in, and frantically eyed the pews for one of those stubby, dull-ended pencils meant for writing on the offertory envelopes (you know, the kind you used to draw with on those offertory envelopes when you were bored out of your skull at mass) to write what he said down. i managed to remember it, i hope i always will.

he said, "where love reigns, law becomes unnecessary."
