"Slow down, hold still
It's not as if it's a matter of will
Someone's circling, someone's moving
a little lower than the angels
And it's got nothing to do with me
The wind blows through the trees
but if I look for it, it won't come
I tense up, my mind goes numb
There's nothing harder... than learning how to receive

Calm down, be still
We've got plenty of time to kill
No hand writing on the wall;
just the voice that's in us all
And you're whispering to me,
time to get up off my hands and knees,
'cause if I beg for it, it won't come
I find nothing but table crumbs
My hands are empty... God I've been naive.

All I need is everything
Inside, outside, feel new skin
All I need is everything
Feel the slip and the grip of grace again

Slow down, hold still
It's not as if it's a matter of will
Someone's circling, someone's moving
a little lower than the angels
This voice calling me to you;
it's just barely coming through
Still, I clearly hear my name
I've been fingering the flame
like tomorrow's martyr,
It gets harder to believe...

All I need is everything
Inside, outside, feel new skin
All I need is everything
Feel the slip and the grip of grace, again

So from now till kingdom come,
taste the words on the tip of my tongue
'Cause we can't run truth out of town,
only force it underground
The roots grow deeper
in ways we can't conceive

All I need is everything.
Inside, outside feel new skin.
All I need is everything.
Feel the slip and the grip of grace again.

All I need is all I need."

That song makes me think of vampires. No idea why.

Random portrait of a friend and then playing with it in iPhoto/PS.

No it is not an eye manipulation, that is her eye color just with slightly heightened exposure/contrast/saturation. I was experimenting with just removing color from part of a picture.
