get: bush - machinehead, dirty - christina aquilera

realized today why i'm all for hanging out for hours on end in a temple. not because i'm a devout buddhist or even a particularly religious person. it's the feeling of a place where thousands of people have invested unquestioned faith in something, where they totally let go and hold no reservations. one of the few places where there's no human subterfuge, no pretense or past tense, none of that hidden personal agenda stuff. of course, it's way too naive to assume that everyone who enters a temple does so with so pure a heart (us being humans after all), but the feeling's still there. and that's what fills me. something that i can't find anywhere else because everyday life is filled with all the complexities of living.
