lament

this talk by rob bell was recommended to me (scroll down to 'learning to lament in a culture of denial), and is brilliant.

for all those who have had their voice silenced, for all who feel alone in their suffering, for all who feel pain at the indifference to the injustice in our world, for all who feel sad, or angry at a loss of voice, a loss of personhood, in the eyes of others.

i thoroughly suggest you find a spare hour, get a coffee and a choccy biccy and enjoy. (it's only around for another three weeks on the website, so download soon.....)
