He's Gotta Be Able to Hear Prayers in Heaven
FOUND by Brody
in Brookline, Massachusetts
I have had this on my fridge for so long, I don't remember where I found it. Oh! Parking lot behind a convenience store.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Oh, Jerry Falwell...
"Love is good." and "God is good" Sooo... if love = good and God = good then love = God. Yes?
God also love quiet. And everything in between.
I'm wondering whether this is a note written out for a Bible camp or Sunday School thing where the leaders would have gotten the kids to chant this text three words at a time. And maybe it was written out by one of the kids. (Is the "eye" supposed to be "I"?)
i can't imagine looking at this on my fridge every day...
Ooh, ooh, I want to say it! Can I, can I?
It's creepy!
To me at least. Sounds... possessed.
Diggin' the handwriting though. Messy but rather cool.
It doesn't make any more sense reading it backwards....
yell?
Not a single spelling mistake.
Hey! It's another Find from Brody of Brookline MA. Way to go, Brody! (Are you here, commenting these days? I like the way you write.)
I like how the first line under the title COULD be read thus: You see/ See Love/ Love Me...after that, well, if you continue that two word at a time technique, it doesn't work anymore.
The note, to me, looks/reads like the writings of a Schizophrenic.
Fascinating, stuff that makes you believe that you can almost maybe begin to understand what's going in in their mind, but no, not really.
The more knowing
do you know
does it show
when i go...
I'll have to find those pages of poetry/writings I've saved all these years, from a lovely lady with whom I once spent some time in close quarters. darkly, creepily fascinating. But some of it was filled with joy and an almost rapturous feel. (like this Found note.)
Popeye: "I will one day in me eye. Yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk"
Bluto: "Oh yeah?" (POW!)
I do not plan to base any theological constructs on this note.
All the Loves are capitalized. If I had to look at this every morning I'd start each day in a state of confusion.
On my way to work this morning, I met this scraggly looking guy wrapped in a tarp with a banjo on his head, and he told me this exact same thing.
@Librarian I agree God loves quiet, probably more than noise, IMO. He also loves illiterates and lunatics.
Just a thought: yell might be a misspelling of y'all.
While reading this, I grew more and more confused and frustrated trying to make sense of it. Then, when I read the title of it, I burst out laughing and it was all OK again...
God loves yellow too.
God loves you all.
You see love.
I see God is in you.
Love is good.
I will one day in my eyes see love.
God is love.
God loves you all.
I don't know if that's any clearer, but it's all good.
huh????
I think there is a hidden message. In bible study it was said that the Bible if full of hidden messages and some people believe that to mean secret codes referencing to locations of events in the Bible, or to the end days, etc. It's only theory but maybe this individual took it to heart?
is full of hidden messages...sorry.
Nightingale, that's not only a bit clearer, it's also quite beautiful. Thank you.
Perhaps this note writer meant to say:
"Group therapy, combined with drugs, produces somewhat better results than drug treatment alone, particularly with schizophrenic outpatients."
but simply mispelled it.
Most of the lines make just as much sense backward as forward, and in fact the last two lines form a rhyme when read backwards, so it's more poem-like that way.
@ John. hahahahahaha. Super!
...and the beauty is that despite the non-sensical ramblings of whoever wrote this...God loves its author.
Lyrics sheet for Catholic Heavy Metal band 'Nuns 'n' Rosaries' big hit "God Love Yell!"
A classic audience participation number...
Is this note incomprehensible or is it just that I don't understand the find because English is my second language?
@Eline:
Definitely incomprehensible.
As a copy-editor, this makes my brain hurt. Perhaps some punctuation would help?
God? Love! yell, you see. Love me! see, he be in you. Love is Good. I will, one day, in me. eye is Love. God is Good. God? Love. (yell)
Eline, it is incomprehensible, and therein lies its beauty.
Eline, I believe that for whoever wrote this note, English is THEIR second language. That is what I instantly thought as I read it. I can just see someone looking up the words in an English translation dictionary. I think it is sweet... someone trying so hard to express the love of God, but not knowing the language.
Reading it straight through it reminded me of a section of "I Am the Walrus:"
"I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together."
Maybe that's just me. And I actually had to use a calculator to solve the spam protection question. Very sad.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!?!?
Brugabgurgabgugabgruga (cartoon head shake thing).
I, um, don't...Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!?!?
This find is giving me a brain freeze.
This may be to old for Shneh, but since you gave us the "creepy" comment, here goes:
Ayn Rand is love.
god love yell
cuz i'm feeling well
10-day flu
made big boo hoo
but well is good
and good is well
so big god yell
GOD is Good...no matter how you read it.
I thought the note was beautiful.
It's beautiful BECAUSE you can't understand it.
But somebody out there does. And that's all that matters.
I forgot to log in... haha :D
Theists are weird.
I like the fact that this song feels the need to state that "love is good" because this (unlike most songs that just take love's goodness for granted) opens up the possibility that love is actually not good, which happens to be my position.
Also, god doesn't exist, but i really like the chorus of this, and need to find some reason to just shout "GOD LOVE YELL!!" at the top of my lungs on the street sometime. Maybe next time some religious nut is accosting me with their pamphlets.
I think there should be some good BRASS accompaniment at the GOD LOVE YELL! chorus. Trumpet and trombone. Ba DAP Ba Dap!
Swing.
Rex, why wait for a religious nut?
It's written in American Sign Language, ya'll.
It makes perfect sense.
:)
Oh! Amazing, that makes sense. But still, why the yell? Is it encouraging the audience to yell? Because I don't think that would go down at bible camp. Nuns might have to ruler slap some kiddies, it could get ugly.
I've been to a God Love Yell before. It gets pretty crazy. You can't really hear the love part what with all the yelling, but it's the god part that counts I guess, or maybe it is the love that's important, I can never remember.
very confused....
