We Are Young (Acoustic)
What a song…

In Your Image
Under the sun, you shine like the incarnation of youth
At nightfall you glow, like you just made love to the moon
You are elegance, you are patience, you are reflection, you are still
Your beauty shines from your inside out,
Reaching outward upward into the skies,
Your branches know no realm too high,
Your roots know no soils too deep
There are no limits to your courage
Under the sun
Your fruitful seeds spill out over your skin
You are open hands and generosity
You are selflessness
Under the moon
You are wisdom, enlightenment and truth
You are humility and grace
But your sacredness is undervalued at best, neglected and challenged
They raid you, from your insides out
Deep inside your mines and your waters so deep
Scavenging for a dollar
exploiting all they reap
Sucking the air right out of your lungs
You are exhaustion, you are bare
You are forgotten
Yet still your tides rise and fall with the moon
You are forgiveness, you are hopeful, you are inspiration
In your image I will teach my children to grow
Through your eyes, I will show them the world
With your hands I will build their home
5 Minutes to Reflect
After you’ve answered all these questions for yourself… then ask, so what do will I do with this answer? It’s up to you to be happy. And asking the right questions is the first step…
We’re Back, B!
What’s going through my head right now: “What do I even say after 4 months of silence?” It feels like I haven’t blogged in years. The past few months have been….. full of life- new experiences, new lessons (every day), new conversations, new thoughts, new heights.
It seemed like the longer I went without blogging, the harder it was to start back up. The more ground I began to lose, the more ground it seemed I had to cover. But as (someone) has said, it’s not so much where we start that matters but simply that we do at all.
After graduating this past May and moving back home, the adjustment period has been (or at least seems to have been) long and slow. I’ve been practicing patience, both with myself and with those around me, and the patience to be present with where I am now.
I’m still practicing these things. I’m right in the thick of it all, and I’m ready to get back on the horse and share my journey. Hopefully we can all learn a little something new every day. After all, if we’re not here to learn something, what are we here for?
Stay tuned and see you soon!
P.S. I truly appreciated all your sweet e-mails while I disappeared. It gave me a push to get back on here and get at you all!
