Falling home

I am suspended
high up in the air.

I have no fear.
Because I see the net below.

And so I walk the line.

I take these risks
that are really not risks.

Because I see the net below.

Truth is, I want to fail.
I want to fall.
I want that rush.

I want to feel like I'm flying,
falling,
tumbling towards my fate,
my destiny.

I want to lose sight of where I came from
and where I'm going.
I want to spin.

I want to be nothing but feeling.
Falling.

And then I want to be caught by the net below.
It will feel like home.
Safe.

The net lets me jump
-yes, I jump-
and do things I'd never do
if it was never there.

From one quiet soul to another

We are loud.
We are fast.
We are thoughtless.
And we move.
But our souls are quiet in unison.

You're there and I'm here.
More than worlds apart.
We don't even see the same stars.
But our souls are in lockstep and dancing.

It was but a moment,
not even a clock could record the time.
A blink you were there,
and then a blink you were gone.
But our souls are still holding hands.

Why meet now?
Why meet at all,
if this is all that's left?
Because lonely souls have a way of finding one another,
and then never letting go.

happy 'new' year

this is the thirty-first time i've celebrated a new year. thirty-one fresh beginnings. thirty-one years worth of resolutions. thirty-one years to understand that it's not about january 1st. it's about march 18th, june 26th, and october 4th. it's about taking advantage of each day, starting anew when necessary, and keeping the momentum going for those things that are going good. it's about the fact that there are 365 january 1sts if you needed them.

it's not a happy new year. it's just another happy new day.

2010 - The Year of the Bee

This is the year that amazing things will happen.

Not because it's 2010, a new decade or just simply the new year.

Amazing things will happen because I want them to. Call it manifest destiny.

And you? What do you want to happen this year?

Never forget that where there is a will there is a way, and that life never gives us obstacles that we cannot overcome.

Wishing you all a happy productive year :)
