Truth

The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

"I always say goodbye I watch the stars from my window sill, the whole world is moving and I'm standing still..."

All this beauty
You might have to close your eyes
And slowly open wide
All this beauty, we traveled all night
We drank the ocean dry
And watched the sun rise



You can ask about it, but nobody knows the way
No breadcrumb trail to follow through your days
It takes an axe, sometimes a feather
In the sunshine and bad weather
It's a matter of getting deeper in, any way you can


I can see your new awake
Let me assure you friend:
Every day is ice cream and chocolate cake
And what you make of it, let me say
You get what you take from it so be amazed
And never stop, never stop, never stop
You gotta be brave


'Cause all this beauty
You might have to close your eyes
And slowly open wide
And watch the sun rise
And watch the sun rise
And watch the sun rise 


All this beauty
You might have to close your eyes
And slowly open wide
All this beauty, we traveled all night
We drank the ocean dry
And watched the sun rise



Well, after a lengthy vacation from blogging, I've decided it was about time to post something. Might be a little big more of having to read what I'm writing from here on out...I've decided after mostly hiding behind quotes and lyrics it's time to let my voice be heard and become something relevant...the main audience being my later self...Its been seeping into the blog more recently anyways-but I think in light of the transition I've had it's time to transition the blog too. After careful observation of the interactions happening around me, I am beginning to adjust to being out on my own in the wide wide world. Wide open spaces...I was told by a friend this week-it's a process, and this I have to remind myself...things take time to really adjust and sometimes you just have to ride it out day by day. It's true-I know how ahead of myself I often get...and it's been so good to just experience each day as it comes and to not be constantly wishing and waiting for life to work out how I want it. Life is so interesting right now...and I believe that I've circled around to the beginning of something new and that's really exciting to me. Anyways...I found this "give love away" painted on a wall and I thought it was perfect...and it made me think of the weepies song. The whole song is really great...but the best line...

And what you make of it, let me say
You get what you take from it so be amazed
And never stop, never stop, never stop
You gotta be brave

Anyways, just something to think about...
