Ugh. Here it is almost mid-July already. I suppose I could say early July and still be correct. Time is flying by….
It needs to stop.
My oldest nephew asked me what would I do if I could freeze time. I told him I would clean and organize my house. Ha! I don’t think he liked my answer too much.
Well I would do more than clean my house but that would be one of the things I would do. I would also take the stillness, the hush of time, not being distracted by the rush of life (the passage of time?)…I would take advantage of that freeze to write.
I suppose that is why I like the idea of hibernation so much. It seems like the world, if not stopped, moves a little slower and I can catch up with myself.
So much going on, so much to do, so much to write about….so little time and stillness.
I am sitting here getting emotional– it is me and my husband’s sixth anniversary tomorrow. I was thinking about how blessed I am to have him and how someone– guardian angel or my (our?) ancestors, etc.– must have been looking out for me the day we ‘met’ and decided to hang out. Then I was thinking about our most awesome wedding. It makes me cry with joy and thankfulness…
Wish I could go back and have the wedding all over again. Now I have to go listen to the song we danced to. We aren’t over sentimental people but this is the song we picked:
When You Love a Woman by Journey
In my life I see where I’ve been
I said that I’d never fall again
Within myself I was wrong
My searchin’ ain’t over… over
I know that
When you love a woman
You see your world inside her eyes
When you love a woman
You know she’s standin’ by your side
A joy that lasts forever
There’s a band of gold that shines waiting
Somewhere… oh oh yeah
If I can’t believe that someone is true
To fall in love is so hard to do
I hope and pray tonight
Somewhere you’re thinking of me girl
Yes I know I… I know that
When you love a woman
You see your world inside her eyes
When you love a woman
You know she’s standin’ by your side
A joy that lasts forever
There’s a band of gold that shines, waiting
Somewhere… oh..oh
It’s enough to make you cry.
When you see her walkin’ by
And you look into her eyes
Oh…oh…oh
When you love a woman
You see your world inside her eyes
When you love a woman
Well you know she’s standin’ by your side
A joy that lasts forever
There’s a band of gold that shines… whoa
When you love a woman…
When you love, love, love
When you love a woman
You see your world inside her eyes.
— I love that song. LOL, now I am freakin’ balling. Silly!
Sometimes I wish we would have picked this song:
Feels Like Home by Bonnie Raitt
Something in your eyes
Makes me want to lose myself
Makes me want to lose myself
In your arms
There’s something in your voice
Makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts
The rest of my life
If you knew how lonely
My life has been
And how long
I’ve been so alone
If you knew how I wanted
Someone to come along
And change my life
The way you’ve done….
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I’m all the way
Back where I come from
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I’m all the way
Back where I belong
A window breaks
Down a long dark street
And a siren wails
In the night
But I’m alright
‘Cause I have you
Here with me
And I can almost see
Through the dark there’s light
If you knew how much
This moment means to me
And how long I’ve waited
For your touch
If you knew how happy
You are making me
I’ve never thought I’d
Love anyone so much
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I’m all the way
Back where I come from
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I’m all the way
Back where I belong
I haven’t written anything in a while, or made a post on here. So much going on that I can’t focus and I don’t make the time to write. Shameful. Well, it’s not like I have much time for doing things I really enjoy. Now that is shameful.
So much going on, so much to write about, so much I CAN’T write about publicly. I feel like I have been through the wringer with all that has been going on. Can I get a break? Please?
I think of Mackinac, I think of the beach, I think of wooded trails all quiet…
“Forgetfulness of your real nature is the real death;
remembrance of it is the true birth.
It puts an end to successive births. Eternal life is then yours.
How does the desire for eternal life arise?
Because the present state is unbearable. Why?
Because, it is not your true nature.
Had it been your real nature, there would be no desire to agitate you.
How does the present state differ from your real nature?
Truly, you are spirit.”
