Fear

Fear is there for us to conquer. Fear adds an importance to things. Fear tests us. Fear, ultimately, makes us strong. Fear makes us grow.

But to be fearless, is our greatest challenge.And the rewards, infinite.

The Deep

Sometimes emotions can be overwhelming, can swallow you whole like the ocean depths. Sometimes you float and sometimes you sink. And sometimes, you drown.

Elusive, Ethereal

Quiet teardrop acoustics on a clear-eyed day...

Forays

These soft gentle first few days/forays of Spring sound something like this: -

Now is the Start

Oooh, Spring is the air, new beginnings are starting to hum and sing...!
Can't you feel it? Can't you feel the world tilting on its axis? The light coming back? 

And It's Such a Drag

Monday, Monday...

By Starlight

Melancholy... musing... starlight... 'dead eyes, are you just like me?'

With Wings

 'I walk in a field with wings...'

Cold, cold frosty blue day today. Everything silver. Walking in it feels like this song:

A Lack of Colour

Exactly what January is like; especially with frost and snow. 

Acceptance...

I waited for something
and something died
So I waited for nothing
and nothing arrived...

New Year

It's a New Year... and life is out there waiting.

And my gosh, it really is wonderful and beautiful and glorious, just look!

And living is superlative.

To Wish Impossible Things

Impossible is nothing.... 

It's only impossible if you believe it to be... 

Sometimes I've believed six impossible things before breakfast... 

But what happens when it really becomes impossible and you're confronted by the stone slam of it? When you realize that that some one thing you thought possible all this time, was in fact, not. 

And suddenly all around you is lack, absence, grey. Poison. 

It feels like this: 

Winter's Tale

Season of cold and winter in every way... heartbreak like winter and the world frozen.

Starlings

While travelling in frosty weather this week, the passing white scenery seemed to sound exactly like this song: fragile and beautiful, astounding and surprising.

Slow Your Breath Down

Sometimes we need to just stop; breathe; take stock; count our blessings. Go slow and take care of ourselves. Whatever that means doing. Take a time-out.

And realise that everything will be ok.

A Light that Never Goes Out

Was reminded of this today - that even though you may feel misplaced at times, there still is a light that never leaves...

A light that never goes out. 

Even in dark places.  Even in winter.  In dark skies, look closely, for there is always light peeking through.

We're Only Human

It's only love, it's only pain, it's only fear... 
that make us human.

Decemberly

December is cold and warm, blue chilly skies and raging fires. December is dark and light - dark nights, early darkness, but lights everywhere, the sun's light returning. December is ice and fire. December is love and lonely.

But which wins out?

Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love alive?

Yes.

Back When I was Good

Sometimes I wish I could be who I used to be... the better version of myself I've lost somewhat.
And then the orchestra would soar...

Chicago

"Music helps us understand where we have come from but, more importantly, what has happened to us...inside each note is the love we are unable to express with words...Music and love are the same." 
 ~ Simon Van Booy 'Love Begins in Winter'
