Technical Difficulties

Apparently the "Go Now, and Live" post didn't actually post, so I just copied down the words from the image. I really wish it had worked the first time, but oh well. Hope you go and take another look at it and actually get to read it. :) I really like it.

Go Now and Live

Go now, and live.
Experience. Dream. Risk. Close your eyes and jump. Enjoy the freefall. Choose exhilaration over comfort. Choose magic over predictability. Choose potential over safety. Wake up to the magic of everyday life. Make friends with your intuition. Trust your gut. Discover the beauty of uncertainty. Know yourself fully before you make promises to another. Make millions of mistakes so that you will know how to choose what you really need. Know when to hold on and when to let go. Love hard and often and without reservation. Seek knowledge. Open yourself to possibility. Keep your heart open, your head high and your spirit free. Embrace your darkness along with your light. Be wrong every once in a while, and don't be afraid to admit it. Awaken to the brilliance in ordinary moments. Tell the truth about yourself no matter what the cost. Own your reality without apology. See goodness in the world. Be Bold. Be Fierce. Be Grateful. Be Wild, Crazy and Gloriously Free. Be You.

Go now, and live.



Thank you Chelsea Rhodes for sending this to me. It is so beautiful, I almost cried. I know I'm a sappy little girl. :P But I couldn't help it. I love you.

Blue Lips

"He stumbled into faith and thought, God this is all there is
The pictures in his mind arose and began to breathe
And all the gods and all the worlds
Began colliding on a backdrop of blue

Blue lips, blue veins

He took a step but then felt tired, he said I'll rest a little while
But when he tried to walk again, he wasn't a child
And all the people hurried fast, real fast
And no one ever smiled

Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet
From far, far away
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet
From far, far away

He stumbled into faith and thought, God this is all there is
The pictures in his mind arose and began to breathe
And no one saw and no one heard, they just followed lead
The pictures in his mind arose and began to breed

They started out, beneath the knowledge tree
And they chopped it down to make white picket fences
And marching along the railroad tracks
They smile real wide for the camera lens
They made it past the enemy lines
Just to become enslaved in the assembly lines

Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet
From far, far away
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet
From far, far away

Blue, the most human color 
Blue, the most human color
Blue, the most human color

Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet
From far, far away"

Flash

I miss the flash of the camera.
The light blinding my eyes.
Watery and red
make-up hung upon them.

I miss the click of the lens.
The way I could connect
with the person behind it.
Communication in a mere second.


I miss the characters I became.
Putting on different personalities
trying on crazy life styles
losing myself in the fun of it all.

I miss the make-up artists
the way they transformed my face
older, younger, bolder,
all in the stoke of a brush.

I miss the adventures I went on.
Subways, buses, planes
driving 8 hours home and back alone
meeting so many amazing people along the way.

I miss the way the sunset on the skyline
spectacular views from my roof
of the city that filled my heart with magic
held me when I fell, on my way to dreams.

I miss the ones who became a part of my soul
sharing beds in the cold winter nights
cuddled in blankets, sipping hot tea
parties where night never came.

I miss you.
That part of me I left behind.
I feel you call to me
but I can not return.

Not yet, anyway.

Heart Songs

My love for you is a caged songbird longing to sing freely again.
