I want to sleep, I'm so weary I wonder some days...

I want a weekend, alone

I want time and space... to breathe

And sun would be nice

After sleepin' I want to run, want to feel my body sweat and tingle

I want the release of all the stuff, ya know?

So there's room to FEEL and hear that wisdom voice inside

Cuz it's being drowned out now, I can't hear it clearly

And I can't see the path either, the fog is deceiving

Ya...

sleep

time

She brightened the day of most she encountered with the warmth of sunshine and comfort of a cool breeze. There was a lightness to her, that fun-loving, nurturing, wild spirit that oozed encouragement and optimism to those close to her mostly always.

As long as she could remember, people had easily and quickly bared their souls to her, since she was young. The secrets she kept tight in the vault of her soul were treasures she took out now and then to remind herself of the trust placed in her, and the worth she felt because of that trust.

She was... strong, assured. She'd hold you up when you were weak, push you along when forward motion didn't seem possible, she wrap her love around you like a blanket and you'd feel like the world couldn't touch you in that moment.

She was grounded and balanced and whole. Her philosophies were not main stream, her spiritual bent to the metaphysical - no, she certainly wasn't.... normal, but her beliefs served her, held her solid when storms threatened, gave her hope when the darkness descended.

Do you know this girl?

Have you met her?

Where did she go?

If you see her, tell her.... I miss her terribly.

The Invitation... Again

I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself.

If you can bear the accusation of betrayal

and not betray your own soul.

If you can be faithless

and therefore trustworthy.

From Oriah Mountain Dreamer's "The Invitation"

Sometimes sacrifice comes easy, is natural, flows. Sometimes it's harder. And sometimes, it isn't the right thing to do. But when and what to sacrifice is so very difficult to determine huh?
