Be here now.

I think I'm in love with spring because the idea of blossoms pushing through frost, overcoming the cold and bouncing back in all their beauty reassures me that things always rise up again.  And again.  

Today I devoured most of my usual internet places searching for secrets and meanings that may come up unknowingly.  I've certainly learned over my time blogging as to what inspires and warms me.  Good books and poems and music written to change my mind and world as I know it.  Nature:  wind and waves, seasons and rain and flowering.  Large spaces: welcoming fields, farms, stretches of beach and looming mountains.  Vintage photographs, curtains, and lovely interiors. Horses, shadows, feathers and tea-cups.
 Night-time and warm air.

 Big questions, small moments, and how small we truly are in this universe that holds us in the palm of its hand, gently allowing us to think... to believe the control is ours to have.  We must be here now.  In this moment.  Recognizing ourselves and what we really want.

I've always loved this song by Ray LaMontagne.  

Have a good evening. :)

"Don't let your mind get weary

And confused your will be still, don't try

Don't let your heart get heavy child 

Inside you there's strength that lies

Don't let your soul get lonely child

It's only time, it will go by

Don't look for love in faces, places

It's in you, that's where you'll find kindness

Be here now, here now

Be here now, here now

Don't lose your faith in me

And I will try not to lose faith in you

Don't put your trust in walls 

'Cause walls will only crush you when they fall,

Be here now, here now.

Be here now, here now."
