While playing softball last night, my son entertained himself by knocking the flowers out of the magnolia trees around the field. We didn't get home until after 11, but the boy slept until 10am. Anyone need magnolia demolition? I'm contracting him out, I could certainly use the rest.
Quote of the day....
Goo Goo Dolls "F*cking up takes practice, I feel I'm well rehearsed"
Pretty much sums up how I feel.
Sometimes it's easier to find a song, a poem, a quote, a lyric, a good for now person, a quick fix than it is to really know what you want and give your entire soul to get it. I'm starting to realize that once you have given your heart and soul like that, there really is no getting it back. They have to grow again from scratch, the phoenix, rising from the ashes of disaster. So where do you go? Take a step, a look, stand up, move, pick a direction, explore, nurse the new you? Where do you go, what do you do, when there are no stars, no sun, no light, no path, no sound in the pit you have fallen into? Sensory deprivation, emotional implosion.
I watched a movie the other night called "Hideous Kinky". A young English mother takes her two daughters from London to "escape" and go on a spiritual journey to Morocco. Why do we go to such lengths, take tremendous journeys, risking so much, to come face to face with what we were ignoring all along?
Something new from the raging battle....
Sister Hazel
"Where Do You Go"
Broke the ring around it
I can't think about it
I can barely start to even wrap my head around it
Waters rise around us
Sinking ships around us
I can't believe she even found a way inside to drown us
I'm not so sure anymore what's next
Or if there's anything left for us
What will we find inside of the wreck
Yeah we both know it's all just washed away
Where do you go and what do you do
All you have left is hanging on you
Where do you go and what do you do
When you lose everything you ever knew
Shine a light into it
Shoot a canon through it
Spill it all and hope you find a way to make it through it
'Cause down is up and up is down
And love lies dying all on the ground
You find a line that's in the sand and figure out who drew it
[Pre Chorus]
[Chorus]
Broke the ring around it
I can't think about it
I can barely start to even wrap my head around it
'Cause down is up and up is down
And love lies dying all on the ground
You find a line that's in the sand and figure out who drew it
[Chorus x2]
