Tidbits...

Drops from my brain while sitting and enjoying the mountains last August.  (unfortunately it does not translate well - the feeling is lost)

 ****************************************************

Jūtu vēju par visu

Turos pie zemes ar kājām, ar prātu

Gars ir priecigs kad ir miers

 ****************************************************

Zils, Zils, Zils – ar vēju un smaidu.

Vejš apkampa un aicina

****************************************************

Tikai saprašana

Tikai tā momenta ir svariga – tas ir visums un pasaule – nekas vairs nav.

Neko citu nevajag, jo viskas ir šajā brīdī

****************************************************

 Aplis sarkani deg - ikviens ir laimīgs

Avots ir pilns ar labvēlību

Var smelt visu dienu – aka ir pilna

Ramblings of Rage?

Anger is a gift! (name that band...)

So when is it my turn to be angry and unleash my rage upon the planet?

Better yet, why, why, why would I even want to be that angry and upset?

I've experienced blood boiling rage - not a fun place to be and even though it was warranted at the time, I never want to go back to it. It was caused by the person who inspired the majority of my best writing. (deep pain brings out some good writing, right?)

The FML phrase - there have been times in life where things have really, really sucked but I don't think that I’ve had a FML moment where you just want to check out.

You find joy somewhere and take it from there.

Seriously, life is too short to spend it being pissed off!

Repeating...

Little bird,
I won't prey on you....

I won't prey on you this time.
 

I'm your faith....
I'm your faithhealer.
I'm your faithless companion.
 

The song popped into my head and is spinning on repeat today....

I know the reason but I do find it amusing that out of all songs, my brain chose this one!

 

Mountain Top...

It was a quick day trip up the mountain but it reaffirmed that the correct decision was made and I am right where I am supposed to be....

Soul Charmer....

I made a quick Happy Hour stop last night and received a hero’s greeting when I walked in the door.  Seriously whoah – there was no doubt that I have been missed.

After some chats, a very, very familiar song came on the radio – another throwback – “Nearly Lost You” by the Screaming Trees!  (of course it became a FB status) 

Tie this in to “This Must Be the Place” by The Talking Heads and “Home” by David Byrne and Brian Eno being on repeat and I have been in a musical cocoon for the past week in an attempt to find my center in the craziness of my work days and current events.

It is definitely helping!

I'm Aching All Over...

I got a hangover and it's all because of you, making me crazy…

The song just gets better and better with age!

The long tangle of lyrics is something that stays with you - most of us can recite it in full.  Since I now have the song as an mp3, I was also able to fulfill a request that was made two decades ago.  Nothing like a bit of a throwback to my confirmation to get one dancing!

But I’m much too lazy to find me someone new, cause there nobody else who will do, who wouldn’t do the things that you do…

It started because a camp friend was looking for a copy of the album and he specifically tagged me and two others in the request.  It spurred a lengthy conversation about what is going on in the world today and how this album brought him reassurance during our country’s path to independence back in the 90’s.  They worked hard to make sure that they could join NATO and the EU.  My double citizenship would not have been possible if they were still an occupied country.

This big beast was only dormant – they have been scheming and plotting to get back to where they once were.  They just rolled over and let the world run without them?  Not a chance. 

All of our small countries are vulnerable – there are too many troops being moved to the borders.   Plus, the big superpower is too far removed from a World War to combat the other countries that are gearing up to make it happen.

This peace is fragile. 

You think it’s so funny to spend all my money and even keep the change, you what can I do now, I must get thru somehow, either that or become deranged…
