Celestial. . .

Oh, what a marvelous sight
Oceans turn to gold right before my eyes
That vibrant color I crave
Wish I could taste
Take me there, take me there
I'll dive in the sky, oh the water's alive
I'll float down to soak the stars
Swim away from the night, I am swallowed by light
Suddenly love doesn't seem very far 

When the world seems like it is almost too much to bear, your thoughts may stray to things beyond your current reality. Are you aware of the celestial glow? I don't know whether this has happened to you, but I can vividly recall distinct times in my life when I have felt intense light, sat in its glow and allowed it to surround me. During these times, my imagination is much more vivid and my mind can connect to thoughts and concepts more clearly than any other time. The intense light fills me with an overwhelming joy that makes me sob in pure relief. That kind of ecstasy that brings a rapture that you cannot explain. 


Here in this castle that sits on a cloud
Something consumes this heart, rooted deep down
Now slowly I'm falling
But I don't need saving
You've already got me
You've already got me
The celestial glow is blinding

You may struggle to uncover or discover what consumes your heart. You might not remember the last time you realised that. Does this mean that when we don't pay attention to our hearts, they can go rogue and do things that you don't want it to? Maybe somebody is intent on trying to save you when you actually don't need to be saved? What if all you needed to do was just sit tight through it all and just let that celestial glow work its magic within you. Sometimes it is hard to save ourselves from our own worst instincts. When we think the battle is with others. we are actually fighting within ourselves. Trust that someone has your back. Trust that you can submit to the peace that this world cannot give. 

I'll dive in the sky oh the water's alive
I'll float down to soak in the stars
Swim away from the night, I'm swallowed by light
Suddenly love doesn't seem very far
Take me there, take me there

I hope that we remember to celebrate the light that shines within ourselves. As we embark on a new year, with even greater challenges that we have ever faced. we know for sure that we face uncertain futures. Despite this, keep centred on what needs to be done. If you don't know what needs to be done, just be still, you will soon hear and see what direction you need to take. Before launching into new territory with love, learn to love yourself first. There is no way to know for usre where we will end up, and with whom. Just know that you cannot give love to others, without being able to love that glow within. Are you there yet? Let's get celestial. . . .

To be loved by you. . .

To be loved by you is like a breeze Like the summer rain falling through the trees Like the waves that's crashing on the seas, it's easy To be loved by you is like a song Playing in your head you can dance along Like running away with the dawn, it's easy Like flowers bloom, Like my love for you It's been a long time between blog posts. So much has happened since I last reflected about life around me through music. If you have read my blog posts before, then you would know that you are meant to play the YouTube clip (see below) while you read.  I stumbled across this new song that was released today. It's Anzac Day in Aotearoa New Zealand so it's also an opportune time to reflect on the service of our countrymen for peace in previous wars. There is something oddly familiar and comforting about this melody, this song. The whole vibe drew me in and I've always been a huge Emily King fan. Are you currently with someone who helps you feel this way? What is it lik...

Masterpiece (Mona Lisa). . .

My eyes ain't used to these rays I'm feeling exposed but I hide no more I can't hide As the sun shines on all of my glory My flaws don't look so bad at all What was I so afraid of? No matter how hard you try to hide, or try to be inconspicuous, it doesn't make a damn bit of difference. Trying to be lowkey when you are on high profile horizons is ridiculous. When your skills, gifts and talents thrust you into the spotlight, you know that you have a responsibility to do your best at all times, because it is no longer about you - it is about who you represent. You might be afraid that your failures and trauma, including your human flaws will all be on display for the world to see - but who has not lived an imperfect life? Why are we afraid of being exposed? Society teaches us to conform and be uniform. Sometimes all we need to do is insist on being comfortable with all our decisions, no matter where they lead us or where we were placed - because our flaws aren't as...

I come in pieces. . .

Here I am, Just as I am . . .  If these walls could talk They would sing the saddest songs If this clock could stop I'd jump in time to when the hurt is gone I've had my share of come downs and heartbreaks And I've made a bed of mistakes Trauma is defined as a deeply distressing or a disturbing experience. In medical terms trauma is also defined as a physical injury. Somehow I think the two are connected, because sometimes the deeply distressing or disturbing experience, if you're not careful, can manifest itself into a physical injury. There have been a few friends around me who have experienced some deeply distressing or disturbing experiences.  Everyone has their own threshold for trauma too, because let's face it, there is no competition about who suffers more, it's actually about how much one person is able to maintain their sense of self while they go through these experiences.  What would you do to escape the hurt or pain you are going throug...
