The root. . .

You can dig all day and never find the root
You gonna get dirty child looking for the truth
If you looking for an answer what's wrong with the truth
Keep digging child looking for the root

What are you digging for? We all strive for different goals and achievements in life. When we try to seek out the root of something, it usually is something that we cannot let go of or refuse to give up finding because it plagues on your mind, eats up hours of your time and becomes an obsession that you must pursue. When it comes to families, it might be secrets or stories that surface that you never realised existed. You try to search for answers and sometimes when you find those answers, they surface truth(s) that you may not yet be ready to hear. Do you have the perseverance and endurance to keep digging until you find the truth?

Look for love
It must be love
Look for love
It must be love

Searching for answers will become paramount when you are no longer satisfied with unanswered questions of blank walls. How does love motivate us to search for answers? Love might be the reason that you want to gain answers, to show that you love someone or love your family. Are you willing to show love for yourself while you are doing all this digging? Dedicating yourself to a mission that nobody is willing to accompany you on, is a lonely journey. We can never really time things well. Situations inevitably move beyond our control and our best laid plans evaporate when we least expect. 


Come on now mhmmm
And we keep reaching
Reaching for the fruit
We keep digging, digging for the root

When we reach for the fruit, is it good fruit? Did we do enough digging to expose the root, to see if it was going to bear good fruit? Sometimes we expect to enjoy the fruit but have little to do with the care and nurture that it needs in order to grow. When you cast your eyes over your life, what have you done that has been fruitful? When will we know when we are done digging? The answers we might find may only lead to more questions, more confusion and more attempts to try and figure things out. Do you have people that can help you dig? It can hard enough to dig for the root on your own.

Look for love, It must be love
Look for love, It must be love
It must be love, Look for love
Ooooh ohhh yeah ooh yeah keep looking

When you do things in life, there is motivation that drives you to do them. For most people. their families are a huge motivator for pursuing goals that will either elevate them or just to care for them. This includes all of the friends and loved ones who have come to rely on you being able to continue to do things in this vein for so long. Accepting whether you continue to play a role in life, to conform and to ensure that you fit in, will either be a positive or negative for you. I guess this is why we keep looking for love, because why would we go through all the traumatic experiences that we have - without it?

We keep reaching, digging aaah ha, keep loving, loving, loving
Keep looking
Look for love, find your love
If you're looking for an answer, what's wrong with the truth
Keep digging child looking for the root

I hope that whatever you are reaching for, that you are able to reach for it with the right support when you need it. Gathering fruit for others may be your calling in life, helping others to reach for their own fruit. So how can we continue to be collaborative and care for others who may not realise they need that care the most? We can only arrive at answers that are meant to find us. Whether we can adapt and shift according to the challenges that come our way, only our instincts and habitual practices will carry us in good stead or lead us into certain disaster. But do not despair. The worst thing of all is if we stop digging. When the universe sees fit to reveal all you are seeking, just keep digging, keep digging for the root. . .

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...
