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. . . .

Closer. . .

I was cruising down the street with my head in the sky Going nowhere fast trying to stay high oh, oh Windows down my arms are waving Oh Lord I can't feel ma face no no, no no, aye, Sister please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free Brother please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free The original version of this song is upbeat. I prefer this acoustic version as it resonates more with me, something about it going deep down in my soul (or it could just be the piano accompaniment). We might think we are heading nowhere fast because we keep comparing ourselves to our peers, our contemporaries and the timeline that we set for ourselves to complete all of our dreams and goals. We forget that life happens and things outside of our control, start to take control - and this is where the real work begins within ourselves - whether we have the right support systems of brothers and sisters to sing us songs of freedom - what can we collectively do toge...

Have you ever seen the rain? . . .

Comin' down on a sunny day. . .  Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm I know it's been comin for some time When it's over so they say It'll rain a sunny day I know shinin' down like water Learning to be prepared for any given event is something that you should be able to do. I've recently discovered this amazing artist named Josh Tatofi.  I think the reason why I love his voice so much is because he sounds like my late husband.  The same smooth vocal line, the effortless way in which he dances along the melody line and does his own background harmonies reminds me so much of Loma's insistence on perfection when it came to singing, as much as he joked around about just singing for fun.  I love the arrangement of the song - it's fresh, easy going and laidback and it's something you can easily bob your head along to in the car or wherever you seem to be travelling to or from. I want to know Have you ever seen the rai...

God provides. . .

There's no more need to fight. . .  God provides, so why do I worry about my life When you come to my rescue a thousand times Every other voice it is a lie God provides It is easy to worry about your life.  It's what humans are built to do. We worry about so many things.  What people think of us.  How we act towards said people.  We worry about things that we cannot control, things we cannot hold.  We spend far too much time worrying about things that we shouldn't be worrying about.  When we think that nothing can come from anything, that's when God provides, above all else.  How many times have you been rescued?  Did you ask to be rescued?  Did you ask to be placed in those situations that required God to step in and save you?  Maybe yes.  Maybe no.  But one thing that I've come to know is that God has never lead me to a place that I couldn't get through, that I couldn't understand why I was lead there, that I di...
