A Favorite Song: Uncle John's Band

Lyrics:

Well, the first days are the hardest days, 

don't you worry anymore.
When life looks like Easy Street, there is danger at your door

Think this through with me;
Let me know your mind.
Wo-oah, what I want to know
is are you kind?

It's a Buck Dancer's Choice, my friend, better take my advice.
You know all the rules by now, and the fire from the ice.

Will you come with me?
Won't you come with me?
Wo-oah, what I want to know,
will you come with me?

Goddamn, well I declare!!  Have you seen the like?
Their walls are built of cannonballs, their motto is Don't Tread on Me.

Come hear Uncle John's Band by the riverside.
Got some things to talk about 

Here beside the rising tide.

It's the same story the crow told me; it’s the only one he knows.
Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go.

Ain't no time to hate; 

Barely time to wait
Wo-oah, what I want to know,
where does the time go?

I live in a silver mine and I call it Beggar's Tomb.
I got me a violin and I beg you call the tune.

Anybody's choice,
I can hear your voice.
Wo-oah what I want to know,
how does the song go?

Come hear Uncle John's Band by the riverside.
Come with me or go alone.

He's come to take his children home.

Come hear Uncle John's Band playing to the tide.
Come on along or go alone.

He's come to take his children home.

Choose LOVE!

Angel in the Clouds

I have to share this!!  Although it's a shame I didn't have my actual camera on me for this one; I wish I did.  

Last Friday, after a long and exhausting week, this is what I saw on my way home: 

 

The pictures hardly do it justice.  

I was taking them with my blackberry camera which, again, doesn't have a FLASH!  Don't get me started... 

It was absolutely beautiful, as the sun was setting with fiery oranges and royal purples and midnight blues, this HUGE cloud was painted in front of my eyes.  I couldn't believe what I was seeing... I actually teared up a little bit. Okay, okay... I'm a crier anyway.  

It still gives me goosebumps to look at it.

I remember taking it as a signifying visual; one of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.  It made me feel that despite all of the stress and chaos in my life and around me, there is still peace to be found in quiet moments and there is still a reason to believe in the power of miracles, and wonder, and magic!!! 

While some may tell me I'm nuts for thinking this (they're right, but that's beside the point), and while some might have a different perception of this apparition in the sky... I am going to go the route of faith and say:  It was my angel, one of them, at least.

Kindly and with WONDER~

Silver Linings

 "The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done, we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change.  So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger, but in wisdom, understanding and love."

"Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood."

Friends-

Even if it's only for today, I beg you, be kind to yourself and know that although everything may not happen for a reason, you can MAKE a reason for everything.

Kindly and with LOVE-

Meghan
