insomnia session one.

my journal is quickly running out of pages.

and i have this urge to paint, and well i do not know what.

i just know painting something

could very well do the kind of soothing

my soul is longing for.

i have two colors to paint with: blue and yellow

the blue is of a robin's egg, and the yellow of a dandelion.

i may just write instead. or read. or listen.

i have been overwhelmed lately by the

busy-ness of the world we live in.

the constant go, go , go.

our culture does not let us breathe.

or let us be content with where we are.

or with what we have.

i want to live slower.

i want to take time to capture the beauty and love

that is surrounding me.

and to be grateful.

i want to take more pictures.

i want to get my hands molding clay,

i want to breathe deeper,

and practice yoga.

...this is the season.

the season to slow down.

to savor.

to celebrate in the ordinary.

to go on a road trip.

to make a home.

to pray.

to create.

...to not worry.

i am going to try to sleep.

or read

or something

but before i go...

this song, is worth pausing your life for a second to

just listen. and let the music feel for you.

"same in any language" by. my morning jacket

i hope you enjoy this song as much as i do.

it takes me to a cozy place.
