Live beyond the boundaries of what it means to be free. Ride on the wind past the very last tree and sail over the cliffs where the lands meet the sea.
For a storm brews in us all. Not of rains, fires or gales. But one of love everlasting, for love forever prevails. It fills up our lungs and bolsters our sails.
And our ships will leak in the darkest of storms, but there’s always a light, that shines as it warms. And sometimes we refuse to see it, but hope comes in many forms.
With a voice of youth, the words and wisdom of age, the music of Tyler Lyle never fails to calm a nervous heart and a worried mind. Few things can make you look past the pale fluorescent glow of an office or auditorium and be lost but present.
To This Day.
Not a song, but I highly encourage you to watch this.
Tragedies happen, but they don’t invade every single part of your life. The kind of reaction like, “Oh, we can’t talk about this, or we can’t about something related to it.” Listen, people do these kind of things, they put bombs in crowds because they can’t affect people on a massive scale, a massive bomb going off in a densely crowed pack of people…it killed two people and hurt over a hundred people. Those are big numbers, but a lot more people than that die all the time. What the real weapon is, is fear and terror. These people are monsters. Anyone who’s going to take a bomb and put it in a crowd of people are monsters. Just like these make-believe monsters that people get scared of, they feed off of fear as well. What we can’t do is play into that. We can not let them feed off of our fear. We can’t give them the pleasure of watching us like little children, jump from the carpet to the bed. We can’t let them witness us running up the basement stairs after we flick off the light because we’re afraid. We do not have to be afraid of the dark that they live in. - Burnie Burns
With eyes as blue as the ocean,
She sets me alight like a lighthouse in motion.
Her love, it heals like a videogame’s potion,
While my world, it moves, in slow locomotion.
and no man is an island, oh this i know
but can’t you see, oh?
maybe you were the ocean, when i was just a stone
you are a great and uncharted sea, with a soul as deep as trenches.
it is too far for me to swim, i have only skimmed the surface.
you sway to and fro, gentle yet tameless.
i toss pebbles into you and watch as they sink to your bottom, never to see the light of day again.
did you feel it?
do you feel the stones splash as they strike your surface?
do you feel them slowly sink to your floor?
your waves lap at my ankles, drawing me into your depths.
i long to dive deep into your waters, to taste your salt on my lips.
but i am afraid of drowning, of losing sight of the beach.
i am afraid of your waves pushing me back, rejecting me.
so i stand on your shores as your wind blows through my yearning heart, never to set sail on your waters.
A thousand songs I have sung,
I got a hundred thousand more in my lungs,
But they never seem to be enough,
To keep you by my side.
This is incredible.
I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it’s these things I’d believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn’t all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.
To the ones that keep you alive,
To the ones who stoke the fires of your heart,
Who forge a new strength inside.
For love is wild, and love is untamed,
It causes rivers to rage, and fires to roar,
and empires to crumble, at the thought of a name.
Love, an emotion, a virtue, coded deep within our souls,
That lifts us, and shakes us, and sometimes, buries us whole,
Burns red like the heat off a fierce flaming coal.
Like fire does spread, so should you spread love too,
Fan the fire that rages in your heart,
And guide your love, then see it through.
King Charles - Lady Percy
There’s something incredibly catchy about this. It’s odd. He’s odd. But it works.
