down to earth
C O N F U S I O N
Confusion is a place between places.
The area where my true sense of direction
is obscured by the mists of varying emotion.
The moment before settling into my body
and allowing the potent feeling to fill me…
.
.
Here’s to Confusion.
Here’s to patterns being disrupted
by life’s unpredictable tempo.
Here’s to Not Knowing,
yet somehow grasping
I can withstand and bend
just like open waters;
being receptive to the teachings
of contrast and change
and to finally seeing.
Here’s to Lost Footing.
To being thrown off balance
and breaking through
my deep-grooved thinking
and outdated styles of perceiving.
Here’s to walking into waves
of fresh ideas and colliding
with radical ways of being.
Here’s to Frustration
and Disorientation.
To climbing out of the rut of habit
and swimming into waters of freedom.
Here’s to Discomfort
and Dissatisfaction;
how they lead me to deeper paths
and redirect my attention to
the light of alternative reason.
Here’s to Pains of Truth
overcoming erroneous roots.
When even the simple things
become strangely complicated,
here’s to forming new concepts,
gathering bold insights,
and to gaining with each
untried day, a life deeply lived
with grace, spilling over
with meaning.

All of your smarts
don’t fit in the lifeboat.
Your accomplishments
are too heavy for this parachute.
Even your thoughts
are only junk in your pockets.
The ideas people have of you,
even your own,
make quite a pile,
don’t they,
enough to fill a grave,
too big a pile
to fit through
the tiny door to heaven,
the little keyhole
into real life.
All that fits through
the needle’s eye
is your soul.
Why are you
afraid of that?
Thread this realm
with your beauty.
You are a song,
it passes through,
whole and perfect,
and fills the world.

Took a leap of faith
Thought I’d learn how to fly
Lookin’ for rainbows
And dreams passing by
Looking for answers
To a whole bunch of lies
Tryin’ to be anybody but me
had no idea how hard life could be
As I started to fall
As I crashed to the ground
picked myself up
and here’s truth that I found
—-
Learned I must bend
So I won’t break
How to get real
Not be a fake
Chose to smile through the pain
And never to hate
Now I’m flying so high
While I’m walking around
Cause the sky doesn’t end
Till it reaches the ground
🌎
Living each day now
Each step by faith
It’s so good to be
Right here in this place
Just You and me now
Stopped asking why
Don’t need the answers
to all of the lies
found I Am all that I need to be
ready to live ‘cause it’s time to be free
finding my way through blue skies or gray
🌞
Cause I’m walking on sunshine
On top of the world
Hooked on this feeling
Yes, I’m one happy girl
💃
Learned to find rainbows
Right in the rain
Found out I had more
The more that I gave
Chose to be happy
Not to complain
Living with passion
I know what Im worth
Cause life didn’t start
Till I got down to earth
🌈
Yes, I’m flying so high
While I’m walking around
Cause the sky doesn’t end
Till it reaches the ground
