To Hang the Stars Upon

Making Way for the Universe

I have mostly made way for the universe coming towards me, choosing not to out-distance myself from its tumbling nature. Do not panic, do not rumble, stay calm and listen to the rhythm of the heart. Yet in me that storm – that one way motorway…

It’s there, that wild light heading towards the blinding bright, leave the road…time for the trail and find my way back home. I…I burn off and on waiting for a new day rising, to shine with trust that the right way comes around again – and how true I look to a brand new sky to hang the stars upon. I…I am divided, I wonder – should I stay or should I go, to leave it all behind. But it’s times like these you learn to live, give and love again.

Remaining true to oneself is – ah-ah-ahh – critical when times do not mirror your good intentions, when all around seems an endless search for the story wall to write upon. But the best way…the best way…is perhaps to stop looking forever forward – to recognize my good fortunes were built one golden nail at a time…those that hold one together – each nail a milestone of accomplishment.

Maybe then – time and time again – I will recognize more what I have done and have –  rather than – what I need to do – and – what I think I want. For I‘m a new day rising a brand new sky to hang the stars upon making way for the universe coming towards me.

Times Like These

Dave Grohl thank you…from your message I have a message for myself.

Lyrics

I, I’m a one way motorway
I’m the one that drives away
Then follows you back home
I, I’m a street light shining
I’m a wild light blinding bright
Burning off and on
Ah-ah-ahh

It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these time and time again

I’m a new day rising
I’m a brand new sky
To hang the stars upon tonight
I am a little divided
Do I stay or run away
And leave it all behind?
Ah-ah-ahh

It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these time and time again

It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these time and time again
It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these time and time again
It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these time and time again
