soldiers & parachutes

1) i love ingrid's red hair in the parachute video

2) she has a way of putting girly emotions into catchy lyrics

3) i don't really have a 3rd reason for posting these videos other than my current relation to the lyrics

(sort of). 

oh also, i was recently told i ought to cut my hair in this style:

now, you guys know as well as i do that i could never & would never cut my hair this short.

but if there were ever a time to try & convince me to do so, now would be it.

so tell me, what do you think?

to cut or not to cut?

listening [to the heart]

a day in the mountains.

an afternoon alone.

lying on the rocks,

thinking.

listening [to the heart],

"be safe."

the gentle whisper of bird's wings,

the soft hum of flies & bees,

breathing:

finding joy in life's journey.

basking in the radiance of nature,

the sun, the trees, the flowers.

the surrounding beauty.

be safe.

thoughts drifting through;

trickling down my spine.

this peaceful stream

slipping from puddle to puddle,

gliding from stone to pebble,

yet ending

not so suddenly.

rather,

expectedly.

be safe...

listening

to the stages of the heart.

my heart;

joy,

astonishment,

& doubt

intermingled with fear.

is it safe to ineptly enjoy

without preparational thoughts

of the eventual demise?
or to even assume a demise?
what about growth?
a blossoming hope.

be safe.

how safe it is to feel safe

this song resonates within me right now

& i think it's beautiful.

i fear this song sings a tune that may be too close to my heart.

happy national talk like a pirate day!

the one that you don't recognize

for those days when:

people won't listen,

things don't go according to plan,

or words can't seem to justify the way

your thoughts & emotions juxtapose your actions,

music speaks.

st. geeeeezy

over labor day weekend, 

my friends & i took a nice little trip down to st. george.

it was so great.

we went off-roading (excessively),

swimming,

drove to las vegas for a day,

& just relaxed.

expect a video soon.

it was a good trip.
