Remembrance

Every time I miss her, I listen to this and I wonder if I ever truly healed. The heart is callused but the scabs a painful reminder, always. You pick at it, it no longer bleeds but you imagine the pain, only not too long ago, it didn't need much imagination for the searing pain to spread through you and cripple you right there and then. Tonight, I thought about a certain someone. An acquaintance or friend by circumstance whom I have gotten fond of in a short amount of time. He who has been in my thoughts lately, he who is broken, he who is trying to once again make sense of life from the remnants of it,  he whom I would have liked to get to know better and to care for, he who is sensitive and vulnerable to those he chooses to bare to. He who has lost someone, perhaps not to the angel of life but who's to say the pain is not comparable... I dedicate this to him and to anyone out there who's lost a loved one. The lyrics will hit home. 

Lyrics:-
Go to bed, everything's alright
Don't know the whole world's changing
As you sleep through the night
Wake up slowly and it's a different world

Hear the news and the floods begin
Screams so loud but only felt within
Heart is shattered
The pieces can't be found

I feel your pain
I wrote this song for you, for you
You will make it, you will make it through
I promise you he would want you to

Months go by still living in a daze
Don't know what you've done
With the last seven days
Soul is numb and life is like a dream

Helping hands but you push them away
How could they understand
Don't wanna share your pain
Afraid to heal 'cause that would mean goodbye

I feel your pain
I wrote this song for you, for you
You will make it, you will make it through
I promise you, she would want you to


One day sunlight hits a photograph
And it makes you smile
The memories dance around you now
And they make you smile

You're not alone, you'll never be
Just like the stars they oversee
And they whisper to you you're still, you're still
You're still, you're still alive

I feel your pain
I wrote this song for you, for you
You will make it, you will make it through
I promise you, they would want you to

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow

I am the sun on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die

The pursuit of happiness

Sometimes I stray,sometimes I doubt, sometimes the constant dilemma between having a steady income job and following your passion throws me down hard on my knees,sometimes I wonder if I am even cut out for this,if I am even any good..but I always come back,you are my lifelong obsession. Dance, whether its when I am performing or teaching or choreographing or catching a world class dance company performance or even an amateur dance school recital or watching people with two left feet do the funky chicken...it truly makes me happy

Wear Sunscreen

Heard this on the radio today. Never gets old. Now if only we could heed all its advice.
