The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of all kind.

i’ve seen the world, lit it up
as my stage now
channeling angels in a new rock age now
hot summer days, rock n roll
the way you play for me at your show
and all the ways i got to know
your pretty face and electric soul
-lana del rey… beautiful song
for you
just a second, we’re not broken
just bent
and we can learn to love again
it’s in the stars
it’s been written on the scars of our hearts
we’re not broken
just bent
and we can learn to love again
this is poetry
how fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes
i struggle to find any truth in your lies
and now my heart stumbles on things i don’t know
my weakness i feel i must finally show
lend me your hand and we’ll conquer them all
but lend me your heart and i’ll just let you fall
lend me your eyes i can change what you see
but your soul you must keep, totally free…
…awake my soul…
…in these bodies we will live,
in these bodies we will die
where you invest your love,
you invest your life…
“…let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.
just keep going. no feeling is final…”
-r.m.r.
no feeling is final
It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days…Lightly, lightly—it’s the best advice ever given me. So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly, my darling.

I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can.

my song is love
my song is love, unknown
but i’m on fire for you, clearly
you don’t have to be alone
you don’t have to be on your own
oh hey, coldplay. nice one.
