And Nothing Else Matters
by 84adam in home, music, prose, quotes, videos
“Live in the now, and never worry alone.” – Anne Nash
Whenever I read this quote I am reminded about how my time on Earth is limited. And, it is precisely *the truth of this statement* that propels me to thrive and connect with the world while I am still here.
This quote makes me think hard about what I am doing, what am I processing emotionally, and most importantly, how I can halve my burden and double my joy through connecting with others.
Worrying is best done with a friend. Our hearts, when aligned, allow for more joy. Our minds, when in tune, move with more grace. And our souls, when allied, spread love not just to our allies, but beyond our own boundaries, indiscriminately, to everyone.
So it is, with this in mind, that I offer this note: As a way of honoring those that *refuse* to leave us alone. Let us give thanks to our friends and loved-ones, those that help us to think, to thrive, and to live in the now.
So close, no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don’t just say
and nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don’t just say
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

This Side of the Blanket
by 84adam in poetry
where am i is beyond me
words don’t really serve me now
arbitrary cliched expressions betray me
spacious, anxious, close, warm
these words approximate it
but don’t get to the essence
of where i am with you
where am i tho, seriously
this is new territory
not just sensory
an intriguing story
what will our story be?
we are both holding the yarn
enough to start a tapestry
telling the time topography
weaving our what and where
i know who
and the why is in the art
intrinsic and inexplicable
i hesitate to even form questions
questions for you
i am conflicted
seeing myself stringing together the words
that would sew the colors of doubt, fear
vulnerability
into this side of the blanket
but maybe we are resonating
taking it as it comes
as it is
taking it in and sewing our story
realizing that our yarn is a symbol
for something broad and deep
as if we could see the streams
and float in the river
as if we could see the trees
and feel the forest
where am i tho, seriously
i may be lost
so why don’t we wander
in comfort and curiosity
this is new territory
