My favorite hobby in the entire world is listening to music. Well, and singing at the top of my lungs. It brings me more peace than anything else I've ever known. Music was imparted in my soul from birth. Today while I was working out, this song came up in my iTunes playlist. It spoke to my soul, so I thought I'd share it with my blog readers. It's very much how I've been feeling about my life lately. Lovely.
You Are Here
The Wailin' Jennys

You wonder why you wonder when,
You wonder how now and then,
How you became who you've become
You are here, And yet you dream of being there,
Of being where you think the good life has begun
Every darkened hallway, Every fallen dream,
Every battle lost and Every shadow in between
Will bring you to your knees and Closer to the reason
And there's no making cases, For getting out or trading places
And there's no turning back, No you are here
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/the-wailin-jennys-you-are-here-lyrics.html ]
Who can say who made the choice,
In the matter of your birth
Who brought about that fateful day,
Well you are here and born with fire and desire
You're the only one can stand in your own way
And every broken arrow, Every hardened smile
Every foolish gamble and Every lonely mile
Will bring you to your knees and Closer to the reason
And there's no making cases For getting out or trading places
And there's no turning back No you are here
And every sign of love, Every seed that's growing
Every sweet surrender To that silent knowing
Will bring you to your knees and Closer to the reason
And there's no making cases For getting out or trading places
And there's no turning back No you are here...
Okay. I have to say that what I'm sending you has a quote in it that says "Be where you are. Otherwise, you will miss your life." -Buddha.
