i love this one… beautiful!
That´s going to be processed. So profound
for me… a stutered jump leads, usually, to one ol’ wing appearing first, sending me into a spiral. however, after the fear of spiraling passes, i catch the wind and force a pop from that other ol’ wing…then just try to ride the wind currents.
Yes, I’m leaving this words ’cause I saw a message, and I’d really love to receive from You, one of my favorites instruments ’cause of its soul (the harmonica) and with that words-written, coming from the very hand of You, Alanis (excuse me :S dunno how to write to you, and I feel a little strange naming you so confidently, but now I’m on the road).
But in fact, mostly I decided to write here, ’cause now that I feel so much free to do it (even more, almost required to [ha] -or maybe it’s my excuse to don’t feel a ashamed-), I really want to say that although I listen many of “Alanis’ songs”, and those words for a reason find the road straight to one or another hole of my heart, or mind, or both.. I recently read a post that particularly made me ‘click’ somewhere: it was called “Alanis Morissette: I’m Glad I Didn’t Give Up on the Idea of Marriage ”
And thinking about it, I believe that it caused me that joy (or something as same as pretty), because I felt a little identified with it: that thing about you growing up.. and the world expecting some specific things from you to do or live.. and you being not sure if you want in that precise moment to do-live those things they ask for. And the beautiful part of all this: You, standing strong with the things that you’ve built for your mind and heart.. not desperating as you keep living, not closed to the possibilities, but having so clear that all those ideas you believe in, are the ones that will let you be as sure or unsure to stay or walk.. but in all cases, that part of being honest with yourself and with the Others, is (for me) what matters. To not betray who You are, ’cause might change everything around or inside you.. but not your essence.
I’m not mother (yet), and I’m not married (yet), I’m 28, and I live my life with extraordinary people (family, friends, and a gorgeous man that since almost 4 years ago is my Life-Partner, as I am for him). I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow, but I have jumped too so many times to the unknown, and even when I have not been prepared, and the wings haven’t appeared so fast, always have had a lot of learning, and/or counted with the help of so many angels (in the form of people or things). How could I lose Faith so? :’) Thank You for your songs, your words, and for sharing your beautiful soul with us through all things you post now in this site.
[and this is the part in which I apologize if my grammar is not the best.. :S I'm from MĂ©xico (a lovely place, where you're welcome every time you want), and I'm still learning your language].
Go ahead and jump, van halen? Jump to me, mmb. I just saw an early versiong of: “hand in my pocket” and found myself effortlessly blessing you, am, and with a kund of wings I know connected to god limitlessly creating His son free to non-obtrusively unvite a filling you with my Spirit as I received my being/doing by apprived prayer, but most if it is above time, yet my was / is bridle. Jymo into being filled to overflowing. I was just being my kindness to a my chosen. I guess this is as good a moment to say I have been electronically approached by a pretty young at 25 now that is learning my/our language and arriving on a work visa. Should I ask yoy to take leap and intercead. I am for you to love is a public pass not treading out of heaven’s gate an offerung of sinless neighborly love. emalepal mmb
Wings are a good thing to have when jumping.
We all fly when we finally choose to jump…..I am on the cliff, personally (afraid of heights), and I will use those words as I jump once again, too. I forget sometimes about the ol wings and how they have served me well in times past. *must remember them now* Thanks for the reminder.
