Follow the sun - Xavier Rudd

I was having a really crappy day. Have been working fulltime for a few weeks, and while it may sound very spoiled, it was a bit much, with school and everything else going on. Lack of sun and sea never did me good. I miss the sea, never realized how of a island girl I am until I became landlocked here. We really have to start working towards our forever home. But that is another story altogether.

I hate it when everybody is sitting at their desk with headphones and not reacting to each other, but the (hardrock)music (no pun intended with all the geologists around me), was a bit more than I could take.

So I plugged in to and put the radio on random. This song came by. We know this song from a travel agency commercial on television. Never really listened to it, and never saw the clip.

I closed my eyes and just listened.

....When you feel life coming down on you, like a heavy weight.
When you feel this crazy society, adding to the strain.
Take a stroll to the nearest waters and remember your place.
Many moons have risen and fallen long, long before you came.

So which way is the wind blowin', And what does your heart say?

We are just dust blowing in the wind, so the best we can do is make our time here count. There is not enough time to be consistently unhappy with your situation. Change your situation. Work towards goals, stay open to change, don't hold on the ideas just for the heck of it, goals may change. What makes you happy today, might not tomorrow. Even while being responsible for my own things, there is still room for others. The most precious thing I can share is my undivided attention and time. 

I had some very interesting talks with a variety of people from my past and current world in the weeks after and that was good. I was really struggling with finding the room in my head and heart to be grateful of the things I had and had done and not be wistful of the things I could not accomplish right now. It is always good to re-calibrate with like-minded people.
