FLOWER IN BLOOM

The spark
Nothing else matters. When you’re in love for the first time, nothing else matters. You are consumed by it and for some strange reason it feels good to be lost. To still not have all the answers and yet feel so confident and optimistic that even when life wages its wars, your love will carry you both to the other side. I’ve had the privilege of loving and being loved. Of carrying the weight of passion and desire, balanced with love through action, and through choice.  And although I may not ever be able to capture the mysteries of it all, I guess I tried to put it into a song.

Lyrics that matter most to me
“What is love trying to teach me here? That should be your question dear..”

What changed after writing it
Love gave me the permission to exhale.. And writing about love helped me realise I could actually do it. It didn’t take away my ability to see that true love still required sacrifice and humility, but what changed is that I learned to bask in the sun every time it shone. And when it didn’t shine, I’d remember that it still had the ability to shine again. 

If You’re Listening From This Place Too..
If you actually think about it, love IS like a flower. Before it can bloom, you have to make choices. Choices that will ultimately make or break it’s ability to grow. And here’s the thing.. Every flower(love) is different. What does your flower(love) need to bloom? Don’t just stand there.. It won’t bloom on it’s own.
