RISE UP
Like a fire the leaves rise swirling like flames
The wind catches them like sails at sea
The swirl of colour as they leap their final dance
The breath of change is upon us all
Autumn is here we are approaching the cold
Warm our hearts with the rising that nature brings
Warm our hearts with the beauty of it all
Warm our hearts with what we have already
Warm our hearts with the connection to mother nature
Warm our hearts and dance with leaves
The fire of autumn will die as winter comes
Don't wait for what might be
Rise up now with the wind
Like a phoenix from the ashes
One last dance, one last hurrah, one last leap
Don't wait for winter...rise up now and dance
We’re not meant to walk this journey alone, to be separate, to be always with ourselves and never be with others.
As humans we need the energy of other human souls, we need to be connected with their energy.
It does not mean that we have to be constantly surrounded by people, however, long periods of time without interaction is as bad as being always with people.
Like everything in life, it is a balance and there is the Yin and Yang to all things.
When we simply be with others, without any agenda, without seeking something, simply being in their presence and listening to them and learning from them, sharing stories, making each other laugh, bringing joy to one another, then we not only enrich ourselves but others too. We create something even better.
The more we find what brings us together and what we have in common, rather than what we believe in our minds will separate us, the more we create a stronger connection among us all and the more we grow in a positive way as humans.
Find other souls and enrich them and ourselves…don’t be always alone.
