You have to be the lighthouse..... right?

Its a phrase I have been mulling over...

You have to be your own lighthouse. Standing on the shore being strong, attracting those boats to you!

But on the shore, its windy, its cold, your alone in that lighthouse. Its winter there's snow, not many boats are passing by. It get lonely out there all on your own.

I wonder if I want to be part of the village instead, cozying up in front of a fire in a pub with some fine young thing and making myself happy.

Its a strange phrase. I understand it, but it promotes a sense of loneliness. As if there is only one boat for you, one path and you have to stand on your own all alone to get it. I mean yes it is important to stand strong in your beliefs, not sacrifice your own happiness and never run after every little thing that gives you attention.
You have to somehow keep those strong beliefs of "I CAN DO THIS!" and have no fear in the face of loneliness.

I also thinks its important to relish in others company, go out, find a community, find strength of yourself reflected in those around you. No one does this alone...
NO one stands like a lighthouse on the shore of forever waiting for their boat to come in. They visit the village, they cook, they make things, its all about striking a balance.

I want to be strong, confident, and powerful. A survivor of my own lifes misfortune. But I also want to be part of you, have my heart be the one you write ur poems on. I want to be part of the love that is spread, from one touch to another.

I find being a light is important, but be a torch that can be passed from hand to hand spreading your joy, your confidence your power. Be the one others can learn from. Be the example.

Don't be the lonely lighthouse...

Fill the air : let your life have meaning

tell your soul
that it´s deep and true
tell your heart
that every day is new
tell your voice
that every song´s a bird
and put some truth
into every word

tell your soul
that it´s pure and kind
tell your heart
to leave all worries behind
tell your voice
to make each song a prayer
to make it heard
and to fill the air

fill the air

tell the day
that it’s bright and new
and tell the morning
to let midnight through
tell the hours
to make each minute pray
to live it out
and to fill the air

fill the air

Waking life

I feel as if I am somehow alive an dead at the same time... As if life is simply the same as dreaming with a different element of control and freedom.

What if you are dreaming right now? How do you know what dreaming is.. Maybe your alive in your dreams and dreaming right this second...

These are questions you must ask yourself.. In the end does it matter.. If you alive right now how are you living?
Are you living everyday to the fullest potential? Or are you waiting for your dream state to escape the life you live..

What if you lived your life like a dream? What if you chose to live outside of the boundaries of everyday life? What if you wanted something you simply asked for it? What are you doing right now to fulfill your destiny your dream?
Or are you going to dream away Ur waking life .. N live away your dream state?

I think fear and isolation are the two main factors in deciding what we are ..
Dreaming or awake.. If were awake we have responsibility , we fear rejection by society and ultimately we fear death...

What if we Removed thoughs confines and simply relax into being. Accepted this is out state and we will choose to live it to the best to our ability. Because we deserve life, happiness joy love.. All come from living out your will.. Your true potential..

I realize it's lonely on the shore of your life.. Being the lighthouse stable and confident can get lonely.. It can be isolating.. But if we reach out.. Pull those people closer to us.. It will be more manageable.

I am saying in short; if you were dreaming right now.. And this was your escape .. Would you be happy?
