    Bare Branches

    Tuesday, January 29, 2008, 08:35 AM EST [Song]

    Winter thoughts can be deep and a little sad. You know you are still alive if you can still feel longing and desire. Then you know spring will return. In the meantime, it can feel like your life is over. Especially if you feel opportunities have come and gone, and you have buried yourself in regret and shame. Or if you feel like you are at the end of something and have not yet seen the beginning of the next path for your life. Your purpose. It's a time for letting go and waiting, of letting yourself go inside the Dream of your life. Feel all your feelings and let your thoughts spill out of your head until you are empty. And relish the whole brooding stillness even as the yearning in your heart begins to give you pain. It's good to feel the numbness be replaced by yearning and desire.

    Bare branches
    Reaching out to a grey sky
    I'm chilled to the bone
    I don't remember why
    Wonder if those clouds would come down and surround me
    Would I begin to remember love
    Would I begin to remember green
    Would I being to remember flowers blooming in my hands
     Is it too late for me to bloom
    To become, to soften and to sweeten
    Is it too late to be warm
    Oh will this winter wind just keep on blowing
    Is it too late, too late for me
     
    To be born new to life
    Feel the first breath moving through me
    Let the first bud of spring open in my hands
    Wonder if this dream would come out and wake me
    Would I begin to remember love
    Would I begin to remember green
    Would I begin to be this thing I'm dreaming
     Let me be this whole new thing
    Let me be this whole new thing I'm dreaming
