Just Like the Moon

Today I have learned....

That changing a toddler into his pjs while he is still sleeping is one of the cutest things I could possibly experience...

Yesterday I learned, that this certain persanoo (whom you all probably know who i am talking about) has the ability to give me butterflies that last all day....now i mean this persanoo always gives me butterflies...but this time it was ALL day.... It is an amazing thing it is to love and be loved...

On Thursday, me and Chloe were doing table topics (we went through like half the box, btw)....one of the questions was what is your favorite song lyric...I can't really choose...but... at the moment it is from this song by Brett Dennen "Just Like the Moon".... P.S. I italicized my favorite lyric part!

"I believe that you were born during an eclipse
and the stars named you moon child
Then you come you rise into my sky
you stepped in front of my sun
and it makes the whole world dark.

And you light up the night
just like the moon
just like the moon you light up the night
and sometimes,sometimes
I only get a sliver of ya
but I'm hoping
I'm hoping for a full moon tonight.

Laid back and I'm restless in the daytime
and I'm chased by these shadows
oh they're haunting me
then you come with nighttimes' wooly blanket
and you wrap me like a child
who's been in the rain too long.

Oh I've chased the moon
you know I've tried
and each time I triedeach time I failed
and each time I get so down on myself
and I can't stand this pace of a snail
while the rest of the world...
You know I, I know I know I know that I can
probably never be the same

and in the night
I can feel you love light shining bright
falling down on me like autumn leaves
and in the night
I can see you shining bright
tell me how am I supposed to fall asleep tonight"

When you give an abi a croissant....

Today, I learned...





That if I eat croissants (the Pillsbury ones)....I get very very weird....so only do it if you can accept me for my oddness afterwards (Thanks, Chloe, for being accepting!)....jeez, I love those croissants!!!!!





I also just remembered... I love that book "When You Give a Mouse a Cookie" : D





This photograph/artwork is on Etsy....i <3 it

Today I learned...

For the sake of optimism, I have decided to post everyday about what I have learned from the day....i think it will make me happy..... 

So...

Today, I have learned....

that I will never in my future of poetry writing, write a poem about an onion....now I love Pablo Neruda, and he does beautifully write about an onion....but not saying I would :)

Onion,
luminous flask,
your beauty formed
petal by petal,
crystal scales expanded you
and in the secrecy of the dark earth
your belly grew round with dew.
Under the earth
the miracle
happened
and when your clumsy
green stem appeared,
and your leaves were born
like swords
in the garden,
the earth heaped up her power
showing your naked transparency,
and as the remote sea
in lifting the breasts of Aphrodite
duplicating the magnolia,
so did the earth
make you,
onion
clear as a planet
and destined
to shine,
constant constellation,
round rose of water,
upon
the table
of the poor.

You make us cry without hurting us.
I have praised everything that exists,
but to me, onion, you are
more beautiful than a bird
of dazzling feathers,
heavenly globe, platinum goblet,
unmoving dance
of the snowy anemone

and the fragrance of the earth lives
in your crystalline nature

~Pablo Neruda

Hope for Better Days

I don't know if I have ever told anyone, or if any of you have seen this....but if I could choose one youtube dance that is my favorite, I would choose this one..... I don't know what it is.....Maybe partly because it is one of my favorite songs.... a song that I would love to sum up my life with one day. And I think it is because of the quality that the dancers bring here. There is such joy and hope that I feel when watching. The emotion and it's every word is brought to life from the bottom to the top of these dancers. And of course, Emily Shock choreographed it, so what is not to love!  

And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

     

Why don't we give love another chance?
