I have made it through another week of work and so it is time to pick a song for this week. I picked this song “Below My Feet” by Mumford & Sons for my song of the week because I think it has a good connection to where I am with myself currently.
With 2013 as my fresh start I’m beginning to gain my ground again. What I mean by that is I’m doing the things I need to be doing to help make a better me. I’m eating well, I’m back to being active, and I'm sleeping regularly. All of these things are so very important to getting anywhere with myself. However we are always changing and learning so these simple things can be often left by the wayside. The chorus in this song speaks to me about being grounded when in talks about “keeping the ground below my feet” and “let me learn from where I have been”. Those two phrases resinate with me a lot. In life it is easy to get caught up and pushed around by all that goes on in life. It's always important to ground yourself as much as possible. When grounded we can focus our energy where it needs to be. For me right now that energy is focused on me.
Other lyrics I like a lot from this song are “And now I sleep/Sleep the hours and that I can't weep/When all I knew was steeped in blackened holes/I was lost”. That means something to me because I was definitely lost over last year. These days though I’m definitely in motion forward in a way that is very healthy and I’m excited to be back on track. The lyric “Just give me time” speaks to me as well because time is all I need to heal the wounds of the past.
You were cold as the blood through your bones
And the light which led us from our chosen homes
Well I was lost
And now I sleep
Sleep the hours and that I can't weep
When all I knew was steeped in blackened holes
I was lost
Keep the earth below my feet
For all my sweat, my blood runs weak
Let me learn from where I have been
Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn
Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn
And I was still
I was under your spell
When I was told by Jesus all was well
So all must be well
Just give me time
You know your desires and mine
So wrap my flesh in ivy and in twine
For I must be well
Keep the earth below my feet
For all my sweat, my blood runs weak
Let me learn from where I have been
Oh keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn
Oh keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn
Keep the earth below my feet
For all my sweat, my blood runs weak
Let me learn from where I have been
Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn
Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn
Forward. On ward. I can do this. “Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn” and my heart to love, and my head to learn. Here’s to not making the same mistakes and time to bring something new. I hope you are well and getting ready for spring...trust me it is coming. Here's to brighter days.
As always I bring this to you with love and pure D-lite. LOVE. = )
