allowing things to be there......

i have the best sons in the world.
i climbed into the car with two of them last nite.
on our way to pick up the third....
and as we drove down our street, i turned to them
and said "can i just cry? i just really need to. would
that be okay?"

and ya know.......they were really okay with that.

yo was drivin' and he reached over and held my
hand. josh was sitting behind me and his hands
immediately went on my shoulders.

these guys are gonna make awesome partners for
some lucky women.

i cried. told them my sadness. they let me. and then
we moved on.

it was so cool.

i could really move on because they allowed me the
space to just feel. they loved me thru it, and then it
was time for fun. we goofed off the rest of the nite.....

the sadness isn't gone......but it's allowed to be there.

and that in itself feels kinda cool.

'allowing things to be there' is going to be my focus
today.......
should be interesting........

Title: Jem - Just a Ride lyrics

Artist: Jem

(Inspired by Bill Hicks)

Life, it's ever so strange
It's so full of change
Think that you've worked it out
then BANG
Right out of the blue
Something happens to you
To throw you off course
and then you

Breakdown
Yeah you breakdown
Well don't you breakdown
Listen to me
Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
no need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you round and round
Sometimes you're up
sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
don't be scared
don't hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
but don't forget it's just a ride

Truth, we don't wanna hear
It's too much to take
Don't like to feel out of control
So we make our plans
Ten times a day
And when they don't go
our way we

Breakdown
Yeah we breakdown
Well don't you breakdown
Listen to me
Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
no need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you round and round
Sometimes you're up
sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
don't be scared
don't hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
but don't forget it's just a ride

Slowly, oh so very slowly
except that
there's no getting off
So live it, just gotta go with it
coz this ride's, never gonna stop

Breakdown
Don't you breakdown
No need to breakdown
No need at all
Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
no need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you all around
Sometimes you're up
sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
don't be scared now
dry your eyes
It may feel so real inside
but don't forget enjoy the ride
