Search Lights
There come certain times in my life when I can no longer guide myself. Things get too muddled and everything is moving too quickly. I'm lucky to make it through the day, let alone uncover the mysteries of why my life is the way that it is. So it is during these times that I look to the wise words of others to be my guide posts-my lighthouses visible from the deep ocean-to keep me following the journey that I was menat to follow. And now is one of those times, my friends. Amidst the rubble of newfound heartbreak, my mother's mysterious and frightening illness, the busiest work schedule that I have ever had and a new apartment-I am searching for a navigator. Or maybe a narrator for that matter...

And as always, I look not to the great scholars or religios leaders-but to my passionate core-the artists: song lyrics, poems, screen writers. In my opinion that is where the most honest words of the human condition can be found. In this specific case a scene from Grey's Anatomy-my favorite show to say the least. i was obcessively watching it yesterday on DVD (I'm insane when I Love a show) and this scene reminded me that even when people are hurting us and pulling us in a million directions and we are tempted to shut everyone out and stop Loving because we have no more to give or lose to another-it is what life is about. It is where the true beauty is found. I needed that reminder.

At some point you have to make a decision.
Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in.
Life is messy. That's how we're made.
So, you can waste your life drawing lines
or you can live your life crossing them...
Here's what I know: if you're willing to take the chance,
the view from the other side is spectacular.

I don't know if you needed them as much as I did, but I hope you enjoy them....
