She told me a story I’ll never forget
How loss can be turned into something extraordinary
Where our focus goes, is where energy flows
How courage and connection are what we crave in this lifetime
We miss what we don’t have and we do need each other
How acknowledging our feelings is essential to heal
When we run from our feelings, they follow us.
Everywhere.
How important trust is in all relationships
When people betray you, maybe you betrayed them
How people judge others
Reveals unhealed places in their own heart of hearts
How important it is to forgive people who hurt us
Especially if you don’t receive an apology
How lovely it is to hold onto the good times
Interesting how memories run backward like a flowing river
How normal it is to experience grief in no particular order
Detangling a web of emotions is no easy task for anyone
How things will improve with time
That’s just the way it is and that is comforting
How beautiful it is to look out the window at 2 a.m.
And gaze at the stars taking up the entire sky
How finding light in the dark is always possible
When you make one small shift, it can change everything
How she misses the one she loves
When the sun kisses the moon goodnight
How life is so beautiful
She said, “Stay open-hearted…”

Much Love,

Profound message but at the same time it is not easy to forgive people who have hurt you. But I guess this is a great truth. Letting go of luggage that binds you is the only option.

Wow Rob!! That’s awesome you wrote this song, it’s really good! One thing about this apocalypse is that we are using our creativity more. Keep writing more songs and share them shamelessly here too! 😀😉

Wow! This is a strong message of “Staying open-hearted” and I love it. Deep down, maybe I needed it and will try to implement it too in my life for a more flourishing time ❤ We gotta stay open-hearted and open-minded for all the new possibilities and not stop ourselves from experiencing these based on the past.
