Awake from the depths of deep sleep

Between Two Lungs
Florence and the Machine

Between two lungs it was released
The breath that captured me
The sigh that blew me forward

Because it was trapped
Trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs

And my running feet could fly
Each breath screaming: "We are all too young to die!"

Between two lungs it was released
The breath that passed from you to me
That flew between us as we slept
That slipped from your mouth into mine
It crept between two lungs
It was released
The breath that passed from you to me
That flew between us as we slept
That slipped from your mouth into mine
It crept

Because it was trapped
Trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs

Now all the days of begging
The days of theft
No more gasping for a breath
The air has filled me head-to-toe
And I can see the ground far below
I have this breath and I hold it tight
And I keep it in my chest with all my might
I pray to God this breath will last
As it pushes past my lips
As I...

Between two lungs it was released
The breath that passed from you to me

Our Romantic Poetry


Wake Me With…

Wake me with
your softest kiss.
And I will go with you,
through the darkness.
Lead me blindly
to the place...

Stevie Wonder featuring Aisha Morris Some people ask me why always on the bright side When there's so much going on down the other side It's like I live in a bubble with no trouble And problems don't exist I chuckle and tell them that ain't the case at all It goes way back to the time when I was very small Not in mind but size and age my papa use to say You can always look at the negative But you should always live in the positive So I try everyday to live that way Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Some people live in what was and what they could have been As opposed to living in a what is and how much they can And be the first to complain about nothing in life going their way The attitude is "that I can't do nothing 'bout" And very happy with just breathing in and out The ones that when you say "lets go make a difference" They'll say "naw that's OK" So I don't waste time on the trip side 'Cause I do kno...

Grounded Spirituality

------------------------------------------------------------ GROUNDED SPIRITUALITY There is difference between being spiritual and avoiding physical and social reality, and being truly spiritual as part of being here, right now, connected to the present moment. For  The Cardinal Method of Life Connection ℠,   Hematite is a great stone to ground us and keep us aware of both our spiritual wisdom and the present moment. It brings peace and awareness of our physical reality, our bodies, and the people and environments around us.  In the  CMLC ℠ perspective ,  Hematite is a related to the Earth Chakra and connects us to the peaceful ability to consent to reality as it is, clearing away our perfectionism. It belongs to the Trigonal Crystal System, and like all Trigonal stones, it also aligns our Crown Chakra.  For more information about the concept of grounded spirituality, there's a whole chapter about it in the bo...

Lotus Blossoms

The lotus flower appeared in legends originating from ancient Egypt. It played an important part in ancient Egyptian religion. The pure white lotus flower, the only plant to fruit and flower simultaneously, emerges from the depths of the muddy swamp. Growing from the mud at the bottom of ponds and streams, the exquisite Lotus flower rises above the water and is usually white or pink with 15 or more oval, spreading petals, and a peculiar, flat seedcase at its center. A Lotus Flower is a symbol of the sun, of creation and rebirth. Because at night the flower closes and sinks underwater, at dawn it rises and opens again. According to one creation myth it was a giant lotus which first rose out of the watery chaos at the beginning of time. From this giant lotus the sun itself rose on the first day. A symbol of Upper Egypt, the lotus flower played a prominent role in the version of the creation story that originated in Heliopolis. Before the universe came into being, there was an infinite o...
