Open Mic SONGWRITERS Week 8 | Walk in beauty


Hello there,

this week was especially difficult, as I have spent most of it in bed fighting with being ill. I guess they call it songwriters' "challenge" for a reason, we all have our own struggles. Today was the first day, when I felt strong enough to get out of bed, so this is what I wrote for week 8.

This week theme - till we meet again - inspired me to write about this feeling/moment of leaving a place / person / people that you love a lot, while not knowing when/if ever you will meet again. But something is telling you that you must go on, go different ways.

I have moved so many times, traveled a lot, and had to leave a lot of places, that were beautiful and sometimes I look back and wish we could stay like that forever. But, life has other adventures planned, not just staying in paradise :)
When I leave a magical place, where, I felt like at home it breaks my heart. But, isn't that how you know you really cared about something and someone?

I love this expression walk in beauty, here is a lovely explanation from : http://www.mysticmamma.com/may-you-walk-in-beauty/

To “Walk in Beauty” means to walk in harmony with all living things. It’s about being that state of awareness where you feel connected to everything around you. The Lakota Indians say their goodbyes to each other with the phrase “Walk in Beauty.”This is my wish for you today, May you walk in Beauty~

As I walk, as I walk
The Universe is walking with me
In beauty it walks before me
In beauty it walks behind me
In beauty it walks below me
In beauty it walks above me
Beauty is one every side
As I walk, I walk with Beauty.
~Traditional Navajo Prayer

Dear steemit friends, may you all walk in beauty :)
