I was suppose to take a flight today from Montana to Florida. Only to return to Montana next week. We have fires going on all around us in Montana right now. At the same time, we have a major tropical storm that is hitting Florida. Thus the reason for my trip being canceled. I have truly been learning to live in the moment. I have eliminated expectations. Right now, in my life, with the work that I am doing, it requires that. I literally at times do not know what is going to transpire within the next hour. It has taken time for me to get to this place in my soul, it did not happen over night. I am always one that liked to know what schedules might be in advance.
I am learning to embrace this new way of life as I see amazing things happen when I allow things to happen in a way that is bigger than me or what I could have done. I am becoming more experienced in listening to my gut instinct or that still small voice inside of me. At the same time, I am still trying to honor the time that I need to be just me. It is hard sometimes, to take that extra pampering that is needed for the soul and rejuvenation.
At least I am on the path of continuing to remind myself, just to get away.
Come Away With Me In The Night
Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can’t tempt us
With their lies
I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows
knee-high
So won’t you try to come
Come away with me and we’ll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I’ll never stop loving you
And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I’m safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me
-Norah Jones
