My dear readers, I would like to share a song with you which resonates with me; every time I listen to it, something stirs from the depths of my being.
The song is called Burgs by Mt. Wolf. You can find this song on Spotify.
Firstly, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to its creators. And secondly, I hope you can find 7 minutes today, to listen to it. I wonder if it speaks to you like it speaks to me.
The lyrics are as follows;
I, I think if I could get you to do one thing I would say that when you get to the point that you Really feel, highly motivated, to, just, towards keeping your virtue Then you'll, you'll discover quite quickly how extraordinary a life was meant to be
Could be
And it's, it's just we get so messy, it's not that we are doing lots of wrong things Our mind is so messy We don't keep it simple And we end up making the life that we are living, so in-ordinarily complicated Completely unnecessarily, and it's such a shame to end up feeling, in a real muddle When actually, you ought to be having the time of your lives
It doesn't actually take very much to make the deepest part of us incredibly happy You know? Just to be here, just to appreciate Appreciate being here To feel that you're alive To be in touch with your heart That's it That's it
It takes mindfulness to come to a human life And then above that, it takes mindfulness and virtue To come to a fortunate human life
The chance to be part of this happens briefly The invitation is not to show how inventive and imaginative you are But how much you can notice what you're already part of And appreciate it and share it And care about those that are around who count for their welfare While you are looking out for your own, that's it And then you'll get to the end of it, having had an awesome time Knowing, that, that is something you'd recommend to others
Ah You all know You already know this place inside, where it's alright You all know that when you let the ego go, it's not this black hole that you jump into You all know it
Why can't we do it?
And yet the world is creaking under the strain of this in-ordinarily complicated Mass of humanity and actually you know, it's really simple
When you came here You came here with a sense of awe and wonder, dying to just see what it's about You know, it's like, what would it be like? To be down there? To be part of it? And you came here with a sense of wonder And somehow the wonder of it wasn't enough And we stopped wondering and started to wonder about ourselves
And in your wondering about yourself You forgot what you came here for, what you came to be a part of
It makes so much sense; have you ever had a chance to go for a mindful walk, noticed the texture of the ground, the color of the leaves and flowers?
Have you heard the singing of birds; some make such cute sounds that I chuckle. Have you felt gravity as you are walking, did you feel the air in your lungs?
Have you taken a moment to admire this amazing world that we live in and appreciated the moment, the moment of being here, experiencing life. For it's all fleeting. Don't take it for granted.
I encourage you to go for a mindful walk, allow yourself to appreciate and love your existence on this planet, as no problems are more important than your life and deep-felt happiness.
