93 Million Miles
BY Jason Mraz
93 million miles from the Sun, people get ready get ready,
'cause here it comes
it’s a light, a beautiful light,
over the horizon into our eyes
Oh, my my how beautiful,
oh my beautiful mother
She told me, "Son in life you’re gonna go far, and if you do it right you’ll love where you are
Just know,
that wherever you go,
you can always come back home"
15 minutes left of Fred's birthday. (1hr 15mins, if you're on Central Time)
Wowzers!! Over the past two decades, he's been almost like a brother to me...ok...he's been exactly like a brother to me:) It seems like only yesterday, he was the short little squirt I was picking on in the back seat, during our family road trips. Now he's taller than me, practically a full grown man of 22, and rocks in every way imaginable. Love this guy!
If you haven't done so already, wish my "baby" bro Happy Birthday!! Don't know him? No worries. Send him warm thoughts and wishes. They'll get to him. I promise:)
In honor of the 22nd anniversary of his relationship with this life, check out this Anis Mojgani poem. It has become a mutual favorite of ours!! Here I Am
"Will I be something? Am I something? And the answer comes Already am, Always was, and I still have time to be." - Anis Mojgan
I'm certain that he didn't write this poem just for me, but today is my birthday, so let's just pretend!! I discovered this new piece by Anis Mojgani quite randomly, and just had to post it. It seriously made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
"come closer come into this come closer you are quite the beauty if no one has ever told you that before, know that right now - you are quite the beauty
there is joy in how your mouth dances with your teeth your smile is a sign of how sacred your life actually is come into it come closer
know that something softer than us, but just as holy placed a piece of himself within our feet" - excerpt from "Come Closer"
See what I mean? Simply beautiful! Check out the vid below and be sure to pass it on. Everyone needs to hear these words.
"You are my favorite stick of dynamite You are the opposite of a rubber ban There are so many things that I would tell you If I thought that you would listen And so many more you’d tell me If you believed I would understand But I hope you know You were never meant to wear this shadow" - Sarah Kay
Like many little girls, I spent my younger days wishing for a little sister...a fellow female with hair that I could braid and clothes for me to borrow. At first I was very hopeful. I mean, my parents had gotten the job done once with me, so why not another? But, as my mother's belly grew big and then returned to normal size (once, twice, thrice) sans a baby girl, I began to realize that I would probably be the single girl child forever.
It was not easy, but I eventually got over the fantasy of having my own little sis. And today, my brothers mean the absolute world to me. They have taught me so much about beauty and love and laughter. In fact, I've learned to cherish my special role as the head femme of the Baba offspring.
So, in honor of these little knuckelheads:), check out the video of Sarah Kay reading her poem "Brother." Fantastic piece!
