ignited bones

When you try your best, but you don’t succeed

When you get what you want, but not what you need

When you feel so tired, but you can’t sleep

Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face

When you lose something you can’t replace

When you love someone, but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below

When you’re too in love to let it go

But if you never try you’ll never know

Just what you’re worth

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face

When you lose something you cannot replace

Tears stream down your face

And I…

Tears stream down on your face

I promise you I will learn from my mistakes

Tears stream down your face

And I…

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

We sat at the Coldplay concert Thursday night. I have not felt that overwhelmingly content in quite some time. Outside of time with God, I honestly can say, that most of my world seems to always be an up and down, up and down, spinning around. Yet, Thursday night Corey and I and thousands of other Chris Martin lovers sang in unison to songs we all knew by heart. Unified as if we were all in one giant, incredibly happy family.
.
Fix you came on. The lyrics hold so much meaning to me. Especially in this time and place we find ourselves in. I cried. Soft, secret tears that the dark kept concealed (thank goodness). I just long for the day when my bones feel ignited. The Bible says that the barren womb is never satisfied. And, so I feel justified in exclaiming that my bones will not feel the freedom to truly ignite until my womb is no longer barren.
.
There have been all kinds of updates in just the past week, but I feel too weary to put them into words. Still processing. And, learning. And, yearning. And, sorting through the floods of emotions that come with each passing day …

I feel it most necessary to add that I spent Friday running around King’s Island with 10 other filled with life souls and I truly felt like a kid again. I mean sure I screamed for my life and yelled out, “WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD ANYONE PAY TO RISK THEIR LIVES?!?!?!” Oh, but we laughed and all had our individual stories that each was eager to tell and each eager to hear. We ate burgers and fries, milkshakes and frozen lemonades and had so. much. fun. The best kind of fun. It was a nice break from all serious and mundane. Just writing about it has me giggling with each press of the keypad.

Cheers to good music and scary roller coasters!

    I forget how I found your blog, but I just wanted to let you know how much I’ve enjoyed reading through it since I discovered it. Your photos are extremely inspiring.
    ( I was at the Coldplay show last Thursday! Out on the lawn, but I was there! @ Riverbend, right?)
