blessed.

The world is crazy. Cars driving by. People walking here and there. A women in a bright pink jacket. Students with their backpacks. Homeless men. People walking fast. People walking slow. What's going on in their life?
This morning I felt outside of it and laughed as I imagined just watching this crazy, frantic mess. Like a bunch of little cars and houses on a play mat with white broken lines on grey roads . Sometimes it all seems so trivial, when you really start to break it down. But it's good. The hail bouncing off the red bricks. A call from Scotty whose standing at the Starbucks counter 10 feet away. Excel sheet study guides and Albert Ellis and Rational Emotoive Behavior Therapy. YouTube. And Brett Dennen.


I welcome the sun,
the clouds and rain,
the wind that sweeps the sky clean
and lets the sun shine again.
this is the most magnificent life has ever been.
here is heaven and earth
and the brilliant sky in between.

blessed is this life
and I'm gonna celebrate being alive.
blessed is this life
and I'm gonna celebrate being alive

I dwell in the darkness
I let in the light
I sleep in the afternoon
and become the noise in the night
I trespass in temptation
suffered in sacrifice
but I awake each day with a new sunrise

blessed is this life, oh
and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
blessed is this life, oh
and I'm gonna celebrate being alive

-Brett Dennen.

Thanks Brett. I'm gonna celebrate being alive.
