hello Autumn-happy October 1!

Happy October 1.

I'm tiptoeing back into this space. 

For today, my most favorite words of the season thus far, written by John Mayer. 

"It's Hard To Have Nothing To Sing"

It's hard to have nothing to sing

When your head is filled with such beautiful things

Or your heart is bleeding through your shirt

And the world ain't making up for the hurt

And your lungs fill up but the words don't come

So you breathe out heavy and your face goes numb

And you feel so dumb

Well brother here's some words for you

Some road to ride, some fat to chew

Oh, I put the sun where I thought you'd need it

But I spilled some clouds where I felt defeated

So sometimes just to let you know,

They'll try their best to dull your glow

But the spirit here is top shelf stuff

We're running low but there's just enough.

And here's some colors you can use

You're more to me than just the blues

You're every shade of autumn leaves

And the light that breaks through naked trees

So steal the blanket off my bed

And tip your hat down on your head

The ride keeps going no matter what you do

Some nights it's just the moon and you

You can borrow my dreams for as long as you need

I'll get 'em back when you plant that seed

And you teach the world our morning songs

And they join their hands and sing along

In thanks for all the joy we bring

Because being alive is a hell of a thing

And it's hard to have nothing to sing. 

-John Mayer

For the ones who show up in this space to sit with the sacred and look for the rosy too, 

"you're every shade of autumn leaves."

You make the sharing worth it.  Here's to putting the sun right where I thought you'd need it.
