I watch Vimeo because I'm Trendy

This is a wonderful video, that we can all relate to. As a nature lover, I often find myself  feeling the same way this couple does in their video. I yearn to be in nature and away from the Noise, Noise, Noise that is our city. If you know me,  I am a very talkative person. Yet, I often am pulled to the most excluded of places. In short, I love to be by myself. I love rising in the early morning. To walk along our creek bank at the farm or listen to the distant cackle of a turkey in an early morning hunt. I love it. To wake up and go hike and not see another person is an ideal morning. So watch this video and see if you feel the same way I do. It may sound cliche, but if you really sit and examine yourself. Are you ever truly alone? Do you have a need to constantly be surrounded by noise and people?

The Age Old Question.

I sit here and think about my life.
What to do, when to do it.
People and their expectations abound.
I sit in this silent turmoil to scared to utter a sound.
What will become of me in these years to come.
"That is so cliche" sounding to some.
Surprisingly this is how many of my generation feel.
We sit alone in the movie theater that is our life and watch our life's rapid reel.
College, an option? A good job? A good wife? A good life?
These are The Age Old Questions.
He is with me in all dark places.
His love fills my heart,my doubts, and a poor sinners empty spaces.
With Him I can do all that I want.
The Age Old Question is what?
I sit here and listen to my house as it sleeps.
The sounds of the baseboards giving my room heat.
Warmth,security, and love are carved into these walls.
My life's memories are echoed down these halls.
This house is like Him in my heart.
He is a safe place,a warm embrace.
After toiling in the trials of a young juvenile's day.
Some say your in the prime.
I say life is hard. In your time and mine.
The Age Old Question of life is answered.
God is with me in the valley.
He is here.

Explains exactly how I feel

Isn't religion so funny in this way? So I have had the equivalent of a bad day ,but of course He comes in and makes it all better.
¹ I call on the LORD in my distress, 
   and he answers me. 
² Save me, LORD, 
   from lying lips 
   and from deceitful tongues.

When you come back down - Nickel Creek

You got to leave me now , you got to go alone

You got to chase a dream ,one that's all your own

Before it slips away

When you're flying high,take my heart along 

I'll be the harmony to every lonely song 

That you learn to play 

Trapped but freed

Deadlines, lectures,fears abundant.
Bad dreams,long nights ,and thoughts oh so redundant.
Expectations, and Implications for all ages.
Many fears, some times a tear,
Oh how hard can life be year after year.
The age old questions of life and its meaning pass through my mind
Like who is watching over the stars, the sun,and the moon in the sky.
But then I remember with a smile on my face.
Their  is a being with  grace in His heart and ruling over my fate.
 He watches over me from way up above.
From his thrown high in heaven with joy and much love.

Sit back ,and enjoy

This is a band I saw this past summer that opened up for Mumford & Sons in Asheville NC. They are fantastic.

Natures Awakening, Sounds of the Farm.

Early morning the sun rises slow.

The ducks are flying fast through the gently falling snow

The rooster crows from the yard nearby

A covey of mourning doves take their early mornings flight

These are the sounds of natures awakening, at the farm. 

The smell of the old gas stove in the corner of the house ,and the distant sounds of Carolina's jazz playing an old Armstrong song.The sweet smell of coffee brewing by the back door. The grunt of the old man shuffling down the hallway preparing for his day. The rumble of the tractor,or the pitching of hay. This is a hallowed ,and spiritual place.
