Journal Prompt

This space will change often and will give you different ideas and prompts for journaling about life and self - reflection.

As the seasons shift into fall, my body also goes through transitions. Where do I feel the need to slow down, ground myself, or create warmth through movement? How can I honor my body’s rhythms this season while still giving it the gift of strength and vitality?

Colorful abstract background with pink and yellow flowers and bold black text saying, "I LOVE YOU AND ALL THAT YOU ARE BECOMING. -40".

Wonderment Thought

Health is less about restriction and more about connection to self, to movement, to life.

This song deals with the uncertainty of life and is about reaching our own "divine purpose." It seems that the narrator/singer is worried that he will go through life and have nothing to show for it, thus dying without having achieved anything. It also suggests that this fear of not becoming somebody, or amounting to anything can ultimately consume and depress us.

There is lot of imagery which suggests being insignificant, irrelevant or unimportant in the course of life and in relation to the enormity of the world: "JUST a blade in the grass, spoke unto the wheel JUST a grain in the morning air, dark shadow on the hill". He indicates uncertainty of direction and lifestyle choice: "I been worryin' that my time is a little unclear". This lack of direction or quest to success can distract us and alienate us from those we love: "I been worryin' that I'm losing the one's I hold dear All this apathy you feel, will make a fool of us all". And ultimately, this fear will consume us: "I been worryin' that we all live our lives in the confines of fear"

He then suggests that really we can only amount to what we have earnt; we are responsible for our own decisions and that to an extent, we have some control of our aspirations and future if we have the right approach: "I will become what i deserve".
