Breathe

In the quiet of the shadow
In the corner of a room
Darkness moves upon you
Like a cloud across the moon

You're a-wearing all the silence
Of a constant that will turn
Like the windmill left deserted
Or the sun forever burn

So don't forget to breathe
Don't forget to breathe
Your whole life is here
No eleventh hour reprieve
So don't forget to breathe

Keep your head above water
But don't forget to breathe

And all the suffering that you've witnessed
And the hand prints on the wall
They remind you how it's endless
How endlessly you fall

And the answer that you're seeking
For the question that you found
Drives you further to confusion
As you lose your sense of ground

So don't forget to breathe
Don't forget to breathe
Your whole life is here
No eleventh hour reprieve
So don't forget to breathe

Keep your head above water
But don't forget to breathe

Breathe....

Don't forget to breathe
Don't forget to breathe
You know you are here
But you find you want to leave
So don't forget to... breathe

Just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe...
Just breathe...
Just breathe...

I stayed home again today. I felt somewhat better than yesterday, but I still slept most of the day. Can't really do that at work. I also read a lot, can't do that at work either.

Tomorrow will be better than today, so I am on the upward swing now. Just in time for the weekend. I forsee more reading and sleep ahead. I want to be ready to get back to work on Monday and get caught up.

Being off of work is great, if you can do something fun instead. And if you are off by choice. Otherwise...quite honestly, I'd rather be at work.

Product recommendation: These are a couple of things I am liking right now, especially for when I am on the go, or need to eat something but don't feel like making anything.




Edit: I get hungry every time I see this post.

Thanks for these great lyrics, they hit me in just the right place today. I used to have a professor in college, who I adored, she would say this to us every day "Don't forget to breathe", only now that I'm older do I get what she meant.

my g/f cathi says that to her kids...i love it. amazingly enough, i totally forget to do that at times.

here's another i just heard (90.9 the brigde is speaking to me this weekend):

The storm is coming
But I don't mind
People are dying
I close my blinds

All that I know is I'm breathing now

I want to change the world...
Instead I sleep
I want to believe in more than you and me

But all that I know is I'm breathing
All I can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing

Now.....now.....now.....now.....

All that I know is I'm breathing
All I can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing

All we can do is keep breathing
now...
