Johnny Cash and The Meaning of Life

If you know me well, you know I love Johnny Cash's music. He understood a life less walked. Even though he himself was a rich man in the end. 

Folsom Prison. I Walk The Line. Ring of Fire.

Im a country girl at heart- but not bopping on the dance floor kind of country. The kind where Mama Tried and you'd fall into a ring of fire for me. 

What happened to music?

The reason I write it here is I want to say I'm back to the land of the living.... Graduation, books, and work - I've been working 9-5pm and it certainly has been a crumbling hum. 

But what is the meaning of life?

What is the meaning of life?
Pain.
Joy.
Love?
Who knows - because they say it's malleable and definable by each person.
The Preacher in the pulpit says it's for divination and he has the inclination that I am going to hell.

What did I do?

I go by the Golden Rule - What the mother did - Eve, so fair and so long ago - defines me?

I am woman. I am Sin?
I think not. 

I think I dance in celestial favor and move with grace that finds me in even the smallest moments.

I am no Queen. No Mother Theresa.

I am a begger. Filled with folly. 

But I am a music maker - a believer in the mightiest of pens.

What did I do? When I find joy in helping my neighbor.

Quote Of The Week and Poem For The Day



"This life is uniquely yours, my darling.  With its twist and turns - shape your soul, my dear. Embrace the path you're on, with all its triumphs and trials. For every step forward is a step into the beauty and wonder that only your story can tell." - Blue Balcita, Poet


**Inner Serenity**

In the depths of my soul, lives a peaceful sea,
Where thoughts like gentle waves caress me free.
A haven found, amidst life's stormy strife,
A sanctuary of peace, a source of life.

I'll love you, darling. 
Together, we'll create a world so bright,
Filled with love and hope, a guiding light.

I'll change the world, with purpose and with might,
Inspire others, with a shining light.
Believe in me, for I believe in you,
Together, we can make dreams come true.
