an.old.favorite.image

i have been busy trying to put together some images to create artwork for the house with and i came across this old one from about 2 years ago.i just love it

 

it looks, to me, like something you would find in an old Time Life Magazine.

anyway, i just thought i would share it with you and let you read this….it is the lyrics from a favorite song of mine by Ray Lamontagne called “Be Here Now”. It’s a very organic song….very simple.

And that is something i am trying to focus on right now.SIMPLICITYhaving a new house, wanting to fill it with new things, getting caught up in creating the *perfect* home is something that is too easily all-consuming.

I am not one to *slowly* do things….i want to have the house DONE…every room painted, art on the walls, new dishes, basement finished….and it is the kind of thing that will easily stress me out.

i get stressed a lot

so…..this image and these words are my attempt for today to find peace and to not let things get *too heavy* 

Don’t let your mind get weary and confusedYour will be still, don’t tryDon’t let your heart get heavy childInside you there’s a strength that liesDon’t let your soul get lonely childIt’s only time, it will go byDon’t look for love in faces, placesIt’s in you, that’s where you’ll find kindnessBe here now, here nowBe here now, here nowDon’t lose your faith in meAnd I will try not to lose faith in youDon’t put your trust in walls’Cause walls will only crush you when they fallBe here now, here now
