A Perfect Circle - Gravity

Was stuck on this song the other night, did the usual.


Order of Texts: Original English -- Sandic

Lost again
Broken and weary
Unable to find my way
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly
unable to
Just let this go

I am surrendering
to gravity and the unknown
Catch me
heal me
lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live

I fell again
Like a baby
unable to
stand on my own
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly
unable to
just let this go

I am surrendering
to gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live
Catch me
heal me

lift me back up to the sun
Help me survive the bottom
Calm these hands before they
Snare another pill and
Drive another nail down another
Needy hole
Please release me
I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me
Heal me

Lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live

Ecclesiastes 8:16-17

Someone linked me a book from the Bible earlier, Ecclesiastes. I've never read much of the Bible- it's not my thing, and I wasn't raised in that tradition. But some parts of this book really spoke to me. This passage in particular was beautiful.

This is Ecclesiastes 8:16-17.

16 When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe the labor that is done on earth—
people getting no sleep day or night—
17 then I saw all that God has done. No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all their efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning. Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really comprehend it.

From "A Book of Pagan Prayer", by C. Serith.

ON Namah Shivaya -- OM prii-kaev-hel-skee-ara

Came across this. Was listening to the Gayatri mantra and this happened to be in the video list with it.

I really like these kinds of chants! I can't capture the meaning entirely, but I can get different aspects of it in different repetitions.

This one is called "Aum Namah Shivaya", and I didn't attempt to get the entire chant. I just got the first part (and even that incompletely).

Ba iibuu biab bale:nial

I was on the porch wondering why I couldn't see the moon when this song happened. Thanks to furrykef for helping me figure out what the melody was from!

Apparently this is a weird version of "Frere Jacques", even though the song has nothing to do with it. :)

Someone shared something on Facebook and it caught my eye. Once again I do random translations of stuff, bahaha.

It apparently originated here.

Vows of the Priestess

I choose to walk my path fearlessly
To live with my Heart wide open
To be Grateful for my experiences
Which led me straight into the arms of the Goddess

And taught me compassion for all things

To forgive and forgive and forgive again
While maintaining the boundaries of my own Sacredness
Not resisting life,
but allowing it to be

To accept and embrace it
And transmute my fear and suffering into Joy
And just by Being,
give others permission to do the same.

To know that everyone is a mirror
Reflecting the light of the Goddess
All with Truth at the core of their being
All unique, all beautiful, all different aspects of Her.

that of the Awakened which had to be committed to

I have chosen to walk on my path lacking fear,
to live open(ly),
to thank for every occurrence,
for every occurrence, as they have led me perfectly into the arms of the Lady,
and they are that which has taught me of
compassion for all things.

To forgive and forgive again and forgive yet again,
though while forgiving I protect that bubble of my worthiness/honor/value
I do not fight against life, but I forgive/allow its passing,
I accept it, and carry it within me,
i am changing fear and regret in me till they are joy
and thus being
I show to the others that to do this is allowed.

To know that every one is a mirror,
which reflects the light of the Lady,
that at the center of every one there is the lasting Truth,
that they each are unique from the foundations, every one is beautiful, pieces and revelations of the All.
