Tree

I've been kind of missing in action from blip land for the last few days. It's not that I haven't wanted to be here - I've had my camera out and about with me snapping the odd shot but mostly I've just been too busy about the business of living to actually stop to boot up my computer then download and photos let alone think of which one I might blip and journal on and then there's the commenting..... There's been too much coffee to drink and chocolate to eat and one of my closest friends has been home for a few days so we've been hanging out, cooking, drinking wine, chatting, listening to music and just chilling.

Last night we built a bonfire in the garden, lit some chinese lanterns then just sat out late into the morning making crazy plans and trying to find ways to turn dreams into realities. Not very practical but lots of fun and sometimes it's good to dream - otherwise maybe we never really know what's in our hearts and what it is we want to strive for!

This morning it was back to some reality after breakfast but I couldn't really face the business of job applications on such a beautiful day so on my way home I diverted to the local park for a leaisurely stroll where the trees are all now in delicious bloom. This wonderful tree hadn't caught my attention before so I took shot and it seemed to turn pretty well.

Tomorrow I am off out for a day with another good friend so I guess the applications will just have to wait a little longer - but that's ok who knows maybe in the meantime a dream could come true - and after all life is for living!



There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today, tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the TV page

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead, barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Well, don't let them win
Hey now, hey now
Don't let them win
Don't let them win, yeah
