I Will Wait

This is one of those times when a song picks me. Everywhere I turn, this song is playing, so I reckon it is time for me to see if it has a message for me:

Well, I came home
Like a stone
And I fell heavy into your arms
These days of darkness
Which we've known
Will blow away with this new sun

I'm feeling that first verse for sure -- I'm so relieved that the days are once again getting longer and the streets a bit less ice-covered...

But I'll kneel down,
Wait for now
And I'll kneel down,
Know my ground

and I have recently recommitted myself to the practices of yoga and meditation...

And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

...and after my alone time last week, I'm just kind of settling in with my man and trying to stay in the moment rather than worry about what will happen, which I guess in a sense is me waiting for him rather than needing it to be exactly as I've choreographed it...

Now I'll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So tame my flesh
And fix my eyes
A tethered mind freed from the lies

...and I always, always try to use my head and my heart to figure out my truth and speak it...

And I'll kneel down,
Wait for now
I'll kneel down,
Know my ground

...and one of the ways I do that is through the practice of yoga and meditation...

Raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Feel my heart slow

Thanks, Mumford & Sons, for reminding me that I can take my time and let him take his, 'cause it's ok, if I wanna say:

'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
