The title of the blog is taken from an unreleased John Mayer (who I think is a lyrical genius, almost touching bob dylan, blake and t.s. eliot) track called "lifelines" and here are the full lyrics:
"you saw me sleeping on the couch tonight,
i know it serves you right
makes you luckier than i
all the colors in the room have changed
compared to yesterday
but brother I've discovered you
we're pushing on
we're passing through
and it wont be long
till I walk with you
tonight I'm down
I'm inside out
staring at the pictures in the album you forgot about
and isn't it a shame
times have changed
but isn't it strange
lifelines stay the same, the same
round and round
I can't believe my heart has waited this long
all along, we've been children in a cold world
where wonder was lost, every day
and if love was a compass
oh, I've lost my way"
So I really am lost - I think that this is the starting point...this blog is not eternal, just some computer script and thoughts on a screen. But I hope that my life starts to grow from this point. I'm glad I'm not starting from scratch even though re-birth can feel like it. I hope this is a new season.
So I'll end this now with another quote, from my favourite book: The Bible
