Stand for something
Today I had a stimulating conversation with a good friend of mine at a coffee shop. We discussed some philosophy and psychology and the thing that stuck with me is this idea that came about of,
“If I stand for nothing, I will fall for anything”
While also recognizing that people need to make different choices for certain outcomes to come about.
I got home and immediately started writing a song.
The lyrics are attempting to grab something specific about morals and deciding which direction to push or pull, claiming that each individual is responsible for taking action in their lives.
Many of us have been shellshocked by the world recently. The government, media, and circumstances. It is so polarized and politicized that often times it feels easiest to remain unmoved and to ignore it feeling hopeless about it all.
I’m no revolutionary. But, I am moved. I have an opinion. And I’m firm about it.
I am for the light.
I am for the higher order of love and connection.
I can hold the darkness, see it, respect it, and still the power that created this song tells me that we still must choose in the face of neutrality.
There is something deep within me that knows which way I must aim for my future.
Being totally passive is to miss that aim.
I know there’s a fire burning in you. All I’m asking is that you listen to it and don’t push it away.
And I’ll write the song.
Fair enough? Cool. 🤟❤️❤️❤️
