BOARDING SCHOOL.
I cannot wait.
I know I sound stupid, or crazy, but it represents everything good and wholesome in my childhood. the smell of the sea, the fish and the feeling of the wood under your feet. on a bad day, I imagine myself back there, and IT serves as an instant pick me up.
The trip isn't a regular trip to Malaysia by a bunch of Singaporeans, it is a celebration of growing up in a self-sustainable culture. it is fascinating how that small familiar hut has grown to the size it is today. the way that places works never fails to amaze me; how everyone is just so comfortable with each other. people there have a healthy respect for nature and her provisions, yet they rejoice in every catch. it is a place in the middle of the sea that people can be free, not because it has air-conditioning or an Xbox, but simply because it reminds us all how happiness is found in the simple life.
You have to live it as your life to know what i'm talking about - not a tourist who goes, sees, and then returns to another life. it's like boarding school - you live and strive your existence to go back that one time each year, and for the rest of the year you think about going back. there is no "another life", because it's just the way you live.
I can't wait to go back. Really. More than you will ever, ever know.
Just when I was low, feeling short of stable
And all that she intends
And all she keeps inside, isn't on the label
She says she's ashamed
And can she take me for awhile
And can I be a friend, we'll forget the past
But maybe I'm not able
And I break at the bend
We're here and now, but will we ever be again
'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
Away again
She dreams a champagne dream
Strawberry surprise, pink linen on white paper
Lavender and cream
Fields of butterflies, reality escapes her
She says that love is for fools who fall behind
And I'm somewhere in between
I never really know
A killer from a savior
'Til I break at the bend
We're here and now, but will we ever be again
'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
Away again
It's too far away for me to hold
It's too far away...
It's too far away for me to hold
It's too far away...
♥ I'VE GOT HEAVEN ON THE INSIDE OF ME.
peace and joy God has set me free.
peace and joy God has set me free.
