Your dreams are the same as mine..

I haven't written in a few days because I have had absolutely nothing to say. And what I thought I might have to say... was simply better left unsaid.

Sometimes it's better to keep the things you want to say out loud.... inside...

At least until you emotionally filter through them.

Life has such a funny way of bringing things into perspective.

There is always someone whose heart is a little more broken then yours.

Remember that.

I've been working on singing "How Great Though Art" for a friend of mine.. who recently lost someone. She wanted me to record a version of it for her... and it is one of the hardest things I've ever done. I can sing it... but I know how much it means to her.. and I know the heart behind her wanting it.

Its funny how your heart can break for someone. It's funny how you can feel the pain of another soul when you really listen.

One of my favorite quotes is:

"The boundaries which divide life from death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where one ends, and the other begins?" ~Edgar Alan Poe

I had someone else close to me today lose someone close to them. Actually.. from the sounds of it... it was just simply a completely awful day for him.

I don't have the words. I'm not that great at being able to say the things I need to... when I need to say them. I know I don't always say the right thing. I'm sorry.. I just want you to know that my heart is with you.. and I'm sending you my love and any strength I can. You're such a strong person. Probably the strongest person I've ever met. And if I could make you smile... if I could take away the hurt I would.

I don't know why awful things happen. I have to have the faith to believe it's that God has a bigger plan than we're aware of. That there's something that we can't see.

I don't know if I believe in fate... or in destiny.. but i do believe in compassion. I believe in people finding hope in each other... when you step far enough outside of yourself to just listen. To put your worries.. your struggles... your emotions aside... you learn a lot about humanity.

And one day... we'll all learn that we aren't so very different after all.
