One Step Forward...

Sometimes I write songs that are from me, love letters to the world yet simultaneously to myself - that, I don’t realize until much later.

This one is a demo from several years ago that came to mind this week. The inner voice is a major theme for me this year and something I’ve struggled with in the past out of fear. I wrote this as if I was talking to someone else but it was also my voice desperately reaching out to me too.

This week - these years have been heavy and it hits different when everyone seems to be going through it collectively at the same time. With so much devastation & destruction in the world, it feels so bleak and scary at times. That inner voice/guidance may get or feel smaller and smaller and the mind might throw in some wild stuff in the mix as both a survival and coping mechanism.

But I hope one day and soon we can continue to keep up hope and just be(come) better: Better to ourselves, each other, to the beings we share the land with, to the planet 🌍✨

And though one step forward may end up in 1 or 2 steps in another direction, may we never lose sight or hearing.

Keep going 💜

With lots of love,

ND

Oh don’t you fall under

Just like the seven wonders

You must realize

You’re a treasure in disguise

Put your hand in mine

Darling waste no time

Baby pledge to me

Even through broken dreams

Follow me

Follow me✨
