be here now by ray lamontagne

the lyrics to this song should be perpetually playing in my ear. It reminds me of the mantra "ham-sa", that gilbert used to ground herself by baby steps... i am that. i am here. now. experiencing everything fully. not letting my one sweet life slip through my fingers.



Don't let your mind get weary and confused
Your will be still, don't try
Don't let your heart get heavy child
Inside you there's a strength that lies

Don't let your soul get lonely child
It's only time, it will go by
Don't look for love in faces, places
It's in you, that's where you'll find kindness

Be here now, here now
Be here now, here now

Don't lose your faith in me
And I will try not to lose faith in you
Don't put your trust in walls
'Cause walls will only crush you when they fall

Be here now, here now
Be here now, here now

note:
i am almost certainly making the roadtrip to go see him in P town in november. with the new roomie. who has brilliant taste in music. and anyone else who was around and cared to join.
