Sunday

This morning I worked in my garden for a bit, looked at some of my Hawaiian momentose. But, I couldn't handle being in my home anylonger, too many things remind me I'm living alone. So I pulled my hair up, grabbed a water bottle and I was out the door. I visited New Harmony, Indiana. They are having a German Festival this weekend. It is the perfect 'Americana Home Town'.  The homes there are wonderful. They even have a labyrinth! I hung out there until it started to rain. Then I drove into the pouring rain!

I love the rain!
I drove into Illinois. It's beautiful here! I have driven through woods, alongside coal cars on trains that stretch as far as I can see and over rivers.  I have driven through main streets with picture perfect architecture. I have driven past lots of small town churches. And even though I have no pull to enter any of them, I feel rather spiritual this morning. God and I have been chatting all day. I have been listening to Macklemore singing "Glorious" on repeat for about an hour now. So when I cane to a stop sign here in Midwest America, in the middle of nowhere, at an intersection that has an elementary school, a John Deer dealership and a Crossroads Church all surrounded by woods, I knew it was time to stop.
(I like the Macklemore choir pumping in my car.)

God knows my heart. I don't regret the choices I have made. I don't regret the things I have done.
I have loved without bounds, I have been willing to give everything and all. I have been honest in my dealings. I am thankful for those who have touched my life. Grateful to those who have let me love them. And I am eternally grateful for those who have loved me.

GLORIOUS

You know I'm back like I never left (I never left)
Another sprint, another step (another step)
Another day, another breath (another breath)
Been chasing dreams, but I never slept (I never slept)

I got a new attitude and a lease on life
And some peace of mind
Seek and I find I can sleep when I die
Wanna piece of the pie, grab the keys to the ride
And shit I'm straight
I'm on my wave, I'm on my wave
Get out my wake, I'm running late, what can I say?

I heard you die twice, once when they bury you in the grave
And the second time is the last time that somebody mentions your name
So when I leave here on this earth, did I take more than I gave?
Did I look out for the people or did I do it all for fame?
Legend, it's exodus searching for euphoria
Trudging through the mud to find the present, no ignoring us
Got 20,000 deep off in the street like we some warriors
My mama told me never bow your head, woo!

I feel glorious, glorious
Got a chance to start again
I was born for this, born for this
It's who I am, how could I forget?
I made it through the darkest part of the night
And now I see the sunrise
Now I feel glorious, glorious
I feel glorious, glorious

I'm feeling glorious
The crib looking Victorian (oh yes it is)
You know that we been going in (been going in)
Since we hopped out that Delorean (Delorean, yeah we win)

En garde, things are just things
They don't make you who you are
Can't pack up a U-Haul and take it with you when you're gone
We posted on the porch, my family's glasses to the stars
My grandma smiling down on me like woo, that boy got bars
Okay, okay, yes I do
I said amen and hallelujah, let me testify too
Another morning, a morning, don't let self get in my way
I got my breath, I got my faith and I remember why I came

I feel glorious, glorious
Got a chance to start again
I was born for this, born for this
It's who I am, how could I forget?
I made it through the darkest part of the night
And now I see the sunrise
Now I feel glorious, glorious

I feel glorious, glorious

We gon' be alright, put that on my life
When I open my eyes, hope I see you shine
We're planting a flag they don't understand
The world is up for grabs (Hey, hey, hey)
We gon' be alright, put that on my life
When I open my eyes, hope I see you shine
We're planting a flag they don't understand
The world is up for grabs

I feel glorious, glorious
Got a chance to start again
I was born for this, born for this
It's who I am, how could I forget?
I made it through the darkest part of the night
And now I see the sunrise
Now I feel glorious, glorious
I feel glorious, glorious
