Catching Fading Light

Hello Humans! I have written a couple of previous blog posts on probably my favorite song, "To Catch A Fading Light," by the Slydigs, and it's main theme of sharing your feelings, especially those of love, with everyone, because you never now how long the feelings will last or how long that person will be in your life. So, here are the lyrics of this amazing song with the gorgeous acoustic guitar and fantastic vocals.

"Tell me why, why you're feeling low. Because maybe I, I can help you. And if it's true that you can't let go, maybe I ought to know. I should have tried to make you see that you were on my mind. Forever chasing who we used to be, to catch a fading light. Time goes by, and the cold winds blow. People change like the seasons. But in my heart, you remain the same, no matter where I go. I hear the calling of the steeple bells. They echo through the night. Another journey on life's carousel, to catch a fading light. I was trying hard to be the one you need, but I couldn't get it right. It ain't as easy as it used to be, to catch a fading light."

I have been trying to do better at this, but it's definitely hard. Especially when you're someone like me who keeps emotions to themselves. I'm a Libra. It's what we do to keep the peace and be diplomates. It's in my DNA. We don't like anything to be out of balance in our universe. So, we keep a lot of things to ourselves, and only release them when we're incredibly mad, sad, or happy. And even then, it's hard for us to get those feelings out. But I've been trying, and failing for the most part. It just hasn't felt right to do it.

Although recently, I've been trying to catch some fading lights in my life. I've re-kindled my love and passion for Chemistry. I needed it after I pretty much failed my O-Chem test. I'm glad I caught it before I went full Physics on myself. I've tried to catch some fading lights with people, but have again failed to express my feelings adequately, or, I've just expressed the minimum amount to again, keep everything in balance, or, it just didn't feel right at the time. And I later found out that I was right. Thank you Universe for allowing me to be in tune with your wavelengths, so that I can feel when things are wrong and when things are right.

I've felt the Universe telling me to Catch my Fading Light this weekend. I have until Sunday to confirm that it's really what the Universe is telling me, or just my heart talking. Then on Monday we get to see if it was really the right thing. It's to one of my best friends from the end of my Junior High Career, and into the beginning of our High School careers, but then it just kind of stopped. And I think most of that was my fault. But when I reached out to him on Monday, he was so excited to hear from me. That's the power of the Gospel and of Christ's Love. It can penetrate even the most stubborn of hearts separated by thousands of miles and nearly three years. I have been praying my heart out to see if it really is what I need to do. To Catch A Fading Light. I'm surprised that there is light left for me to even try to catch. I guess we'll see on Monday what will happen between us.

But if the Universe really does tell me that Catching Fading Light is the right thing to do, then I will be ready to Catch my Fading Light. Stay wild, flower child.
