Where are you right now? If you can, look up in the sky and try not to be impressed with how awesome it is. Just look at it? I mean awesome in the true sense of the word rather than the lazy way it is often used to describe something that’s quite good.
I remember one morning, over a year ago walking home from work (seems like another lifetime) and seeing as I had just finished a 13 hour nightshift and felt a bit spaced out I happened to notice; I mean actually notice the sky. I was really awe struck by its magnificence and the sheer vastness of it. It was beautiful.
What was special about the sky that morning? Nothing. It was a normal sky, you know the type: A bit blue, a bit grey, clouds; some white, some a bit grey. Just the sky going about its everyday business.
What was different on that morning was me. I actually noticed it, saw it and realized how amazing it really is. That’s the beauty of life. It is always there. It is up to you whether you see it or not.
The life of your dreams, your big break, the cause of you having a great day may just be seen if you stop and look for a while. Try looking up first!
Enjoy!

I love this song. It kinda makes sense to me. I'm kinda guilty of letting the past dictate my future. Everybody wants to be somewhere, that is not here. Everybody wishing they were there spending to much time in fear.
That is so true. Life is amazing and I have lots to be happy about. I need to stop living in fear and move forwards. You sound like you want to help people through your music.
Hi Keenan,
Thanks for showing up here and leaving your comments.
You got it. I do have a desire to provide inspiration to people to live a more fulfilling life of their own choosing, which I think would have the effect of a better world for everyone to live in.
As it happens I have just finished my interactive Ebook and mini-album production, which I hope will be the first of many like projects that will provide that inspiration.
I will be announcing more details on that very soon here and at my other websites.
I think you'll like it!
