2. The Lesson

(A reminder note I wrote for those days I forget the lessons gifted to me by nature’s wonders.
I hope it finds you some day, in moments you feel a little lost in this world through constant change, may we all find our way)

I asked the eagle for advice today

about how to spread my wings and fly away 

and throw all caution to the wind
and take a leap of faith and jump right in

I heard a mother whisper to her babe 

The first steps are the hardest ones to take 

It’s okay, if you shake
Get up and try again, 

you’ll find the strength


So be mindful, be brave,

don’t be afraid of change

You’ll find the reason for your pain in time 

Be grateful, be great,
and don’t forget to play

Go out and find what makes you feel alive 

And do it for the rest of your life


I still have some questions for the ocean tide 

Like how to come and go, and fall after I rise 

Learn to sway, ride the waves

Let the moonlight lead the way


So be mindful, be brave,
don’t be afraid of change
You’ll find the reason for your pain in time 

Be grateful, be great, and
Don’t forget to play
Go out and find what makes you feel alive and 

Do it for it for the rest of your life


The less I speak, the more I grow

The more I learn, the less I know 

‘Cause I don’t know anything at all 

and I don’t know anything at all


But to be mindful, be present,

and live in every moment 

Don’t forget compassion and be kind 

Remember the lesson, that everyday’s a blessing 

Go out and find what sets your soul on fire 

And do this for the rest of your life
