no envy, no fear

Ever hear a song and just feel like it's screaming out at you to listen? I get this feeling a lot, like my music selection is giving me messages I need to hear. I've heard this Joshua Radin song, No Envy, No Fear many times but I found myself REALLY listening the other day and just had to look up the lyrics and write them in my journal.

some are reaching, few are therewant to reign from a hero's chairsome are scared to fly so highwell this is how we have to try
have no envy and no fearhave no envyno fear
brother, brother we all seeyour hiding out so painfullysee yourself come out to playa lovers rain will wash away
your envy and your fearso have no envyno fear
when your sister turns to leaveonly when shes most in needtake away the cause of painby showing her were all the same.
have no envy and no fear
every day we try to findsearch our hearts and our mindsthe place we used to call our homecan't be found when we're alone
so have no envy, no fear

I think this is a reoccuring theme for me, recognizing that I need to be okay with where I am right now. As an artist, as a mom, as a person....
So, I'll keep humming this song to myself as a reminder of no envy, no fear.
