away from the city

via

"i need to get away," she whispered, staring out the window. "i just need to get away."

the noise was too much. the people were too much. the buildings, scraping the sky, were too much. it was claustrophic. it was scary. it was too much. she just needed to get away. away from the noise, away from the people, away from the buildings that crowded out the sky - away from the city.

|| sometimes we just need to get away ||

a little clean up

via

have you ever felt like everything was just too... cluttered? that's what i was feeling like with this blog. like it was cluttered. and closed. i like simple and open. i think it more reflects what i write, what i've written, and what i want to and am going to write in the future. you know what i mean? i felt like too much was reflected on how the blog looked instead of what this blog said. i think all blogs should reflect what you want to say and everything, but sometimes a design can distract, in my personal opinion, from what it's all about.

anyway, so that's a little explanation about why i changed the design so soon. i needed less clutter. i needed more open. i might change it again. who knows? i can be rather crazy. but for now, this is good. i can do this. this is what i want. simple. open.

feel your heart open

close your eyes

lift your face

to the sun

feel everything

fly away

on the wings

of the breeze

that blows

through the trees

and let your hair

fly away from your face

and your worries be

carried far away

until everything

is gone

and there is only

peace

and

freedom

|| peace and freedom. everything's clean. everything's gone. you're free. let your spirit soar in God's peace.

wild

"We are all wild at heart"

it's not all 

in the same way

but it's true

 there's something

wild

in each of us

don't let it

take control

of you

let it work

for the One

who is

the Lion of Judah

the waves are free

have you ever
just looked
at the waves
and thought
what is it like
to be so free?

light up their hearts

via

i stand on the roof

and stared out

the lights twinkling

i close my eyes

cities full of empty people

"not anymore," i whisper

i was going

to light up their hearts

you can make a difference.

lift your hands to the sky,

anna

why?

have you ever
just stopped
and wondered
why?

danger

Danger:(n.) the possibility of suffering harm or injury.

i could smell it in the air

and see it in the skies

danger

i turned and ran

november

snow flakes falling.

cold winter air.

red noses and hands.

breath looking like a dragon's.

warm, thick socks.

warming hands on cocoa.

november.

my winter's about to start.

take a deep breath and smile,

anna
