[spacebar]

Life starts to rush quickly by

picking up pace with each rotation. 

Words, questions, problems 

come tumbling forward, leaving a path

of exhaustion in its wake.

[spacebar]

Battle-weary I fall into you. 

You become my breath; 

replacing the tightened chest with a sigh of relief.

You become my heartbeat; 

replacing the rapid flutter with a steady beat. 

Peace washes over me 

as I rest in your protective embrace. 

[spacebar] 

As the sun fades into night, 

I remain hidden in the folds. 

When the sun returns, 

I arise refreshed,

ready to fight once again.

Be still and know that victory is near.

Music Monday: [light]

Better late than never...there is something about January winter light that makes me fall in love with light all over again...though this season it may have something to do with my prayer for Flagstaff this year. Plus you can never go wrong with a  little Mumford.

Cheers.

Welcome 2013!

Happy New Year from the Haystacks 2.0! Hope it is a good one filled with adventure and blessing!!!

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Sorry to have been MIA the past 2 weeks but I will be back with updates from our holidays soon. It's been a busy season but also very fun and joy filled. 

Cheers to 2013!

Music Mondays: White and Fluffy

This is a song in honor of all the snow outside!

And because Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin are wonderful....





If you live in a place with no snow... I'll make a snow angel for you.

Cheers.

Snow Day

We woke up to this...

and to this...

and a phone call declaring a SNOW DAY...

which means a lot of enjoying this....

will be happening. Perfect day following a midnight showing of The Hobbit with friends. Snow Angels and Snowballs followed by Hot Chocolate [with Bailey's of course] all around!

Cheers to a White Christmas.

Music Mondays: Violin + Dubstep + Ice Castles

Discovered the talent of Lindsey Stirling today... my husband and I both may have a crush on her.

Oh and she's playing in these cool Ice Castle things that are in Colorado. I wish I knew how to play violin...


So enjoy some epicness this Monday!

p.s. The "Skyrim" theme one is pretty epic and she has Christmas ones!

Cheers.

Music Mondays: [on a Thursday]

Music Monday didn't happen because on Monday I woke up thinking it was Tuesday and then on actual Tuesday [which then felt like Wednesday] I remembered I forgot to post...So here is it Thursday and it's only kinda music...

It's been an off week if you know what I mean.

So on this Thursday night enjoy this video [which has music] made by a very talented miss that I know...

She also has a blog and is a fantastic photographer with a gigantic heart for adventure... Like Morning Sun is totally worth checking out.

Cheers.
