about

Winter Solstice is the day with the shortest daylight and the longest night. Once the solstice passes, the night only shortens until the cycle continues to ebb and flow. We have all been at that time in our lives where, after a certain point, you have chosen a path that has a direction, whether it was intentional or unintentional. Most times, that direction is often muddled and enveloped, while there are other times when you know and feel that you are at such a watershed moment. Do not put judgment to this sweet spot, however, because that’s not the point here. The whole point is to highlight what a remarkable opportunity that you just witnessed to cherish. Amidst myriads of these dots forming a line, is where my story lies, where your chapter is written and where our books are shelved.

lyrics

I feel the winter solstice coming anew, again.
And as the seasons are passing through,
Will we be lost in the dark, will we ever see the end?
I don't want to take it here, anymore,
All that we're looking for, we will ignore it.
And I don't want the seasons to turn again,
Will we ever be the same, or different?

Breath easy my friend.
It will all be there again.
When the cold comes today,
It''ll take us away.
Take us away.
Take us away.

This is worth all the waiting.
Time freezes, easing your pain.
Flipping through all the pages.
Here today, throw it all away.
Open the door, I am with you.
Breath in, see through,
And we will be there soon.

I feel the smoky haze obscure our view again
Light from the fires cutting through.
Piercing its way through the dark, coming straight for you.
I can feel the ground beneath my feet again,
No way we can go back where we started.
We can't look back to where we have been,
Will this conversation end, or begin?

Breath easy my friend.
It will all be there again.
When the cold comes today,
It''ll take us away.
Take us away.
Take us away.

This is worth all the waiting.
Time freezes, easing your pain.
Flipping through all the pages.
Here today, throw it all away.
Open the door, I am with you.
Breath in, see through,
And we will be there soon.
