Here are the thoughts I started writing out today that will hopefully transform into a full song someday soon. Ready for some run on sentences and rambling? Ok........ I was sitting on my couch looking out the window at all the snow thinking how cold it was which made me think of my dad and how much he hates the winter. And then I thought about how much my mom loves the sun which then lead to me thinking of them together and how much they've gone through and are still going through and how crappy everything's been for a while.
Sooooo I started singing this: [while I played F & C] [and I think a little Am]
"It's a cold cold day, It's a cold cold day, It's a cold cold day & I'm missing the sun"
And then I just started singing whatever I was thinking about - no rhyming necessary haha
When I was singing the first line over and over I knew sun could be a play on words for 'son' - Jesus - son of God. And then I thought about life experiences and how I know I wasn't the only one who felt... well actually DIDN'T feel Jesus at certain times of life even though I know He's always there. And it was kind of a sad moment. I then started singing "I miss the warmth of Your embrace" And as I was singing I thought about seasons and seeds and being underground...It was a whole lot of pictures and feelings and emotions. Too many at once that I couldn't organize my thoughts fast enough. I recorded every jumbled thing that came out of my mouth into my handy dandy iphone and then listened back and jotted it down in my notebook.
And that's where this status came from:
"Contemplating cold cold dark alone hidden days - covering & protection and missing the sun/son's warmth but seeing a glimpse of a bigger picture and the beauty of each season. I already feel warmer on this cold cold day..."
I started looking through winter and spring pictures on-line and came up with a visual outline to try and organize my thoughts and things I wrote down in my notebook and I posted them on this blog. Now I'm back here filling in the different thoughts and words that came out when I was playing guitar and singing.
I know it's a lot to scroll down but if you want to see more of the process, scroll on down!
It's a cold cold day 3x
& I'm missing the sun [son]
Where are You?
It's only for a season...
It can't come soon enough
Hidden underground
Covered beneath the surface
Dark and all alone
Forgotten
I miss the warmth of Your embrace
I see it unfolding
Time to grow stronger
Protected from the cold cold air
Preparation for the new season
Everything that was buried underneath
Getting ready for new growth
Here comes the sun [son]
Oh how I missed you
Springtime is just around the corner
I'm Beginning to Bloom - Reaching towards You
You give me strength
You give me everything I need
It was a cold cold day
But now you're HERE
When I don't understand anything at all
You had me covered
for just the right time
You are so good
It was a long long time
It was a cold cold winter
But I'm starting to feel the warmth of Your shine
I see the beauty of each season
I wanna take it in
Wow you made it all the way down here...
Sorry I have nothing more to write
...Except Thank You for reading :)

you're welcome. I enjoyed every minute of it. now I'm waiting for the song.
that was great! I loved the way the pictures changed as your mood changed!
Candice, this was excellent. So creative, each little piece led to the next one, kind of like the ingredients in a recipe. I like all the seasons too, but some more than others. There is a time for every purpose under heaven. Ecc. 3
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and pictures and songs. It's like going out for apple pie and ice cream. <3 MamaDonna Spring is coming soon and so is Jesus. :o)
