I’m moving to Ajijic Mexico on August 15th, into an interfaith spiritual community called Namaste Village. It also serves as a place for folks to retire, but I don’t intend to retire till I reach the ripe old age of death.
I wanted to help my thirteen-year-old daughter and I process our feelings about this move, as this is a huge transition for our relationship, and it breaks my heart to think of living so far away from her. (Ahh, grief, such an inescapable and beautiful part of life.)
Yes, there will be frequent visits and regular weekly zoom calls, but to help honor and feel all the emotions around this, I wrote her a song, and then looked at the lyrics and realized it’s more for me.
And maybe for anyone else who might be facing, embracing, resisting, or accepting….CHANGE!
(If you are not in any of these categories, please check your pulse.)
I cry almost every time I sing it, especially at the end.
Time For Fly
Time for do; not for try
Time for guts; not for shy
Not the time to weight the why
Time for fly
Time for faith; unseen hands
Time to sense who I am
Trust my compass not my plans
Time for fly
Everything’s has it’s season
Stepping stones on the way
But one more step can’t take me further
I see the concrete falling away
Time for peace; not for stress
Time for simple; not success
Not the time for more but less
Time for fly
Time for slow; not for rush
Travel for play; not serious
Not the time to drive the bus
Time for fly
Everything has has it’s season
Stepping stones on the way
But one more step can’t take me further
I see the concrete falling away
Time for grace; not for grudge
Time for space; space for love
Not the time to cleanse or smudge
Time for fly
Time to look; not at phone
Time to see earth my home
Not the time to feel alone
Time for fly
Everything’s has it’s season
Stepping stones on the way
But one more step can’t take me further
I see the concrete falling away, fading away
Time to soar; not to hide
Time for heart; open wide
Time to spread these wings and glide
Time for fly
Time for do; not for try
Time for guts; not for shy
Time for Zoom, not goodbye
Time for you and I…
Time for fly
PS. Hey friends, if you feel moved, you can help me move!
I have some significant international moving/relocating expenses.
Once I get there and get situated the cost of living is so much better there.
But for now, this change is expensive, to say the least….
