Rolling On

Roll away your stone, I’ll roll away mine
Together we can see what we will find
Don’t leave me alone at this time,
For I'm afraid of what I will discover inside

Cause you told me that I would find a hole,
Within the fragile substance of my soul
And I have filled this void with things unreal,
And all the while my character it steals

Darkness is a harsh term don’t you think?
And yet it dominates the things I see

It seems that all my bridges have been burned,
But you say that’s exactly how this grace thing works
It’s not the long walk home that will change this heart,
But the welcome I receive with the restart

Stars hide your fires,
These here are my desires
And I won't give them up to you this time around
And so, I’ll be found with my stake stuck in this ground
Marking the territory of this newly impassioned soul

But you, you’ve gone too far this time
You have neither reason nor rhyme
With which to take this soul that is so rightfully mine

-Mumford and Sons

I was riding in my car screaming these lyrics at the top of my lungs today. I love this song, and it sums up exactly how I feel right now. Speaking of that, I'm feeling great! Nothing like a good ole' therapeutic photo shoot to brighten up my day and get the creative juices flowing again! My photographer friend and I went exploring in downtown Kinston this afternoon and found these stairs. Further exploration down an alley, led us to this cool set of doors. I was wondering to myself while taking these photos what sort of things must happen in that little nook after hours. It was a very overcast day which leant itself to very good lighting. I'm wearing 3 of my 4 new purchases from Monday. The Hiking Ruffles Cardigan over the Sleeve Pitch Blouse(thanks Louise for the name), and the Ribbon Path Belt (thanks Saskia for that name). I love this combination! This cardigan is so soft and comfortable, I think I might sleep in it tonight! Speaking of sleep, I didn't get much of that last night and I think it shows in my eyes in these photos, but I kinda like it. Realness, honesty - it's a beautiful thing.
