Sometimes I can get caught up in the news. The injustice of it all, it can feel so overwhelming
Sometimes in face of really hard things, when you don’t know what to do, the bravest thing you can do is rest. Sometimes surrendering into rest is the bravest thing you can do. Resting isn’t shutting yourself off to the pain in the world forever. Resting is taking the time to recover, so that you can give again.
Someone smarter than me can probably explain the subtle difference between numbing the pain and taking a break from it for a while - I can't always tell. But I guess this song is about giving myself permission to slow down even when there’s a fight on.
No place to go
by Tina Boonstra
Turn off the news, I can’t take anymore
Of good people fighting and shouting for war
The world is on fire, I know I know
But tonight you and me, we got no place to go
Pour out a glass and turn down the lights
Pull in me closer and look in my eyes
The world is on fire, I know, I know
But tonight you and me we got no place to go
No place to go
No place to go
No place to go
No place to go
Lay down your fears, of trouble ahead
Then in the morning, we’ll face them again
The world is on fire, I know I know
But tonight you and me, we got no place to go
