wednesday wisdom #17

josh garrels recently released a new album titled "love & war & the sea in between". the whole album is absolutely gorgeous, and available for free on his website.

for this edition of "wednesday wisdom", i'm using his song, "night owl"



when the night comes,
and you don't know which way to go
through the shadowlands,
and forgotten paths,
you will find a road

like an owl you must fly by moonlight with an open eye,
and use your instinct as your guide,
to navigate the ways that lay before you,
you were born to take the greatest flight

like a serpent and a dove, you will have wisdom born of love
and carry visions from above into the places no man dares to follow
every hollow in the dark of night
waiting for the light
take the flame tonight

child the time has come for you to go
you will never be alone
every dream that you have been shown
will be like living stone
building you into a home
a shelter from the storm

like a messenger of peace, the beauty waits to be released
upon the sacred path you keep, leading deeper into the unveiling
as your're sailing
across the great divide

like a wolf at midnight howls, you use your voice in darkest hours
to break the silence and the power, holding back the others from their glory
every story will be written soon
the blood is on the moon
morning will come soon

child the time has come for you to go
you will never be alone
every dream that you have been shown
will be like living stone
building you into a home
a shelter from the storm
