Harmony Green's blog! This blog highlights the music and poetic, liquid lyrics of Dan Fogelberg. I listen to a shuffled song on my iPod and write an inspired piece from that. The song is listed under 'labels' at the bottom of each entry. Enjoy!

The Art of Picking Yourself Up
Do or do not.....stop trying to live your life, friend
"I'll give it a go" she sad to me
In the try is a non commitment to success..nothing to defend
Go out and live your life, be wild and free
Yes, let's do this thing.. we call it living you know
Only trying is to be defeated before you even begin to fight
You'll be sauntering along your path....moving real slow
Cuz you forgot to grab the power and feel the delight
The delight of being connected fully in the doing
Loving fully, making beautiful mistakes
Feeling it all instead of living the practice of suing
your joy to pay off your relentless pain..as your hands shake
BE your life, live it...LOVE messy and true
If you take a wrong turn, you turn again
Until you are heading in the direction best for you
Trying instead of doing in this scenario... the only sin
Go out and be yourself in all of your messy glory
Live, love, screw up and correct it all
Rewrite the lonely end to your never ending story
Write about picking yourself up from countless falls
In the art of picking your self up off the ground
You will find the true joy in doing instead of trying
You, once lost in the try will find you will be found
The smile on your face will conquer and quell your soul's crying
Do or do not.....stop trying to live your life, friend
"I'll give it a go" she sad to me
In the try is a non commitment to success..nothing to defend
Go out and live your life, be wild and free
