GLITTER IN THE AIR

ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SONGS, EVER....IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN ALECIA MOORE PERFORM THIS, THEN PLEASE - GO & GOOGLE IT IMMEDIATELY. THE HONESTY OF THE WORDS, SO BEAUTIFUL. - SWx

-----------------
GLITTER IN THE AIR
ALECIA MOORE (P!NK)

HAVE YOU EVER FED A LOVER WITH JUST YOUR HANDS?
CLOSED YOUR EYES AND TRUSTED, JUST TRUSTED?
HAVE YOU EVER THROWN A FIST FULL OF GLITTER IN THE AIR?
HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED FEAR IN THE FACE AND SAID, "I JUST DON'T CARE"?

IT'S ONLY HALF PAST THE POINT OF NO RETURN
THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG THE SUN BEFORE THE BURN
THE THUNDER BEFORE THE LIGHTNING
THE BREATH BEFORE THE PHRASE HAVE YOU EVER FELT THIS WAY?

HAVE YOU EVER HATED YOURSELF FOR STARING AT THE PHONE?
YOU'RE WHOLE LIFE WAITING ON THE RING TO PROVE YOU'RE NOT ALONE
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TOUCHED SO GENTLY YOU HAD TO CRY?
HAVE YOU EVER INVITED A STRANGER TO COME INSIDE?

IT'S ONLY HALF PAST THE POINT OF OBLIVION
THE HOURGLASS ON THE TABLE
THE WALK BEFORE THE RUN
THE BREATH BEFORE THE KISS AND THE FEAR BEFORE THE FLAMES
HAVE YOU EVER FELT THIS WAY?

THERE YOU ARE,
SITTING IN THE GARDEN
CLUTCHING MY COFFEE,
CALLING ME SUGAR
YOU CALLED ME SUGAR

HAVE YOU EVER WISHED FOR AN ENDLESS NIGHT?
LASSOED THE MOON AND THE STARS AND PULLED THAT ROPE TIGHT?
HAVE YOU EVER HELD YOUR BREATH AND ASKED YOURSELF WILL IT EVER GET BETTER THAN TONIGHT? TONIGHT.

THE JOURNEY - NOT THE ARRIVAL

"I believe in the journey, not the arrival, in conversation, not in monologues, in multiple questions rather than a single answer. I believe in the struggle to remake ourselves and each other in the spirit of eternal forgiveness, in the awareness that none of us knows for sure what happiness truly is, but each of us knows the imperative to keep searching."
- Andrew Sullivan

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

TODAY I RECEIVED THE BELOW POST ON MY PERSONAL FACEBOOK WALL. I AM NOT REPOSTING IT TO PROCLAIM RECOGNITION OR BROADCAST AN WARM & FUZZY DIRECTED TOWARDS MYSELF. I AM POSTING IT TO MAKE MENTION THAT AN EMAIL LIKE THIS, WHEN RECEIVED IS NOT TAKEN OR DISCARDED LIGHTLY. IT IS BECAUSE OF EMAILS LIKE THIS, THAT MYSELF, & MY TEAM CONTINUE TO DO WHAT WE DO EVERYDAY. WE ARE VERY HONEST WITH OURSELVES, THAT THERE IS RESPECTFULLY NO 'NEED' FOR WHAT WE DO. IF THE FASHION INDUSTRY STOPPED TOMORROW, THE WORLD WOULD CONTINUE TURNING, BUT KNOWING WHAT WE DO BRINGS JOY TO PEOPLE, MAKES THEM FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES, THEN THE FASHION WE CREATE IS NOT DONE IN VAIN. I DO NOT ASSUME THIS KIND OF EMAIL IS DIRECTED TO ME PERSONALLY, I TAKE IT AS PART OF THE SW TEAM, AS A THANKYOU FROM SOMEONE WHO LOVES WHAT WE (Sarah, Nikki, Dionne, Amy, Jen, Tara, Geoff, Evelyn, Sam, Andy, Margaret, Gary, Colette, Craig, Angie, Tom, Glenn & myself) DO. -SW
