His Journey To Zion

The last time he opened his heart it was disregarded by those he trusted. I think thats why he's shut the doors of love long ago. I've tried to be as supportive as i can, i've always tried to be close without stepping on toes and i hope he knows i'd do anything for him. i'd lie for him i'd fight for him.. if he needed blood i'd slit my throat to give him all that i had. But does he see that? i'm not sure he does. i think the curtains of hurt that he pulled down around himself shade him from the world around him. It shaded him from everything he hates, everthing he's scared of, and sadly, everything he loves. Now he has lifted this curtain to step into the only thing that makes him happy.... the simple life. 
yes, the simple life, no not the reality show, just the simple life. simple as in no car, no cell phone, no tv... just you, a tent and the outside world. the simple life is where we all once came from and where we all would be if we knew what was best for us and the soul. the simple life consists of little to no money and only rely's on the good lord for life. my dad always taught all his kids to be simple. growing up, my dad would always make me listen to a song called simple man. i've tried my best to live the words of that song


Mama told me, when I was young

Come sit beside me, my only son

And listen closely to what I say.

And if you do this

It will help you some sunny day.

Take your time... dont live too fast,

Troubles will come and they will pass.

Go find a woman and youll find love,

And dont forget son,

There is someone up above.


(chorus)

And be a simple kind of man.

Be something you love and understand.

Be a simple kind of man.

Wont you do this for me son,

If you can?


Forget your lust for the rich mans gold

All that you need is in your soul,

And you can do this if you try.

All that I want for you my son,

Is to be satisfied.


Boy, dont you worry... youll find yourself.

Follow you heart and nothing else.

And you can do this if you try.

All I want for you my son,

Is to be satisfied.

If you haven't heard the song.. go get it.. now.. its awesome. but it makes a good point. we don't need gold or anything of the world to make us happy. i've actually known people who only care about worldly things. i've actually dated girls that only cared about the car they drove or how big their engagment ring is.. its sad to see how pathetic they all were.. i dated a girl named rachel who was probably the most pathetic of all of them.. she cared so much about material goods it made me sick.. i was lucky enough to get away from her cause i couldn't see myself with someone who cared so much about something that can be bought. she actually LOVED material things... how can you waste your love on worldly goods? i believe we only have so much love to give. we can't be passionate about 25 different things at once.. i believe true passion can only be given to a couple of things.. so if your passion lies within money or material goods.. how can you be passionate about what is important? like family and god... its amazing to me how pathetic people can be and where their heart truely lies. i believe what makes us happy is finding out who we are and following our heart.

 knowing that,  i wish him the best.. i hope he finds who he is and holds on to that for eternity. i love him and wish him a safe journey in his quest of searching his soul.  i hope he will lift the curtain during this time and let those close to him love him for who we see him to be.. 

so jas.. be good, be safe, have fun; be a simple man, don't ever forget who you are, and always remember.. yeah ya can...  i love ya bro..
