Maybe it's time to bring my blog from dormancy.
I've had this song on my mind for a while:
Soul Meets Body by Death Cab for Cutie.
So what "where soul meets body" means to me, is that wherever I go, I always feel a need to have my surroundings connect with me. That is where I am happy, where my inner self is meeting its needs as well as my physical self. In Hawaii the ocean, mountains and aloha spirit did this for me. In Israel, it was the beautiful Israeli landscape, as well as my classmates, teachers, and the study of the gospel that helped me find happiness. I feel like I went out of touch with my soul for a few weeks when I came back to Utah, but now I feel happiness coming back to me.
I just got a job at Zion Adventure Company.
For the past few days, I've been hiking to get to know Zion and meeting amazing people. Today our boss went over some philosophy that made me feel even more happy. It is this: completeness. That you and I are complete beings, that we add on noble characteristics to our beings to make our actions honorable, and that no matter what, the pressure that we feel on the outside can't change what is great about ourselves. We are complete, and completely impervious. I can't explain how happy I am to work for someone so uplifting.
Zion Adventure Company is the place for me.
Soul Meets Body by Death Cab for Cutie Lyrics:
I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what its like to be new
Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
where they’re far more suited than here
And I cannot guess what we'll discover
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another’s
And not one speck will remain
And I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
Where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what its like to be new
Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
where they’re far more suited than here
And I cannot guess what we'll discover
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another’s
And not one speck will remain
And I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
Where soul meets body
