"There are many pieces that make up our lives:
Moments that break us. Moments that raise
and shape us. Decisions we make to hold
on. Or let go. People who enter our lives and
leave us changed forever. The ones we love,
the ones that hurt us, or heal us, or leave us.
Sometimes we don't understand these
pieces—or even despair over them. It's only
when time goes by and we look back, that
we suddenly can see our whole life like a
perfectly designed puzzle.
Don't be afraid of the puzzle piece you're in
now. It will fit perfectly... just like the rest.
How could it not?
The Designer is perfect."

Poetry by Yasmin Mogahed, from her book Love & Happiness

Also, did you know that I have another podcast called Chill Pills. It features the same quality of mixing craftmanship but focuses on more genres of downtempo music spanning chillout, lofi chill hop and lounge.

"Every time I got to a drop of water,
I mistook it for the ocean.
And then God would teach me.
So I kept walking.
I came across a larger drop.
I mistook it for the ocean.
Again and again He taught me.
To keep going.
Don't stop.
And don't give up.
Keep going.
It's about trust, dear soul.
Trust. And patience.
Not the still kind.
The kind that keeps walking,
Through the storm.
Through the illusion.
Through the mirage.
Through every false door,
And imaginary shelter.
It's not easy to fall on your face.
But it's even harder to get back up.
And not just to get back up...

Get back up and keep hoping.
That's hard.
That requires the deepest level of reliance.
And hope.
Beautiful hope.
Bulletproof hope.
Irrational optimism.
Nothing short of it.
Keep going.

Dear beautiful soul,
You almost drowned in drops
looking for the Sea.
Dear soul, He didn't let you drown.
You kept going.
Even when you had to crawl.
In the rain.
In the pitch black night.
You kept going.
And He is leading you, dear soul.
He is leading you, dear soul.
He is leading you...
... to the Sea."

"My heart is an open book,
Torn open by my story.
Tell them you learned the lesson.
You’ll learn it every time,
You seek completion in the incomplete.
You sought refuge in a straw house.
Then when the storm came,
You were bare and alone.
Exposed.
You spent years swallowing…
But it was only air.
And you wondered why it left you empty.
They told you stories
And you believed them…
Then waited for the tooth fairy
To bring you change.
And yet still you’d give anything
To make the story real.
Let it go.
There’s a better story.
That isn’t a story.
It’s Real.
But in it the hero never dies
Or bleeds or cries.
Find the Real version.
Memorize it.
Write it on your heart.
And then,
Give it to the world to read.
Your heart is an open book."
