Eleven Days Left...Solsbury Hill

 Eleven days left. This hasn't been a bad school year, just really different. And strange. But let's not get into the negative. These blog posts counting down the days are about feeling good, about being happy, and about moving on. 

Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel was his goodbye to Genesis. In fact, The Crack Team researched the song more and for those who didn't know the hill is in Batheaston in Somerset, England. One day when I get to the UK I will visit this hill and feel the freedom that Peter Gabriel sung about.

Peter Gabriel said about the song...

"It's about being prepared to lose what you have for what you might get ... It's about letting go."

And not letting go in a bad way in my opinion. It's just time to move on. And it is time to move on to my next school. Someone said I hated it there. Nope. Just not a good fit. It's like the difference between buying a suit at Barney's as opposed to Sears. 

Their are parts of the song the so resonate with me, what I am feeling now.  

Eagle flew out of the night /He was something to observe/ Came in close, I heard a voice /Standing stretching every nerve/ Had to listen had no choice I did not believe the information/ (I) just had to trust imagination /My heart going boom boom boom /"Son," he said "Grab your things, I've come to take you home.

I am ready for the trip, I am ready for to be taken by the eagle to guide me but also let me know that change is not only good but everything will be alright. That'll I'll be safe. 

And that is what we all want. To feel safe. It is a big thing for me. Just because I don't feel safe with a person or a place does not mean that I don't like that person or place, but it's just how I feel. Simple. 

For all my bluster on these pages the last 13 years I'm an introvert at heart.Yeah, I know it does not seem that way, but I am. But sometimes moving on from a school is a good thing. 

"Hey" I said "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home." 

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
