THE STORY OF WHO WE REALLY ARE

There are so many problems in the world today - it’d be a whole lot easier if I could turn away and say I don’t see them but that option isn’t open to me.
But that’s okay - who wants to be blind and comfortable anyway?
Who wants to live their whole life running from pain and change - I guess there are some but I don’t want to be one of them.
I’d rather be one of the ones who opens up their heart and eyes and mind the best they can – leaves a legacy of love upon the sands of time that define the story – the story of who we really are.

I’m a child of god and so are you. Trees, rocks and rivers all resonate the truth of the one spirit with the many names – call it what you want but to me it’s all the same.

Can’t you see it’s all the same? We’re only the mirror for the flame and it’s no more than a name.
What we are is one small piece of a greater puzzle and I refuse to accept a destiny of strife and struggle.
It’s time to find a new paradigm and rewrite the story of who we really are.

So take a pen and take a minute to rewrite this day without the past in it. Take back your potential from the hands of time to write the words “good” and “wise” and “kind”.

And open up your heart and eyes and mind the best you can. Be a beacon in a dark and lonely land. Tell your story so that others understand that what we are is one small piece of an infinite puzzle and yet we’re standing in the middle of all this self created trouble. It’s time to find a new paradigm and rewrite the story of who we really are.

Rachael Brady Sydney, Australia

Rachael Brady has one of those voices you only find in singers grounded by their guts into a life deeply & often messily lived.
It isn't sweet, high or perfect.

It’ll probably sing some of yours too.
Brady is currently (2024) recording her 4th studio album "Bears, Witches & Wolves" with Blue Mountains based producer Josh Schuberth. ... more
