come as you are

Well, I might be making one of my wishes come true.
I've been planning the next alt worship, around the theme "take what you need" based on the poster I placed up in the park recently. I want there to be zones where people can seek what they need, be it rest (beanbags, mellow music and candles) or joy - mirrors and a joke book? need a bit more of thought there...
Anyhow, as people arrive, I'm hoping we can have up the song and lyrics of Nirvana's Come as you are. Some youtube versions are not appropriate but I've screened the one I'm hoping to use :)

Singing hopefully tonight - I missed it when I didn't go last week. V late night last night tho, and off to work at 8.40 - which is still a whole hour later than tomorrow's daft o clock start!!

The lyrics that are jumping out at me from songs at the mo are all about wishing I didn't have to spend time in the hard places - I'd really like to "skip to the good bit" - or encourage others to get there sooner. But of course it doesn't work like that. The good bit comes after the struggle and shortcuts are rare. So of course I shall try and practice what I preach - accepting myself and others just as we are - struggling and knackered, but still beautiful and perfect in our imperfections :D

Meanwhile I liked this pic: http://thedoghousediaries.com/5468

and I learned today that lyrics I have forever thought went "a bit of my sandwich" is actually "Vegemite sandwich". This was a lighter moment as I've mainly been failing to imagine what 200 miles an hour winds might be like.
