I heard one of my favorite songs from high school this past weekend while riding out to Santa Marinella, a little coastal town outside of Rome.  Speeding down the highway, with the window open and my hair blowing in the wind, looking across endless fields of sunflowers, there was great happiness… and contentment…  I am so blessed to be on this global soul cleansing voyage.

The lyrics seem to capture the sentiment of the journey I’m on, so I thought I’d share it with you….

Metallica – Nothing Else Matters – 1992

So close no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don’t just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don’t just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No nothing else matters..
