From the Being Human journal
Lovely Now was inspired by the combination of two poems: Camas Lilies by Lynn Ungar, and Tuft of Flowers by Robert Frost. Both are worth your further reading. Lovely Now, though, is mostly about a question: Have I done enough… enough to earn your appreciation? I usually feel that way when I’ve lost my internal sense of who I am… where my true value lies.

Reflection & journaling
Theme: Self Value
Choose a question or word or line(s) from the lyrics to guide your meditation or journaling as you listen.
- Where do my deepest insecurities come from?
- Are they from experience?
- Failure?
- Worry?
- Who are the people who remind me of my value?
- How can I be reminded without developing a craving TO BE reminded of my loveliness?
- How do I strike a balance between the warmth of the “applause” and simply knowing I’m good?
