Still Tonight

Nicholas Urbaniak • January 28, 2025

I’m sittin’ on this front porch, watchin’ clouds roll by,
A gentle breeze is whisperin’, but I’m not in a rush to try
To chase down every dream that I once thought I had to hold—
I’ll wait until the wind calls me, let my spirit unfold.

I’m hangin’ like a wind chime, quiet till the breeze blows through,
And if the air stays still tonight, that’s just fine too.
No need to force the music; I’ll sing when I feel that spark.
I’m at peace in the quiet, even in the dark.

Folks say we gotta keep on runnin’, gotta fight, gotta climb,
But there’s a tune in the silence that rings clearer with time.
When that gentle wind comes knockin’, I’ll be ready to sway,
But if it never stirs tonight, I’m fine just as I stay.

I’m hangin’ like a wind chime, quiet till the breeze blows through,
And if the air stays still tonight, that’s just fine too.
No need to force the music; I’ll sing when I feel that spark.
I’m at peace in the quiet, even in the dark.

Sometimes I feel the stillness, think the wind might never come,
But life has its own timing, like the rhythm of a drum.
And if the breeze can’t carry me, I’ll stand without a care—
A melody of peace within the hush that fills the air.

I’m hangin’ like a wind chime, quiet till the breeze blows through,
And if the air stays still tonight, that’s just fine too.
No need to force the music; I’ll sing when I feel that spark.
I’m at peace in the quiet, even in the dark.

I’m at peace in the quiet, watchin’ the daylight fade.
No hurry, no worry—this is how I’m meant to stay.

Embracing Relief One Step at a Time
By Nicholas Urbaniak March 17, 2025
Sometimes shitty things happen. You find out you have a chronic illness, you lose a job, or someone you love passes away. These circumstances come for us all in some way or another throughout our lives. No one is immune to human suffering and disappointment, and everyone has, or will go through a traumatic experience which takes their breath away in the worst of ways. I personally do not have a recipe for success to get through these times or have some magic words I can say to others when they are going through it. There really isn’t anything you can do to help someone who is struggling after receiving terrible news. Maybe you can offer condolences, help with any errands they had on their list, or just sit with them, but in the end, the grief and intense emotion is sometimes so unbearable that nothing except their own processing will allow them to feel any sort of relief. So, for anyone out there who is having a hard time, I’d like to say that I’m sorry. I wish it were different for you, and I hope that you can find peace in whatever is going on and know that hopefully there is a meaning behind it all. You are strong, but it’s still ok to cry. You do what you need to do to get through this. Remember tomorrow isn’t promised so try to enjoy today. Laugh with your spouse, call your mom, and don’t be afraid to tell someone you love them. Bask in the joys of life when they happen and embrace each other when something goes wrong. Step into life with all it has to offer, from the exhilaration of falling in love to the grief of loss, it is why we are here. “9 months was too long to wait, but now we must wait a lifetime”
