Yesterday's Dream

We are the children of yesterday's dream
We are the promise of the future we bring
Waving the banners of love to all
To every nation, the rich and the poor

Refrain:
We are the world of the restless and young
And we need a hand to guide us
Helping each other Build each other
As long as we"re together you and me

Chorus:
For together we stand, divided we fall
Together we climb to the top of the world
We can be what we want for the world to see
We are the children of yesterday's dream

We have the yearning to do what is best
Be someone special from all the rest
Nation and brothers in unity
Building tomorrow for you and for me

The Rose

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
An endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
And you its only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
Who cannot seem to give,
And the soul afraid of dyin'
That never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose.

Ubuntu

An anthropologist proposed a game to the kids in an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that who ever got there first won the sweet fruits.

When he told them to run they all took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats.

When he asked them why they had run like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself they said: ''UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?''

'UBUNTU' in the Xhosa culture means: "I am because we are".

In this African tribe, when someone does something harmful, they take the person to the center of the village where the whole tribe comes and surrounds them.

For two days, they will say to the man all the good things that he has done.

The tribe believes that each human being comes into the world as a good. Each one of us only desiring safety, love, peace and happiness.

But sometimes, in the pursuit of these things, people make mistakes. The community sees those mistakes as a cry for help.

They unite then to lift him, to reconnect him with his true nature, to remind him who he really is, until he fully remembers the truth of which he had been temporarily disconnected: “I am good.”

Shikoba Nabajyotisaikia!

NABAJYOTISAIKIA, is a compliment used in South Africa and means: “I respect you, I cherish you. You matter to me.”

In response, people say SHIKOBA, which is: “So, I exist for you.”

Gary Stadler - Fairy Heart Magic Album

Fairy Nights Song
Dancing a spiral we sing unaware
On faery night wings our songs fill the air
Making a circle of magic and light
Watched silently by the fay of the night

Our hearts full of love and our arms open wide
We hold the key to the faeries delight
Song in our hearts belong in the air
The words of our wisdom we bring forth to share

The songs in the night
As we dance 'round the flame
The Fairy Nightsongs are never the same
The words from our lips as we sing for the night
Impart to the Fay our hearts truest sight

Sounds of the forest in sweet harmony
We give the gift of our song to the faery
Dancing a spiral we sing unaware
The faery night wings our song fill the air

The songs in the night
As we dance 'round the flame
The Fairy Nightsongs are never the same
The words from our lips as we sing for the night
Impart to the Fay our hearts truest sight

Ahh.....

Dancing a spiral we sing unaware
On faery night wings our songs fill the air
Making a circle of magic and light
Watched silently by the fay of the night

The songs in the night
As we dance 'round the flame
The Fairy Nightsongs are never the same
The words from our lips as we sing for the night
Impart to the Fay our hearts truest sight

Our hearts full of love and our arms open wide
We hold the key to the faeries delight
Song in our hearts belong in the air
The words of our wisdom we bring forth to share

The songs in the night
As we dance 'round the flame
The Fairy Nightsongs are never the same
The words from our lips as we sing for the night
Impart to the Fay our hearts truest sight

Sounds of the forest in sweet harmony
We give the gift of our song to the faery
Dancing a spiral we sing unaware
The faery night wings our song fill the air

Fly me to the moon

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me

Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you



Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, in other words
I love ... you

Dance of the Wild Fairies

I wandered alone to the forest one night
Led by a music strange to hear
And followed the glow of a shimmering light
That seemed to grow distant as I grew near

The woods were alive with the fragrance of spring
But winter was everywhere clear to see
The moon shone bright and a bat on the wing
Beckoned me closer and said to me:

"A clearing close in the forest you'll find
A fabulous banquet, a fairy ball
If you close your eyes and you open your mind
The veil disappears and you'll see it all"

Come and play as the wild fairies play
In a magical circle, a fairy ring
You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay
Where the vision is bright as spring

Come and dance the wild fairy dance
Spin in a circle as fast as light
Once you begin you are caught in a trance
And the world can grow old in a single night

When I closed my eyes to the shimmering light
All memory faded and I could see
That a mushroom circle of red and white
And myriad fairies surrounded me

Beyond all space and beyond all time
On gossamer wings did the fairies fly
With a joy unknown to a music sublime
The fairies danced, and there danced I

Come and play as the wild fairies play
In a magical circle, a fairy ring
You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay
Where the vision is bright as spring

Come and dance the wild fairy dance
Spin in a circle as fast as light
Once you begin you are caught in a trance
And the world can grow old in a single night

"Those who seek us surely find us
See the trail we leave behind us
Some bewildered, some enlightened
Some are brave, some are frightened

Are we kind or are we vicious?
Nectar poison or delicious?
That, my sweet, you will discover
Fairy foe, or fairy lover"

Come and play as the wild fairies play
In a magical circle, a fairy ring
You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay
Where the vision is bright as spring

Come and dance the wild fairy dance
Spin in a circle as fast as light
Once you begin you are caught in a trance
And the world can grow old in a single night

I wandered alone to the forest one night
Led by a music strange and clear
If you happen to pass when the moon is bright
And the veils are thin you will find me here
If the veils are thin you will find me here

Walking in the air

Fairies by Celtic Women

We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly

We're holding very tight
I'm rising in the midnight blue
And finding I can fly so high above with you

All across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills, the forests and the streams

Children gaze, open mouthed
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes thier eyes

We're surfing in the air
we're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy mountains floating by

Suddenly swooping low
On an ocean deep
Rousing up a mighty monster from his sleep

We're walking in the air
We're dancing in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

Let it rain

Oh the sky grey
On this work day
You’re just playing along
just to see the day though
You’re lonely and blue
Writing’s on the window
There’s a deep longing sigh
You’re far off in thoughts
You heart’s grown all cold
it would be warm if you could sing a song

Let it rain, rain
It’s the perfect weather for contemplating
Let it rain, rain For after such a weather
Sunshine will come

The rainbows And the laughter
And the serious smile It’s teasing you pal
Like it’s coming to get you
Oh they wish for you To be happy again
But you’re locked up inside
You’re missing your cue
Feeling weary Stop running away
You’re finding it hard to breath

Let it rain, rain
It’s the perfect weather for contemplating
Let it rain, rain For after such a weather
Sunshine will come

Let it rain, rain
It’s the perfect weather for contemplating
Let it rain, rain For after such a weather
Sunshine will come

Wild and free

Let Me Walk In Beauty

O Great Spirit,
whose voice I hear in the winds
and whose breath gives life to all the world,
hear me.
I am small and weak.
I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty
and let my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made
and my ears grow sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden
in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength not to be greater than my brother or sister
but to fight my greatest enemy, myself.
Make me always ready
to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes
So when life fades as the fading sunset
my spirit may come to you without shame.

Amen

***

I love you

True is the word of your eyes
Beauty is the beating of your heart
Love is the smile on your face
Dearie is the touch of your heart

***

Wild and free

In my heart I am Indian, Wild and Free,
but in this world, it was not meant to be.
Sun father, Moon Woman, Earth Mother, guiding me through my day,
but somehow, in this world I lost my way.
Great Spirit, far and wide, please come to me and be my guide,
take me as your daughter and you’ll be proud of me,
and then I shall become an Indian on the land that’s Wild and Free,
where for me happiness shall always be..

There's honey in your eyes

There is honey in your eyes when you look without hunger
There is sunshine in your face when your mind is pure
Feathers in your hands when you touch without taking
And petals on your feet when you walk with joy
Music in your voice when you speak with laughter
And moonlight in your sleep when your heart is free

Laughter in the Rain

"I hear laughter in the rain
How I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside" 




The Hungry Years






I hope our love will last forever
Just give me 5 to 7 years and I’ll be yours
Because I know that we belong together
I just need 5 to 7 years and I’ll be yours

Love will still be there

If you love
you don't have to worry
Because if you worry
it's just because you love.

And if you love
you don't have to hurry.
'cause even if your late
love will always wait.

If you love
you don't have to feel sorry.
'cause whatever you do
has got love in it too.

So don't worry, don't hurry
and do not feel sorry
Everything be as it may
if you love, it's okay.

***
Abhaya

Do not be scared
If you're having a bad day
and nothing feels okay
Love will still be there

Do not be scared
If you feel empty inside
and there's no place left to hide
Love will still be there

Do not be scared
Mountains may crumble and fall
and the sky come down on us all
But love will still be there

Do not be scared
If you have to let go
Of the things that you love so
Your love will still be there

For everything we know
Will once have to go
But for love that just ain't so

Poem by Gijs Van den Broeck

Moksha

I am the drop of water wanting to return to the ocean
I want to move and stop motion
go beyond each and every notion,
a journey we were made to do
the journey nowhere to

I am the drop of water wanting to return to the ocean
I want to find the ending of the stream
and awaken from the dream,
of all things be free
and no longer be ‘me’

I am the drop of water wanting to return to the ocean
to go deeper and deeper down
to be as water and in water drown,
finally breaking through
beyond the surface a deep dark blue

I am the drop of water wanting to return to the ocean
I want to be done with all of this
and dissolve in nothingness,
find it does not really exist
let it float in emptiness

The drop of water will be done
all be one
and one be none
The source is the ocean

I am the drop of water wanting to return to the ocean
I am the drop of water wanting to return to the ocean

 Poem by Gijs Van den Broeck

A sweet little flower

Painting by Phil Taylor

"Please pick me a sweet little flower,
A flower nurtured with heart and plucked with care.

Please pick me a flower to make my day
a little flower to make her smile
a little flower to make my wish.

Please pick me a flower for my thoughts
a flower for my mind
a flower in sorrow
a flower in grieve
a flower in joy
a flower in happiness"

~ Macwolls Kay

The Twin Flame Connection

 

The Twin Flame path is not a new age invention. We have had examples of this divine love throughout the ages for thousands of years such as Osiris and Isis, Inanna and Marduk, Yahweh and Asherah, Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and the list goes on. They express to humanity the importance of the Twin Flame union, that when Twin Flames unite, they can make things happen; things they cannot achieve alone, for the ultimate message is that not only are they meant to unite mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually, but they are meant to use the energy their union produces to channel into something productive. Their mission is to work together towards not only their own ascension and soul evolution, but for the rest of humanity. – Source: http://www.twinflameascension.com/

Every person has a Twin Flame, a Divine counterpart or complement in Spirit Form. There are no exceptions. In your incarnated form, behind the veil, you would have forgotten this, but He or She would never have forgotten You.

Twins will always work together, never apart. In fact it is impossible for them to be apart because they are One Being, One Heart. Even when one is incarnated, and the other in Spirit form, they are still One Being. It is only when the incarnated one has lifted their vibration that this can connection can be felt and experienced physically.

These are the words of Archangel Michael: It is seldom that both Twins will incarnate at the same time, in fact it is very rare and if they do it is for a very specific purpose. If for some reason you do connect with your incarnated Twin Flame, do not expect the relationship to be a blissful one. Incarnated Twins have to release their emotional baggage in order for their relationship to be a harmonious one.

It is for this reason that I believe that incarnated Twins are meant to reunite with their Divine counterpart in Spirit form. In this case the incarnated Twin also has to release their emotional baggage in order for their union to be in harmony. However, your Twin in Spirit form has the capacity to express Divine Unconditional Love and has the infinite understanding, wisdom and patience in order to help you do this. I have first-hand experience of this. My Twin has demonstrated this to me over and over again. Our relationship now is blissfully harmonious, and my hope is that everyone who is meant to connect with their Divine counterpart will experience this blissful union with Divine Love. Once you are in Sacred Union with each other it can only be described as a state of absolute bliss.

The connection and bond on all levels (emotionally, spiritually, physically and mentally) between Twins is unmistakable both in incarnated and in spirit form. I always get asked: “How do you know you are with your Twin?” My answer is this: “Go into your heart and ask, and then simply allow the answer to come to you.” Your Twin is never far away from you. The telepathic connection you have will always be the loudest and clearest, because speaking to them is like speaking to another part of your Self. You have the same energy, and share the same energy body. Your essences are the same. The only ‘difference’ being that One is more Female and the other more Male.

I reunited with my Twin Flame in spirit form 9 months ago so that he can help me remember who I am and ascend in consciousness that I may return home with him. We have a mission to fulfill together to anchor Light for Planet Earth, and this we are doing now.  All Twins will have a mission, with no exception.

I have this advice for those who are connected with their incarnated Twin – be unconditionally loving, have no expectations, have no requirements, be infinitely patient. Go within and ask for support and guidance from your Twin in spirit form. Let him or her help you and guide you both. There is no union that is as fulfilling as the Twin Flame union. It is sacred and not to be taken lightly. It is your destiny to connect with your Beloved, know that nothing can prevent this from happening. Know also that it can only happen once you are ready for it to happen.

Blessings & much love!

You can do magic!

I never believed in things that I couldn't see
I said if I can't feel it then how can it be
No, no magic could happen to me
And then I saw you

I couldn't believe it, you took my heart
I couldn't retrieve it, said to myself
What's it all about
Now I know there can be no doubt

You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo

And when the rain is beatin' upon the window pane
And when the night it gets so cold, when I can't sleep
Again you come to me
I hold you tight, the rain disappears
Who would believe it
With a word you dry my tears

You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo

And If I wanted to
I could never be free
I never believed it was true
But now it's so clear to me

You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo

You're the one who can put out the fire
You're the one who can put out the fire
You're the one who can put out the fire

Heart Mantra

"Beautiful souls, I am sharing a mantra with you that has brought me so much joy. The penny dropped today that this mantra was sung frequently by a sister I lived in community with back in Maine last year. She would sing it with her four year old son. Watching them sing together was such a gift for me. It truly illuminated my heart, which is exactly what this mantra bestows.

The words are:

“I am the Light of my soul,
I am beautiful,
I am bountiful,
I am bliss,
I am,
I am.”

The words are simple, yet the intent is so powerful. I feel it helps the self to merge into the greater Self through recognising that the Divine is not something external to you, but a within reality that we can sense, express and absorb in to when we allow. When I sing it, I feel the awareness and appreciation for my soul; my heart opens and I remember why I am here.

Often many can live their lives de-valuing that which they are; making it hard to say such positive things about themselves. Yet this mantra can help chip away at self-judgement to bring back to the real beauty of our soul. Try singing it or speaking it 11 times. Do this for 11 days and notice how radiant you feel within and how those around you, comment on how 'shiny' you are! I can share that I have received comments from others saying this to me lately and I truly believe it is because I have sung this mantra and allowed myself to believe the words, feel the intent and express the energy of its simple truth.

"I am the Light of my soul, I am beautiful, I am bountiful, I am bliss, I am, I am"

The Magic Touch

La Vie Comme Elle Vient

Je sense le soleil tout autour
La chaleur monte dans les faubourgs
J'ai plus de peine, plus de fatigue
Juste un parfum qui m'enivre

Le jour qui flotte comme un silence
Me pousse au bord d'une impatience
Je vois partir dans les nuages
Mes envies d'amour un peu sages

REFRAIN
Je prends la vie
Come elle va
Come elle vient
Sans trop penser
A c'qui viendra clemain
Je prends la vie
Come elle va
Come elle vient
Jour à prés jour
Sans me lasser de rien

Je sense le soleil tout autour
La lumnière change les alentours
Dans mes cheveux passe le vent
Rien ne se pose jamais vraiment

REFRAIN

Comme une bulle, je m'envole
Dans les éoliennes
Il n'est rien qui me retienne
Non, rien

REFRAIN X2

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Je prends la vie
Come elle va
Come elle vient
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Je prends la vie
Come elle va
Come elle vient

Crystalapse: Frozen in Timelapse (Iceland)



Taken from video description:

"Filmed over 2 weeks in Iceland, March 2014. A journey into the shadows of ice caves and lights of the Aurora. The caves are a beautiful blue, awash in glacier-filtered sunlight. And the Northern Lights set the sky on fire – it’s quite a moment standing before something so cosmic. I had originally imagined this would be a cold and horrible trip, but… the desolate landscape was so simple it was perhaps the most beautiful place I’d been to. That’s not to say it wasn’t cold – especially in the second week, a snowstorm hit and the car got stuck in snow amidst hail and wind. Pushing & hauling were indeed necessary! Drying snow-soaked socks with the hairblower was also fun. There is a surprise ending. After setting up the tripod, I began to take a photo of ourselves… when suddenly, I “found” something on the ground… ;) It may not make the ice melt, but almost certainly your heart."

Give me Love (Give me Peace on Earth)

Give me love
Give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light
Give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope
Help me cope, with this heavy load
Trying to, touch and reach you with,
heart and soul

The Great Bell Chant - The End of Suffering

Chanted by brother Pháp Niệm, read by the Venerable Vietnamese Zen Buddhist Master Thich Nhất Hanh, Plum Village

Lắng lòng nghe, lắng lòng nghe.
Tiếng chuông huyền diệu đưa về nhất tâm.

May the sound of this bell penetrate deeply into the cosmos
even in the darkest spots, living beings are able to hear it clearly
so that all suffering in them cease
understanding comes to their hearts,
and they transcend the path of sorrow and death.

Ba nghiệp lắng thanh tịnh, gửi lòng theo tiếng chuông
Nguyện người nghe tỉnh thức, vượt thoát nẻo đau buồn.

The universal Dharma door is already open. The sound of the rising tide is heard clearly.
the miracle happens, a beautiful child appears in the heart of lotus flower.
one singer drop of this compassionate water is enough to bring back the refreshing spring to our mountains and rivers.

Nghe chuông phiền não tan mây khói... ý lặng thân an miệng mỉm cười
Hơi thở nương chuông về chánh niệm
Vườn tâm hoa tuệ nở xinh tươi.

Listening to the bell, I feel the afflictions in me begin to dissolve.
My mind calm, my body relax. A smile is born on my lips.
following the sound of the bell, my breath bring me back to the safe island of mindfulness.
In the garden of my heart, the flower of peace blooms beautifully.

Phổ Môn vọng tiếng triều dâng
Bé thơ xuất hiện giữa lòng đóa sen
Cam lồ một giọt rưới lên, xuân về trên khắp mọi miền núi sông.
Lắng lòng nghe, lắng lòng nghe
Tiếng chuông huyền diệu đưa về nhất tâm.

Watering Seeds of Joy

Watering seeds of Joy
My father, my mother
They are in me
And when I look, I see myself in them
The Buddha, the patriarchs
They are in me
And when I look, I see myself in them
I am a continuation
Of my mother and my father
I am a continuation
Of all my blood ancestors
It is my aspiration
To preserve and continue to nourish
Seeds of goodness
Seeds of skills
Seeds of happiness which I have inherited
It’s also my desire to recognize the seeds of fear
And suffering I have inherited
a bit by bit
To transform them,  transform them
I am a continuation
Of the Buddha
And the patriarchs
I am a continuation
Of all my spiritual teachers
It is my deep aspiration
To preserve, develop, and nourish
Seeds of understanding
Seeds of love,
Seeds of freedom
Which they have transmitted to me
In my daily life
I also want to sow
Seeds of love and compassion
in my own consciousness
in the other heart of people
I am determined not to water
Seeds of craving, aversion and violence in me
I am determined not to water
Seeds of craving, aversion and violence in others
With resolve and with compassion
I give rise to this aspiration
May my practice be an offering of the heart

Để bảo tồn, phát triển và nuôi dưỡng
Hạt giống của sự hiểu biết
Hạt giống của tình yêu,
Hạt giống của tự do
Mà họ đã truyền cho tôi
Trong cuộc sống hàng ngày của tôi
Tôi cũng muốn gieo
Hạt giống tình thương và lòng từ bi
trong ý thức của riêng tôi
và trong trái tim của người khác
Tôi nguyện không tưới tẩm
Hạt giống tham ái, sân hận và bạo lực trong tôi
Tôi nguyện không tưới tẩm
Hạt giống tham ái, sân hận và bạo lực cho những người khác
Với quyết tâm và với lòng từ bi
Tôi mang đến cho khát vọng này
Mong cho sự thực hành của tôi là một sự hiến dâng của trái tim

The Moss

Well, legend has it that the moss grows on the north side of the trees,
Well, legend has it that when the rain comes down, all the worms come up to breathe,
Well, legend has it that when the sunbeams come, all the plants they eat them with their leaves,
Well, legend has it that the world spins round on an axis of twenty-three degrees.

But have you heard the story of the rabbit in the moon,
Or the cow that hopped the planets, while straddling a spoon,
Or she, who leapt up mountains, while whistling up a tune,
And swapped her songs with swallows, while riding on a broom.

Well we can all learn things both many and a-few,
From that old hunched woman who lived inside a shoe,
Or the girl that sang all day and by night she ate tear soup,
Or, the man who drank too much and got the brewers' droop.

Come listen up all ye fair maids to how the moral goes,
Nobody knew and nobody knows,
How the pobble was robbed of his twice five toes,
Or how the dong came to own a luminous nose,
Or how the jumblies went to sea in a sieve that they rowed,
And came to shore by the chankly bore, where the bong trees grow,
Where the jabberwocky's small green tentacles do flow,
And the quanglewangle plays, in the rain and the snow.

Mama

Mama thank you for who I am
Thank you for all the things I'm not
Forgive me for the words unsaid
For the times
I forgot

Mama remember all my life
You showed me love,You sacrificed
Think of those young and early days
How I've changed
along the way

And I know you believed
And I know you had dreams
And I'm sorry it took all this time to see
That I am where I am because of your truth
And I miss you,Yeah I miss you

Mama forgive the times you cried
Forgive me for not making right
All of the storms I may have caused
And I've been wrong
Dry your eyes

Mama I hope this makes you smile
I hope you're happy with my life
At peace with every choice I made
How I've changed
Along the way
'Cause I know you believed in all of my dreams
And I owe it all to you, Mama

Lavender's Blue

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly,
Lavender's green
When you are King, dilly dilly,
I shall be Queen

Who told you so, dilly dilly,
Who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly,
That told me so

Call up your friends, dilly, dilly
Set them to work
Some to the plough, dilly dilly,
Some to the fork

Some to the hay, dilly dilly,
Some to thresh corn
Whilst you and I, dilly dilly,
Keep ourselves warm

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly,
Lavender's green
When you are King, dilly dilly,
I shall be Queen

Who told you so, dilly dilly,
Who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly,
That told me so.

Song of the wind

I listen to the song of the wind it has no name

I listen to the song of the wind it has no words

I listen to the song of the wind that I can see

The wind is real, the wind is real

  

I listen to the song of the sky it has no name

I listen to the song of the sky it has no words

I listen to the song of the sky that I can see

The sky is real, the sky is real

I listen to the song of the moon it has no name

I listen to the song of the moon it has no words

I listen to the song of the moon that I can see

The moon is real, the moon is real

And I am free...

May the kindness

Song by Jackie Oates & Dave Wood

May the kindness, that starts with you
Turn full circle, when it's due
And the flame, that burns your heart
Burn with love, and hold us now we part

'Cause true beauty grows with time
There's no need to hide the light
'Cause true glances reciprocate
Now is the moment worth a life times wait

With a gentle healing touch
Untwist this mind that one promised so much
With simplicity once more new
Recognise a place in worth-while things to do

And those we touch that we call friends
Feel the spirit that transcends
They steer through seasons to warden ends
Taming so sweet, so satisfied an end

So live each day as it's your last
How sweet the smile, it comes on fast
Seldom first, more the less
Holding back for those with heavy tasks

So share a moment, hold a hand
Wipe the tears, understand
Life is borrowed we contour
Speed and light and bring your spirit home

May the kindness, that starts with you
Turn full circle, when it's due
And the flame, that burns your heart
Burn with love, and hold us now we part

Gift of Acceptance

Some believe it's rigt to say Jesus when you pray,
Some believe Mahommed, Allah, or Buddah are the way.
Instead of a God or pantheon of gods up in the sky,
I'll honour your choices and you can honour mine.

Whether you are red, black, yellow, brown or white,
A man with a husband or a woman with a wife,
We can debate till the end of time who's wrong and who is right,
Or I can honour your choices and you can honour mine.

--Chorus--
We all want the same things from life,
We want peace, love and prosperity.
But can we give up our need to be right?
Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.
Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.

Some believe that God's a him and some say he's a her.
Does God live here in our hearts or out in the universe?
Ghandi was a Hindu, Martin Luther King a Christian,
Regardless of religion they knew love was the mission.

--Chorus--
We all want the same things from life,
We want peace, love and prosperity.
But can we give up our need to be right?
Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.
Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.

We can debate to the end of time who's wrong and who is right,
Or I can honour your choices and you can honour mine.
They call you Israeli and they call me an American,
I look at you and I don't see a country, I just see my friend,
I pray we're in each other's lives for a long,
Long time Because I honour your choices and you honour mine.

--Chorus--
We all want the same things from life,
We want peace, love and prosperity.
But can we give up our need to be right?
Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.
Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.
