to Sing

to Sing perchance to Fly;
i Soar on the wings of sound
to Reach both the height and depth
of Being human - of human Being.

oh music!
at once the cause and effect,
the why and the answer.

the reason for Singing:
to Sing perchance to Fly.

Wild Thing

She let the thunder roar and the lightning flash like sparks of white flame around her.  "I will not yield!" she cried to the wind, which howled its response, whipping debris across her face, her arms, her legs.

--

Though I am tested, I shall not be won.  My heart is solid and strengthens my stance.  Earth shall not move me, nor Fire, Air, or Water.  For I am of them all.

---

They all watched as she limped back into the village the next morning.  Her limbs were bruised and bloody, her hair full of sticks, her jeans ripped and stained with mud and her eyes were hard, reddened with the Nightstorm she had weathered.

--

The sky was clear and blue.

"Everyone has questions,
But no one wants to know
How far the anger in someone
Can really make them go."

- "Wild Thing" by Noah and the Whale

This song has always intrigued me with its imagery of a girl emerging after spending 9 days alone in the woods and the public wonder at what turmoil would make her do such a thing (above lyrics).  Just a little something.

Dancing Heart to Heart

I think back
To when this all began
When we were simply
Woman and man
Not more than partners
Aloof and apart
Who could have forseen
This remarkable affair
of the heart?

If I could tell you one thing
To keep for all of time
So you could know how much I love
That I can call you mine,
I would just want to say:

Darling I am with you always
Neither time nor space nor distance
Can keep us apart
Darling I am with you always
And forever we'll be dancing
Heart to heart.

It's a funny thing
And wonderful to know
Just how with room and patience
Our love began to grow
And you have given me so much now
More than I ever dreamed
More than I knew was possible:
You complete me.

If I could tell you one thing
To keep for all of time
So you could know how much I love
That I can call you mine,
I would just want to say:

Darling I am with you always
Neither time nor space nor distance
Can keep us apart
Darling I am with you always
And forever we'll be dancing
Heart to heart.

When I try to fathom
The depth of joy I find
In knowing how your spirit
Feels intertwined with mine
Just like how my fingers
Fit perfectly with yours
As we keep each other
Steady on life's course.

If I could tell you one thing
To keep for all of time
So you could know how much I love
That I can call you mine,
I would just want to say:

Oh my darling, I am with you always.
Neither time nor space nor distance
Can keep us apart
Darling I am with you always
And forever we'll be dancing
Heart to heart.

I am With You - 6/27/15

I am with you.
Defy the laws that govern Reality.
Time and space mean little
As I can now Exist beyond them.
I am with you Always.

True reality

Question true experience

You nor I can know.

Soul Songs - 6/25/15

The song of our souls must continue; the melody cannot stall.  Though we can savor the echoes of the passages which touch our hearts, the notes vanish as each passing moment does into the infinite vastness of the past.  And so we must go on singing our songs, constantly creating themes and variations to form the parts of our lives around.  But it is hard to keep singing alone.

As we grow, however, our voices intertwine with those of the people around us into duets, trios, and even whole choruses; all are composed of melodies that are separate and unique, not always harmonizing, but always worth being expressed and heard.  The most precious people in our lives are the ones whom we can harmonize with, whether consonant or dissonant, who are unafraid to share their melody with us, and who refuse to cast judgement upon our own compositions, whether we are in periods of creative struggle or freedom.  And, especially in those times of struggle, our closest friends, loves, and collaborators are the ones who lift us up, who work to match our tones and strengthen them, helping return them to the vibrant brilliance we are all capable of expressing.

So goes the journey of the songs of our souls.

Je t'aime - 6/24/15

Je t'aime.

Je ne sais pas les mots pour dire à quel point ma vie a changé parce que vous êtes dedans.

Ogni giorno.
Ogni ora.
Ogni momento.
Ogni respiro è alterata a causa del tuo amore.

Du hast meine Seele und Hertz.  Du hast alles von mir.

Your love is my rock, my strength, my hope.

Je t'aime pour toujours.

Je t'aime.
