what did I do?

did I listen to the beating of my own heart?
did I follow the path of my own footsteps?
did I listen to the sparrows speak their song to me?
did I appreciate the wonder and abundance of nature?
did I befriend the earth which was given to me?
did I still my mind to hear its voice?
did I let love rule my heart?
did I teach my children that life is a gift?
did I strive to not waste one precious day?
did I learn to be thankful and pray?

hold me dear

hold my hand
hold me in your arms
hold me close
hold me tight
hold me in your thoughts
hold me in your heart
hold me in esteem
hold me in your dreams
hold me dear.

Love is all.

Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love. ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky

footprints


what footprints shall I leave behind?
compare me not to
Buddha’s knowledge
Confucius’ patience
Da Vinci’s prodigiousness
Gandhi’s simplicity
Jesus’ purity
Longfellow’s prose
Michelangelo’s artistry
Mother Teresa’s love
Shakespeare’s drama
Thoreau’s enlightenment
yet, I drink the water that quenched their thirst
and, breathe the air that gave them life
and, laid footfall on the dust of this earth
yet, on a path uniquely my own.

be forever humble


be forever humble
for you are but a part of 
the face of the city
which is but a part of
the face of the country
which is but a part of
the face of the earth
which is but a part of
the face of the universe
which is but a part of
the face of creation.

the river

the river is life

the river runs low
the river runs high

winding is the river
as no journey runs straight

the river runs slow
the river swiftly passes by

and on occasion
an eagle will fly high.

peace, love and understanding

I'm not claiming divinity. I've never claimed purity of soul. I've never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can ... But I still believe in peace, love and understanding. ~ John Lennon

Random Acts of Kindness, they really do help!


Did you give a smile to someone today? Give a hug, tell someone you loved them, give blood, recycle your household waste, conserve resources, donate your bottles to charity, love and shelter an animal, help a friend or a stranger in any way, or help a little old lady across the street?

Every act of kindness—no matter how small—makes our world a better place for us all—and that’s what it’s all about.

We’ve got to get together.

We’ve got to get together sooner or later, we have got to get it together, we have got to get it together—now! ~ Something in the Air, a 60s song, by Thunderclap Newman

May peace and love be with you.


We all seek peace, love, purpose and fulfillment in our lives. All the other "stuff" we fill our lives with only satisfies the ego for a short time. But continually living with love for yourself and all life around you — and giving back to life something good from within yourself — will bring the mind and heart long-lasting peace. May peace and love be with you friends.
