" I Believe "

 

I BELIEVE

·        I believe that all life is connected.

·        I believe that human consciousness is not confined to the physical being.

·        I believe that beauty is life displaying the essence of it's true being.

·        I believe love is the act that tries to bring beauty into being.

·        I believe that love is the glue and the bridge.

·        I believe that the real heroes in life are the battlers and the givers, and those that are both are extra special.

·        I believe in the worth of little things - in smiles, in hugs, in laughs, in well done, you're good, thanks.

·        I believe that when I have enjoyed myself, I should tell those who have made it so.

·        I believe in the joy in a sparkling eye.

·        I believe that the whole is much bigger than the sum of the parts.

·        I believe in being one's our own best friend.

·        I believe in facing each day anew and leaving behind the troubles and mistakes of yesterday.

·        I believe that one of the best things I can do for others is to show them I believe in them.

·        I believe all women are treasures.

·        I believe in helping people up.

·        I believe that the worth of my life will depend on how I have loved and laughed, cared and shared - and not on the length of my years or the balance in my account.

·        I believe that no matter what my circumstances, I can succeed; for success is how I face life.

·        I believe that if I do not give my best, I cheat only myself.

·        I believe that fortune favors me much more when I have a goal.

·        I believe in balance and harmony - that at some time during the day it is important to rest and be still and enjoy the moment.

·        I believe everyone is somebody and somebody is everyone.

·       I believe that the whole is much greater than the sum of the parts.

Christy Moore "Clock winds Down"

 

Clock Winds Down

Christy Moore

It's hard to know what to say
As the world around us fades away
Reason falls on deaf ears
And the Truth dissolves and disappears
As the Clock Winds Down

Warning signs years ago
We did not want to know
All-consuming selfish ways
Now there's a price to pay
As the Clock Winds Down

The ice caps melt The Amazon burns
To the point of no return
The grid goes down Screens go blank
We'll be walking down the plank
As the Clock Winds Down

See the children take to the streets
When they hear Greta Thunberg speak
Watch the young warriors climb down from the trees
Chain themselves to machinery
As the Clock Winds Down

Lalalalalalalalala lala
Lalalalalalalalala lala
Lalalalalalalalala lala

It's hard to know what to say
When a child looks up and says
Hey old man, what did you do
We were depending on you
Now the Clock Winds Down
Now the Clock Winds Down
Now the Clock Winds Down
To Zero

"Come Healing" - Leonard Cohen

 

Come Healing

Leonard Cohen

O, gather up the brokenness
Bring it to me now
The fragrance of those promises
You never dared to vow

The splinters that you carried
The cross you left behind
Come healing of the body
Come healing of the mind

And let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb

Behold the gates of mercy
In arbitrary space
And none of us deserving
Of cruelty or the grace

O, solitude of longing
Where love has been confined
Come healing of the body
Come healing of the mind

O, see the darkness yielding

That tore the light apart
Come healing of the reason
Come healing of the heart

O, troubledness concealing
An undivided love
The heart beneath is teaching
To the broken heart above

And let the heavens falter
Let the earth proclaim
Come healing of the altar
Come healing of the name

O, longing of the branches
To lift the little bud
O, longing of the arteries
To purify the blood

And let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb

O let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb

" Visiting Hours " - Ed Sheeran

 

Visiting Hours

Ed Sheeran

I wish that Heaven had visiting hours
So I could just show up and bring the news
That she's gettin' older and I wish that you'd met her
The things that she'll learn from me
I got them all from you

Can I just stay a while and we'll put all the world to rights?
The little ones will grow, and I'll still drink your favourite wine
And soon they're goin' to close, but I'll see you another day
So much has changed since you've been away

I wish that Heaven had visiting hours
So I could just swing by and ask your advice
What would you do in my situation?
I haven't a clue how I'd even raise them
What would you do?
'Cause you always do what's right

Can we just talk a while until my worries disappear?
I'd tell you that I'm scared of turning out a failure
You'd say, "Remember that the answer's in the love that we create"
So much has changed since you've been away

I wish that Heaven had visiting hours
And I would ask them if I could take you home
But I know what they'd say, that it's for the best
So I will live life the way you taught me
And make it on my own

I will close the door, but I will open up my heart
And everyone I love will know exactly who you are
'Cause this is not goodbye, it is just 'til we meet again
So much has changed since you've been away

Climate Change - COP26

 

Windsong   John Denver

The wind is the whisper of our mother the earth
The wind is the hand of our father the sky
The wind watches over our struggles and pleasures
The wind is the goddess who first learned to fly

The wind is the bearer of bad and good tidings
The weaver of darkness, the bringer of dawn
The wind gives the rain, then builds us a rainbow
The wind is the singer who sang the first song

The wind is a twister of anger and warning
The wind brings the fragrance of freshly mown hay
The wind is a racer, a wild stallion running
The sweet taste of love on a slow summer's day

The wind knows the songs of the cities and canyons
The thunder of mountains, the roar of the sea
The wind is the taker and giver of mornings
The wind is the symbol of all that is free

So welcome the wind and the wisdom she offers
Follow her summons when she calls again
In your heart and your spirit let the breezes
Surround you
Lift up your voice then and sing with the wind
