10,000 Children

Words so true

Lyrics:

"10,000 children and all I can do is just talk.
While my house is full of possessions that negligence bought.
Everyone tells me that I'm not to blame,
Why do I still feel the same?

Only love can save us all.
Only love can save us all, save us all.

10,000 children are my invitation to change.
To continue in excess now suddenly feels oh so strange.
Prayers and money should not be confused,
But I pray that both still are used.

Only love can save us all.
Only love can save us all

What will become of me?
Inside of history

10,000 children and all I can do is just talk."

The Law of Attraction

Here, Mike Dooley explains "The Law of Attraction": "Thoughts Become Things". It's so true!

The World

We are all connected,

though our systems

are not yet perfected,

there is a harmony

and a rhythm to life

in which each person

plays their own part

resonating from their individual heart;

it's sometimes hard to hear

when drowned out by fear,

so love yourself,

for who you are,

love is the key

to unbind us

and remind us

that WE can

save us all.

Gaia beseeches Anthropos

This is one of the songs from the soundtrack to the movie “ONCE”. The soundtrack is really awesome.

As a writer of lyrics myself, it never ceases to amaze me how so many people can listen to the same song and get so many different interpretations of what the song is “really about”.


I was just listening to this song, and then I had an interesting interpretation of the song that I would like to share with you. Think of this song, not as a love song between a woman and a man, but between Gaia (the earth/our Home) and Anthropos (Society/Humankind).

Gaia sings her song to Anthropos:

“I think it's time, we give it up
And figure out what's stopping us
From breathing easy, and talking straight
The way is clear if you're ready now
The volunteer is slowing down
And taking time to save himself

The little cracks they escalated
And before you know it is too late
For making circles and telling lies

You're moving too fast for me
And I can't keep up with you
Maybe if you slowed down for me
I could see you're only telling
Lies, lies, lies
Breaking us down with your
Lies, lies, lies
When will you learn

The little cracks they escalated
And before you know it is too late
For making circles and telling lies

You're moving too fast for me
And I can't keep up with you
Maybe if you'd slowed down for me
I could see you're only telling
Lies, lies, lies
Breaking us down with your
Lies, lies, lies
When will you learn?

So plant the thought and watch it grow
Wind it up and let it go”


"The volunteer is slowing down
And taking time to save himself"

Is the Earth slowing down its abundance to help itself because we won't? Are we in a Parasitic or Symbiotic relationship with the Earth?

Scars

The scars show you where you are:
where they came from is
where you’ve overcome.
You’re so far
Look at who you are:
You’re a survivor
So you can be someone else’s
Reviver.

Revolver
Turning up and down
Smiles and Frowns.
Sometimes over-painted clowns
Say “you’ve gotta be happy now”
But you don’t know how.

Let your bliss be real
Let the Universe reveal
After the fall of the hail-
After your skin’s turned pale-
Be thankful
That you’re still alive

You’ve almost arrived
No matter where you are
You’ve got the power of the Stars
No matter who you are
You drive your own car
To your Destiny:

Let yourself be free
Believe in the eternity
Whatever it will be
Be happy
Be happy.

Smile,
For a little while
Smile, Smile, Smile.

Only you know what’s
Written on the files
For the reasons your seasons changed
And why you’re smiling now:
Only you know why,
But you can share this secret
If you care
To tell me where
What went wrong
Is how you became strong
And what you left behind
Became your strength of mind

You’re so brilliant,
It’s making me blind,
Now that you’ve stopped
Hiding behind the petty excuses
And even the deepest of bruises.

You’re beautiful to me
Because you are perfect
In your imperfection:
And although our
Reflections fade
I’ll wade with you
In the pools of light
‘til the heaven’s take you back
As the star
I’ve always known
You are.

Journeys

I'm following the sound
that echoed
long before
I was born...

It's a shimmering wave,
Born of the 11th dimension:
Filtered down
through the cracks and crevices
of

infinite
invisible
strings

finding neural pathways
and the equations for

beliefs
and hearts
and supposed "Souls".


Pulsing rhythms and
dreamlike stages
make way for
waves and ripples
reflecting a life
I couldn't lead before.

I am just now
tip-toeing into
the tide pools
whatever will happen,
The Universe knew long ago
and so I go

"Once upon a time"
begins now
and I'm turning the page...
