LOVELY DAY
I am here in the garden
With my kitty
She is rolling in the dirt
She’s so cute
It could hurt
And it’s a lovely, lovely day
I am being
As a self
Here
With my kitty
this moment is serene
in the scene… and the unseen
And it’s a lovely, lovely day
And all of you, beloveds, are here with us
When one or more are present
There it is
Here it is…

HEALING
When I can simply be the love I know myself to be
Then I am free and can explore the depth, the core of me
Breathing deep… Diving in...
Tasting fear as I fall... Head over feet...
Bitter and sweet... hesitations and all...
When I can simply be the love I know myself to be
This is healing… this is grace...
Just as I am... yielding... to the One... despite my doubts...
Knowing the tricks of the mind...
And in this breath... I’m alive...
I take my breath... and dive...

ENVY
there’s a reason why it’s called a deadly sin
cause when I feel like this, my heart withers within
and there’s not a lot of time left to revive
envy does anything to stay alive
I want what you have and I don’t feel blessed
constant grasping … there is no rest… no rest…
I can’t find an exit for this kind of thinking
obsessing on unfairness I am sinking
lower deeper spiraling out of control
completely losing sight of the whole
when I want what you have and I don’t feel blessed
constant grasping … there is no rest… no rest…
it is a sickness that is strangling our earth
trading beauty and truth for things they are not worth
and there’s not a lot of time left to decide
greed will do anything … anything to survive
when we want what you have and we don’t feel blessed
constant grasping… there is no rest… no rest…

FOR THE SAKE
for the sake of the blue sky… for the sake of the cat…
for the sake of my children, I am loving exactly where I am at…
for the sake of the longing… for the sake of the time…
for the years I spent loving, I am grateful for ALL that I find
and I will always love you…
and you will always love me…
it always has been and it always will be
for the sake of the Being… for the sake of the One…
for the sake of perfection… what is ending and just begun…
and I will always love you…
and you will always love me…
it always has been and it always will be

MY BEST FRIEND
I’m crazy for you, cause you’re my best friend
I’m gonna stick with you until the end
I’ll be here, you know it’s true… I’m gonna stay with you
it doesn’t so much matter what goes down
or what comes up along the way
after all, we’re only human…
some times we don’t do what we say
but I’m nuts about you baby, cause you’re my best friend
I’m gonna stick with you until the end
I’ll be here, you know it’s true… I’m gonna stay with you
we’ve been together for a long while now..
when I think about you, darlin’, I smile- wow
life is sublime… here in eternity, here in time
I’m ga ga for you baby, cause you’re my best friend
I’m gonna stick with you until the end
I’ll be here, you know it’s true… I’m gonna stay with you
you don’t always see me at my best… so, with your love I am blessed
and on those days when I feel alone, I remember us and I am home
I love you, my darlin’ … you’re my best friend…
I’m gonna stick with you until the end
I’ll be here, you know it’s true… I’m gonna stay with you

THANKFUL FOR YOU
I always knew what I had and I was thankful for you
I always wanted it to last But all things in this world will pass
And sometimes, that’s a comfort and sometimes that is bad news
Any times are going very fast Because all things in this world will pass
Sometimes life is a hungry lion and sometimes life is a lark
I have learned to live in the light, I must embrace the dark
And so I know I have you now. One by one, we all will leave.
One day, this balloon is gonna burst.
And we don't know which of us will go first.
So… I always know what I have and I am thankful for you.
Thankful for you.

how can I miss you?

HOW CAN I MISS YOU? (for Aftab)
And now… you are everywhere… I see
In every cloud and bird, you’re flying free
Every song I sing, I feel your heart
You are sunshine - you are the sun and the moon and the stars
And yet, I miss you
This person notices you’re missing
But whatever the story is… that I say
I say, how can I miss you…. when you don’t…. go away.
I once thought that death was the final word
But just like many of my thoughts, that one is absurd.
Beloved ones become me and I become them
And every step we take brings us closer…. to another end.
I miss you
This person notices you’re missing
But whatever the story is that I could say
I still say, how can I miss you…. when you don’t…. go away.

HEAL MY HEART
Jesus my brother, come heal my heart, there’s a piece missing, it’s falling apart
And my life’s leaking out through the hole left behind… Leaving me empty, helpless and blind
While I am empty Lord fill me, while I am blind teach me to see
And while I am helpless come take my part, Jesus my brother, heal my heart
There’s a sea of emotion, I’m caught in a storm, churning with feelings tangled and torn
My love built a ship it was swept off and lost, now it lies broken twisted and tossed
I am an ocean Lord, walk upon me, calm the waves of this pounding sea
And when the sun rises we’ll be right at the start, Jesus my brother, heal my heart
Jesus, my brother come to me now, this wound needs to close Lord and I don’t know how
My bandages fail me, they’re only pretend, illusions are torn before feelings can mend
Breathe on me Jesus, I know you can heal it, if pain is my teacher I’m ready to feel it
And make of my pieces a work of your art, Jesus my brother, heal my heart
Heal my heart, heal my heart, heal my heart…

NOT THINKING
I don’t know why it should surprise me any more
These stupid things we humans do
I’m choosing my words I’ve sifted and stirred them carefully
So they’ll apply to both you and me
We’ve created a mess
Drama and distress
And then reacted to it all
And it goes with this body… and goes with this mind of this person
And it’s is only a story… it’s only a story… it’s only a story I’ve been telling myself………
90% repetitious… Not very helpful at all…
So this is me
This is me not thinking…
Not thinking…..

TANGO
For me, there is nobody like you
It’s so right… It’s so true
For me, It’s you
Yeah yeah yeah
Ahhh, it’s delightful to adore you
Loving is it’s own reward
True… For me
It’s you
Yeah yeah
Sweet surrender to nothing and to the all
Every moment of my lifetime, I am answering the call
So… For me, there is nobody like you
It’s so right… It’s so true
For me, It’s you
Yeah yeah yeah
