These songs came to me as I sat enjoying nature in one of my favorite spots.



Melody of Life



The melody of life has its own rhythm.

Listen for it and you’ll hear.

All the myriad parts will soon fit together

And an arrangement will appear.

At first it will seem to be quite random,

With nothing to connect it all,

But suddenly it comes together

And you hear it all in harmony.

I give thanks for my awareness of this

My husband Ray was alcoholic. Most of the time during our 13 years together he was recovering, but there were a few memorable relapses. Then there were the couple of years my son John lived with us. He was not only alcoholic, but also manic/depressive, paranoid schiz, bi-polar, mentally ill. As a youngster, he was always incredibly intelligent and musically gifted. I miss that being very much. At this stage of the game he’s practically unrecognizable as the little boy I knew and loved. It seems… Continue

Day After Earth Day

The day after earth day and I can tell
That the earth indeed feels blest.
As many focused on how much she gives,
And how grateful to her we are,
And how blest we feel to have this opportunity
To live on this beautiful place.
I know that she knows there are those who care
Enough to express our thanks.
Thank you, Mother Earth, for all you do
As you play your part in this game.

God’s Miracle Workers



We're all supposed to be God's miracle workers.

That's what Jesus said that we should be.

He wasn't just talking about everyone else;

He meant you and me.

You see, we're all supposed to be God's miracle workers.

It isn't very hard to do.

Just look around and see what's there;

All you really have to do is care.

God will show you just what you should do

If you just let His love shine through.

We're all… Continue

I think I just really got what Jesus meant when he said “it’s not me that doeth the work,” because I realize that’s how I feel about letting the songs come through. I think that’s what it means to be a channel. We’re like the go-between between our Godself and this physical plane. We bring God-stuff into manifestation. We have to keep reminding ourselves by answering the questions “What am I radiating into this world? What am I contributing by whatever I am doing?”

Go With What Your Heart is Telling You

Go with what your heart is telling you;
That is always the way.
If you do, you can't go wrong,
Come what may.
Because when you go with what your heart is telling you,
You'll feel the love as it comes pouring through
Blessing everything it sees
In this reality.

Sit By the River



I love to sit by the river and watch it flowing by.

I feel so blest to be a witness to its lullaby.

If it's quiet and I pay attention,

I can hear its song,

As it blends with the chirps of the birds

As they celebrate all day long

The simple joy of being alive

And feeling like they belong.



The River is My Walking Partner



The river is my walking partner;

She flows along beside me… Continue

State of Bliss



The older I get,

The easier it is

To get into a state of bliss.

Just being alive is exhilarating;

I know I’m the cause of this.

I choose to have a happy attitude,

And believe things happen for my good.

That keeps me in a grateful mood,

And makes me wanna do the things I should

To fulfill the function I agreed to

Before I came to this world.



Planetarians



Why can’t we all just be… Continue

My Naivete



I think my naivete

Got lost somewhere along the way,

But something I recognized today

Gives me cause for dismay.

Because I feel somewhat cynical

About a lot of things.

I kinda wish that I could go back

To that innocent little girl

Who believed everything she was told

And felt like she was queen of the world.





Songs Just Pop Thru



Sometimes I feel like songs just pop thru

They just pop into my… Continue
