Wonderful Life
I live a wonderful life
Because that’s what I decide it is.
My life is the perfect life for me;
That’s what I choose it to be.
Out of infinite possibility
I choose to be me.
I can choose again in each holy instant
If I don’t like what I see.
My main responsibility
Is to be true to me.

Allow Your Being
When did you last allow your being
To swim around
In the infinite sea
Of possibility?
How often are you free to play,
And allow yourself to feel the joy?
It’s very important
For you to take the time
To experience your deepest part.
So you can allow the love you feel
To flow right through your heart.
Blessing you as it blesses the world,
As it flows out from your heart.

Falling Rain
The sound of falling rain as it hits the racing water
Is music to my ears.
I feel so blest to have the time
To just be still and sit here.
Along the bank of the Licking River
After a heavy rain upstream,
The water’s the color of extra light coffee,
The kind with lots of cream.
And I am encouraged to listen to the birdies,
And create a happy dream.

So Rich
How many people are so rich
They can sit and listen to the rain.
And go where nature’s beauty abounds,
And birds are the only other sounds.
While I am here absorbing this bliss,
I feel like the universe is giving me a kiss.
How else can I express my thanks
Except by a song like this.

Receive a Blessing
I can receive a blessing
From anywhere I choose.
I decide what everything means to me
So this is what I choose to see.
And I know the universe
Rearranges itself
To accommodate
My picture of reality.
I choose to see everything as a blessing,
So that is what I see.

Riding Around
Riding around in the country
On a day like today
Is a gift I give myself
For the rest of my life.
Most of my life is spent in doing things
That certainly don’t inspire my heart to sing,
But when I am here there is nothing
That I allow to get in the way
Of enjoying the beauty of this day.

Possibility Waits
Who knows what infinite possibility waits
For me around the bend?
Knowing the potential of each Holy Instant,
I go forth to meet my good.
I’m willing to be an extension of You
Wherever I find myself.
Use me, Oh Lord, to do Your will,
As I long ago agreed.
I’m willing to do what needs to be done;
I give permission to use me.

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
Portion of…

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…

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…

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?”
If I don’t like…

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…

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…

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…

This song came to me as I was driving home last night and thinking about homeless people and animals.
May Every Being
May every being alive on this planet
Have a warm place to sleep tonight.
May they be showered with peace from above,
And experience God’s love.
May they be acknowledged for who they are,
And be supported by those who care,
And want to see them fulfill their functions,
Whatever they may be.
And do it all…

This song came to me as I was sitting by the river this gorgeous day.
The scent of flowers is in the air,
And everything smells so fresh.
How could anyone being here
Feel anything but blest?
The birds are chirping a merry tune;
The river's flowing along.
How could anyone being here
Not break out in a song?
This glorious day that we have here today
Offers its blessings constantly.
It's we who get too busy to take note,
And…

Taking a ride through the Kentucky countryside, with Spring just starting to bloom, this song came to me.
To feast my eyes on this beauty
Is the gift I give thanks for today.
I feel so blest to be a witness
To Spring springing forth each day.
Thank you, Oh Lord God of my being,
For allowing me to be
Exactly who I am--
A natural woman
Living in possibility.

What Are You Choosing
On the first day of spring, I am springing,
Allowing my heart to take wing.
On the first day of spring, my spirit is bringing
Such joy that I'm prompted to sing
About how easy it is to get here--
All you have to do
Is close your eyes, go into your space,
And notice what it's like for you.
Right here in this very moment,
What are you choosing for you?
