Send Your Love ~ Sting

To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour
~ William Blake
Send Your Love Into The future, Send Your Precious Love

You Alright?

You good? Hope your not letting anybody make you feel bad about anything. Hope your not being less than to make other people feel better... cause you know sometimes people mistake kindness for stupidity and mistakingly think it's OK to be ill mannered and disprespectful to those who least deserve it. It's not natural to be unkind, to trample on people like it doesn't matter. Is it really asking too much to approach every single individual we encounter with respect.

Stand tall sinners and saints your time has come to rise above the darkness, the murky waters of despair, doubt, fear, insecurity clears for you right now. We are equipped with our own intrinsic power, perfection, mighty will for goodness. We fall short perhaps, we might fail but let it be not for trying to do right and be better. It's so easy to just say; forget about it, all that happy horse sh*t... but the stuff we are made of longs to be simply happy, healthy, to have peace of mind. It's so simple yet we insist too often on complicating the journey to that place where tenderness is found, where the truth of the matter lies in one's own capacity to give love & receive it. It's accessable here and now, at this very moment. Have it, it's yours for the taking and pass it along. I pray we find our way, that we bless one another and continue to seek the essential elements of life. That everyday and night our hearts and souls find refuge in peaceful dwellings and that our thoughts and actions may be uplifting for others at every opportunity.

Here we go... another one of those interesting dates/times when the numbers look interesting by way of the sequence they are in...
What's it all about Alfie? Oh now that's a good song.

I hope your Sunday, January, year to date is going well. I hope you have hope, happiness, peace of mind & heart, someone to love, loved ones who love you and don't know what they would do without you. I hope you feel good right now.

Ronald Isley's voice is so sweet & strong. To combine the musicality of maestro Burt Bacharach with a virtuoso such as R Isley is to discover the rich, soulful, passion that can be found in brilliant spellbinding music.

Burt Bacharach and Hal David wrote several great songs people like Dione Warwick, Dusty Springfield, Ron Isley & others sang. Their music today still sounds better than ever which is testimony to the staying power and quality of Bacharach/Davids craftsmanship & artistry. Many people through the years even today sing these gems that just get better with age.

-The Look of Love- Dusty Springfield recored this one originally after Dione Warwick passed on it, then she recored it when she realized what a crown jewel it was, Chris Botti & Paula Cole (I think) also serve this one up piping hot and ready to consume.
-A House Is Not a Home- D. Warwick, Luther Vandross among others including R Isley have recorded this crown jewel
-A Message To Michael
-Make It Easy On Yourself
Youtube.com, Pandora.com, Slacker.com are great sites to go nuts w/the music you love. The songs listed above are definately worth the look-see & listen to.

Peace, love & good music to you from me

Blu ooh Moon, you caught me cryin, no laughin in the rain>>>.. ddaah, dadadee,dededeeeede.

So here we are another year lived out as a brand new year arrives just in time with brand new possibilities & stares us down demanding to know if, how & when we intend to handle it. I should like to choose the good stuff. Opt for excellence, take "it" to another level, kick it up a notch and such. Yes, that sounds, feels right. So here we go, hold on tight to the tools, mechanisms, artillary, resources, attitude and proper perspective in place... Si, dale gas.... Ahh hoo AH! Alright, alright... yeah yeah yeah... lemme @ it...
