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...

Satisfaction

Carlos Santana wrote Europa (Earth's Cry Heavens Smile) he played the timeless piece on his guitar so hard it cried, Gato Barbieri wailed the mournful, soulful, biting passion of the tune into his saxophone. Paul Carrack sings Satisfy My Soul with a sweet simple rhythm, he sings with longing... another cry from earth and all it's inhabitants...

Ramblings

Jah ever feel overcome with RAW emotion, like a pinball machine with the stainless steel ball bouncing all over the place... tears of joy flow as your heart explodes with appreciation for gifts of love, for creature comforts that only live in the imagination of countless brethren all over the world. The agonizing pain of loss shreds, yanks pulls and rips your heart strings with cruel reckless abandon. The heavy moments weigh you down, make you feel vulnerable, weak only to recognize the state of affairs is thankfully temporal. Do not stay stuck in a dark vortex of despair, doubt, disenchantment. There is too much to keep you happy, to occupy your time with, ponder the positive forces, draw from the good vibrations. Dwell in these places of quiet comfort.

The course you take includes a delicate balance as insanity looms all around us, unorthodox approach to resolution, unconventional wisdom brought to you by conventional ageless virtue, timeless qualities render you normal able to function on little to no rational. It's a jiggity-jaggity proposition but somehow your able to pull it all together and make some sort of sense out of the senseless. In silence or immersed in chaos one reflects on what really matters most, what keeps you going, who feeds your appetite for the sublime, the simple beauty, the unique?

A light emitts from your heart directly to your head like a star flashing across the sky. The trajectory aimed at keeping you a float and on top rather than down under. You wash-up after a good sweat, sleep, hearty bowl of soup and emerge stonger, fortified and ready to take on the next round of discomfort and indicision with purpose, shored-up and able to walk tall aware of the possibiltiy of being blindsided by havoc at anytime by anything or anybody for no good reason whatsoever. But you press on with confidence in the heavens, the almighty blessings of the angels and saints, the holy elements and necessary matters of life whisper to you to hold on take up your arms with the sacred tried, true and tested weapons of the ages, the most powerfull proven arsenal strong enough to navigate you toward peace and health, happiness and a head and heart full of goodness. Feel better and forge on and be grateful and peaceful ~

Radiant Beauty

That's you tonight... big blue crisp clean, round robust, bright-eyed beauty. Aren't you the magnificent one. It's always a pleasure to see you, down right privilege to behold one such as lovely as thee. Some things simply never loose their luster, time only makes you all the more glorious and grand. Yes, you, YOU so calm, cool & collect, creamy dreamy moon ... with your great presence, noble, humble, your larger than life light and quiet grace makes the darkness of the evening spill blue ink all over the sky. We connect with a glance, a gaze and look beyond the earth right into your creamy center. Stick around for a while, take off when you need to and remember you are always welcome here with me ~
