Random Thoughts - Music

random thoughts...

my love for music... how it opens me and makes me feel free.. sometimes I don't even listen to the words because it's the feeling that I'm enjoying. Feeling the joy of sound surround me and permeating my being joining with the sound.

I close my eyes and it's like I'm flying on the rhythm and melodies that my ears are hearing. Calling the emotions of my soul to come through and make themselves known......

New Family Member

I would like to introduce a new member to our family. Her name is Jasmine. My wife and I finally broke down and got another dog. Our girls, especially Nicole have been asking us for quite some time and we went to the shelter and picked up this beautiful dog. She's 4 months old and very nervous; We figured maybe she experienced some type of abuse because every time we go to pet her she cowers. It's sad to see that she's fearful of us but I figure that will leave in time.

This song is pretty intense. By intense I mean that for me it's a powerful song that I feel to the core of my being. Don't know why but I do. Hope you enjoy it.

NYC Trip Pictorial

My blog has become many things to me. It's more than just of meanings of sharing myself with who ever shall come across my site. But, it has also become a log or journal of my life through this past year. This month actually is one year since I started blogging. Anyway I cannot say enough about my trip with my family. So since a picture is worth a thousand words, I figured I would put a couple up of our trip, with some captions (Maybe).

Above is the girls and I on the Staten Island Ferry. We were going to Manhattan. The ferry goes right by the Statue of Liberty which Nicole loves

This is us at the entrance to central park about 3 hours after we landed. I just noticed how tired we looked

Why you are Here.

Got this little tidbit from a service I subscribe to. I thought it was worth posting



There is a marvelous story of a man who once stood before God, his heart breaking from the pain and injustice in the world. 'Dear God,' he cried out. 'Look at all the suffering, the anguish, and distress in your world. Why don't you send help?' God responded, 'I did send help. I sent YOU.

This is Funny!!!

The family and I were nostalgic looking for some old 80's tunes on you tube. Then we came across this; this is funny...

Watermark

Below is a piece of music by Enya. It's called Watermark. It has always had a profound effect on me. Even now as I'm writing and listening my eyes are tearing. It's such a beautiful piece. Blessings

That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence
Love - Devotion
Feeling - Emotion
Love - Devotion
Feeling - Emotion
Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence
If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny
Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence
That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence
Don't care what people say
Follow just your own way Follow just your own way
Don't give up, don't give up
To return, to return to innocence.
If you want then laugh
If you must then cry
Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny.

Getting out of a hole

I've been in a real hole lately!! I haven't been writing much on the blog. I haven't run any decent runs for two weeks and I've been eating like a total pig. I've gained the 10 pounds that I lost back. I don't know if it's work the heat or maybe the time of the year where getting yourself motivated won't work no matter how hard you try.

I've just been dragging ass big time. Anyway since I'm taking notice of this I have to start doing something to change it. So tomorrow it's back to step one, I'll start with a run and slowly start building myself up again. :o)

Strange Horoscope

I subscribe to two online horoscope services (they're free by the way). Every once in awhile I'll get a strange and I wonder to myself "Was the person or people writing it not with it that day or is there some real meaning behind it?" Today is one of those days. Look below


"Do you really think that the work of the future will be performed by isolated individuals connected by computers? Any person that tells you this is going to irritate you so much that you'll feel the urge to strike them down with a lightning bolt! But if you don't believe in this future, can you propose an alternate? If you are the head of a team this may be the moment to look for new solutions, Epi"

I prefer interactive conversation where I can physically be with those I can be conversing with. I do have online friends and would prefer to be with them also but the fact of the matter is we are pretty far apart and currently that is not possible.
Any thoughts?

Overcoming some fears

I recently gave my blog link to some old friends of mine. These folks have known the old me for quite some time. I've talked with them on and off over the past year and I've always told them that I have changed but never went into specifics. I value their friendship but I guess I was always fearful that they would not understand and think me a nutty new ager. Unfortunately I always felt phony not sharing what I have learned and the profound effect it has had on me. It's funny even with my new found discoveries I continue to harbor old fears and thoughts. Like anything I know in time I'll let them go and go on to new challenges. Anyway these are my loose thoughts for the day...

3 Steps

Been pretty busy lately doing things and taking life in. We're getting ready to go back to New York next week and the whole family is really excited. I'm also continuing to take in my feelings and perspective about fire the grid. Among other things the experience I think has actually taught me more about enjoying my moment now and appreciating all that is around me. If anyone hasn't seen the videos from this woman I truly recommend them. I viewed it on you tube and it was broken down to 8 sections. The section I truly enjoyed was the part on how to ,as Shelly put it, walk the path. These things were, Do no harm, including yourself, do everything with honesty and integrity, find your joy do it and be thankful for it. I think to myself what a profound impact this would have on our world if everyone followed these 3 simple steps. I have her 5th video below if you wish to view it.

Firing the Grid in Arizona

GOOD MORNING!!!

Well... This morning my family and I got up in the early morning hour to join in to "Fire The Grid". For those who might not know FTG is a world wide movement to help the Earth (and ourselves) by joining together for one hour at a specific time world wide. It is to elevate our vibrations so that we may help heal the Earth and ourselves. I thinks that's the best way I can describe it without screwing it up. If you want to know more you can go to www.firethegrid.org.


Anyway Pam and I got up about 3:40 AM to get everyone ready for the 4:11 AM kickoff. The experience was wonderful. In the beginning Pam and I meditated while the kids were asked to think of things they enjoyed and to just be grateful for the happy experiences they had. We played Sky Sent which was one of the songs recommended. It is a very nice piece of music. After about 15 minutes of meditation we sat as a family and talked, laughed and recalled fond memories and feelings. I think we enjoyed ourselves so much that we almost forgot why we were doing it. Every so often I would remind myself, and the gang, to reflect on the happy feelings and to give thanks that we are here together loving and sharing. It was a warm and joyous feeling. I want to thank my family and let them know that I love them so. I am very very fortunate person.



In thinking about the warmth and joy that we shared I wondered how many people around the world were sharing the same experience. Can you imagine millions of people sharing warmth and love at one specific moment?!?! OOOF!
