Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar

Refrain:
Pickin’, pickin’ through the pain,
And singin’ through the sunshine and the rain.
Knowin’ even when you lose there’s somethin’ you can gain
If you keep on pickin’ through the pain.
[Come on and keep on pickin’ through the pain.]

1. Like the damage after a storm,
This world seems tattered and torn.
But from the ash arises hope,
And good things are reborn
If you keep on pickin’ through the pain.
Refrain:

2. Like a bird that’s learning to fly,
You’re gonna fall and flounder at times.
But even though you hit the ground,
You still can see the sky
If you keep on pickin’ through the pain.
Refrain:

3. Like a child lost on its own,
You might feel sad and scared and alone.
But even in despair there is a voice that calls you home
If you keep on pickin’ through the pain.

Pickin’, pickin’ through the pain,
And singin’ through the sunshine and the rain.
Knowin’ even when you lose there’s somethin’ you can gain
If you keep on pickin’ through the…
Pickin’, pickin’ through the pain,
And singin’ through the sunshine and the rain.
Knowin’ even when you lose there’s somethin’ you can gain
If you keep on pickin’ through the pain.
Come on and keep on pickin’ through the pain!

Ideas of Love

Valentine’s Day is upon us. Are you tired of the marketing yet? Society loves to skew our ideas of love! It’s no wonder we can’t find it – or find what we think love is. Honestly we have no clue what we’re looking for. And by not knowing, we’re missing the purpose of life, which is to love!

Romantic relationships are part of that, or at least the positive ones are. But right now especially, we overlook the love we have by searching for something else. Someone said, “Life is what happens while we’re making other plans.” And, “Man plans; God laughs.” True statements… But there is hope, and there is love, in this very moment, whether we have romance in our lives or not.

Love is infinite, eternal, and universal. That means love is yours, mine, and everyone’s. May this song, as limited as it is, remind us to snap out of it, laugh at the marketing, and have a Happy Valentine’s Day with those forms of love we already have!

This does not mean we should ignore our desire for other forms of love. In fact, ignoring it is detrimental. However, if we focus on what we don’t have, we get more negativity. By fully embracing the love in our experience, we open the door to more! And we feel better in the meantime, because we’re not living in lack. Life already loves us! Why not love it in return?

May we learn to love from the Spirit of Love that created us! And may we improve a society that believes love can be bought and sold!

Ideas of Love – Lyrics

Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar

Refrain:
Let go of your ideas of love,
And let the Father show you his!
Let go of your ideas of love,
And see the good already in your life to give you bliss.

1. Children love a pizza just as much as they love you.
They focus on the happiness it brings.
They love their bikes and friends and toys and makin’ messy things.
Kids really pick the perfect thing to do!
Refrain:

2. Our cats and dogs, they love to run and greet us comin’ in.
They know the fullest happiness right now.
Pets eat and play and sleep and play, and people wonder how.
But we could take a tip or two from them!
Refrain:

3. Love is the greatest of connections God has made in us.
It flows through all our time and breath and space.
Let’s use it everywhere we go to look in every face.
The love we give is never given up!
Refrain:

Let go of your ideas of love!

Exercise Our Right to Try Again

If you haven’t broken your New Year’s resolutions yet, this song is not for you. But listen anyway, because you’ve probably broken one before. It’s time to put this phenomenon in its proper place, so we can move on and live well!

Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar

1. So we made our resolutions
To start a revolution,
But they must be delusions
‘Cause we feiled ’em, every one.
The time and money saving,
The work to quit the craving,
But what’s the use of raving
When a new day has begun!
Refrain

2. May we never stop resolving,
Connecting and involving,
Progressing and evolving
Til we make it, every one.
And give our hearts in caring,
Extend our hands in sharing,
And let our minds be daring
For a better way has come!
Refrain: (Twice)

Let us exercise our right to try again!

Refrain:
And we can exercise our right to try again,
start anew and simply do the best we can!
And if we fail and try and fail again,
We just engage the backup plan
And exercise our right to try again.
We exercise our right to try again!

Reaching

Posted on by

We always reach for the next big thing.
A place to belong and some meaning to bring.
A cause to campaign for, a light on the scene.
Contentment is something to get, not to be.
We reach for the brass ring, while dawn breaks–unseen!

Compassion

Instrument: Brio – Red Cedar Concert Ukulele

Refrain:
Your compassion is your humanity!
Let it warm you and set your Spirit free.
It won’t take away anything you need today.
It makes the world brighter, you agree.
Your compassion is your humanity!

1. Many folks are doin’ things
You don’t think they should do.
Well, how about considering
That they have feelings too?
You don’t live the life they’re livin’,
But there’s something you can give them.
Compassion is the key!
Refrain:

2. All the woes and worries
That you get into your head,
From sun up until sundown,
When you’re in and out of bed.
But you can’t see it all,
‘Cause you don’t have a crystal ball.
Compassion is the key!
Refrain:

3. People tell you not to
Think about yourself.
But if you don’t even care,
Then why should anybody else?
Give the gift of time
To your body and your mind.
Compassion is the key!
Refrain:

Be a human now!
Your compassion is your humanity!

(Capo 1)

1. Love’s the greatest Power we will ever know.
It made the earth and sky and sea and everything that grows.
Not from anything we think and do ourselves, alone,
‘Cause Love’s the greatest Power we will ever know.
So
Refrain:

2. Love’s the greatest gift that we will ever give.
In every thought and feeling, it says we deserve to live.
Already at our service, Love awaits our joining in,
‘Cause Love’s the greatest gift that we will ever give.
So
Refrain:

3. May you know the Love the Spirit has for you,
In heart and soul and mind, no matter what you’re going through.
Not from any work, but in the Grace that makes you new.
O may you know the Love the Spirit has for you.
And
Refrain: (Twice)

Let Love fill your soul!

Refrain:
Let Love
Be the choice in your life.
Let Love
Be your strength in hard times.
Let Love
Be the hand that you hold.
Let Love fill your soul!
Let Love fill your soul!

Choice Is Voice

Instrument: Brio – Red Cedar Concert Ukulele

Refrain:
How we spend our money,
Actions, words, and time,
There’s an awful lot of spending
That goes on in this life!
How we spend our energy,
Feelings, and thoughts,
The product ought to fit the price
Of what we spent in cost!

1. We don’t have to be broke
Or wonder which way’s up
Or try to drink from that half empty,
Cracked financial cup.
It’s gonna take some time,
But starting is a choice.
We know where our money goes,
And we still have a voice!
Refrain:

2. It becomes a habit,
What we say and do,
How we treat each other
And our fellow beings too.
It takes a conscious mind
To choose a better way.
Let’s speak for the Light in us
With every choice we make!
Refrain:

3. We criticize in judgment,
But so much is not true.
And we feel sad and tired
Like our energy is through.
But every day is new.
Remember why we’re here:
To live in Love and freedom
With the Spirit bright and clear!
Refrain:

We make the product fit the price
Of what we spent in cost!

To Be Fit

Posted on by

To center myself through the day,
I let all the world fall away…
My whole consciousness
curls into itself,
disarming the furious fray.

Amazing well-being I find,
curls out of the Infinite Mind.
With sweetest success,
abundantly blessed,
from chaos to vision so kind!

Fruit Salad

Happy New Year to each one of you, your friends, family, loved ones, and every person you encounter!

Not all people are easy to get along with, but that’s part of the fruit salad of life! If nothing else, they help us appreciate those fruits–people, events, and situations–we prefer.

I don’t know what this year holds for me, much less for you. One thing I do know, life is a fruitful experience when we give thanks for every aspect, by the Power of the Universe working through us!

Fruit Salad – Lyrics

Interestingly enough, the refrain and each verse is a
Limerick,
creating a song with a light, but important message.

Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar
(capo 3)

Refrain:
O life is a salad of fruit
With cherries and lemons to boot.
The sour is sad,
The bitter is bad,
So in every blessing, salute!

1. Mango and pineapple sing.
Oranges and strawberries ring.
The blueberries burst
With flavor at first,
The sweetness a marvelous thing!
Refrain:

2. Lemons and limes are sublime
And better off one at a time.
They burst with a bang
Of terrible tang,
The power to cleanse is divine!
Refrain:

3. Bananas and apples and grapes,
The fruits that most people will take.
But bursting and blessed
Are all of the rest.
So open on up and partake!
Refrain: (Twice)

‘Cause life is a salad of fruit!
