I think a thought,
And so it is!
I may not see it now.
But at some time
The God of Mind
Will bring it back around.
So with each thought,
Which is a prayer,
I let God reign in me:
Thought manifests
To take or bless;
Which do I choose to see?
I think a thought
And may it be
From Higher Consciousness!
And when it’s mine
To have in time,
The good will manifest!
–And so it is!
I wrote this song in early 2011, while exploring Goddess-centered spirituality. I share it here in honor of International Women’s Day – but more than this, honoring all people and our Great Creator! It’s time we see our gender as a blessing and not a difference, curse, crutch, or hindrance! This applies to our personal gender and everyone else’s. May we truly know, and thus experience, that we are indeed all One, regardless of physical form!

This song was written for a child’s welcoming ceremony. In other traditions and religions, this would be a baptism, christening, baby naming, Wiccaning, etc. It acknowledges the child’s God-purpose and the parents’ and others’ support of that purpose–whatever it may be.
We are all someone’s child, and children of God; so Miracle is for everyone!
And to Aaron, happy birthday! May God continue to bless you, and others through you!

1. You are a miracle
Of laughter and love.
You are a miracle
Of Spirit above.
You have a purpose and a path,
And we affirm our openness to that.
2. You are a miracle,
A precious gift of God.
You are a miracle
That we are blessed to love.
You are one body, mind and soul,
And we affirm together we will grow.
3. You are a miracle
Of possibility.
You are a miracle;
Be the change you want to see.
We travel beside you, but the path is yours alone.
We watch you and learn from you, the greatness of The One.
4. ‘Cause we are miracles
Of laughter and love.
We are all miracles
Of One Spirit above.
We have a purpose and a path,
And we affirm our gratitude for that
‘Cause we are miracles
Miracles
Miracles!
These are little ones before they become “adult” and prone to judgment, prejudice, hate, narrow-mindedness–need I go on? You know, all the things they learn from the rest of us…
Instead of conforming them to our molds and “raising good kids,” wouldn’t it be better for all of us, and the world, if we conformed more to their unadulterated standards?
Children have a beauty
That’s within them; it is true.
Children have a beauty
And an innocence that’s pure.
Children love all people,
And they bring great joy and peace.
Children love all people,
And they teach us many things.
Children are quite special,
And they fill our hearts with love.
Children are quite special,
And we thank the Lord above.
I love little children,
For they’re gentle, good, and kind.
I love little children;
They delight my heart and mind.
—
In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them, and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
–Matthew 18:1-4
Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.” He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
–Matthew 19:13-15

A lesson from a well-known symbol of transformation–the butterfly. Change happens in animals, seasons, and each of us; may we flow with it, embracing the natural desire to expand!
Passionate, determined
Building her cocoon
The caterpillar works.
Resting, changing
Deep within
Transformation begins.
Persistent, at work
Giving up is no option
Moving onward, ever upward…
Soft and fluttering
Fragile in the wind
The new butterfly tries.
Gently opening
Spreading to the sky
Her wings lift…
She soars
A Spirit renewed
Unfolding, evolving…
She is divine
And she knows it, lives it
With all her being.
Tiny, powerful, beautiful
Well-created, well-loved
Just like you, just like me!
Contrary to its title, this isn’t a wedding song. 😀 Or it isn’t just a wedding song. It’s for anyone in a loving, intimate, romantic relationship. And should you happen to extend that to a wedding or union ceremony, this song would fit in. But ceremony itself does not create love! It must already exist and be acknowledged within, and between people. No imitation or appearance alone will do. It is with true love in mind that I share this song.
Instrument: Luna HTC-Koa ukulele (concert, reentrant)
1. Oh as I focus on you now,
May I make no earthly vow
That keeps your spirit at bay.
And as I dwell within your life,
May I be a shining light
That stands behind
In peace of mind
To let you go your way.
And
Refrain:
2. So as I see the good in you,
May I to us both be true
And know we’re already one.
And as I live the best I can,
May God guide my heart and hands.
I lift them up
To bless this cup
And pray, “Thy will be done.”
And
Refrain: (Twice)
When I say, “I love you,”
May it warm the heart of you.
Refrain:
When I take your hand,
May it be a gentle touch.
And when I say your name,
May a little be so much.
When I kiss you or embrace you,
May I wrap you in the Truth.
And when I say, “I love you,”
May it warm the heart of you.
If Real and if True
And shining within,
Then Love for yourself
Is blessing and bliss!
If on the outside
For all that you do
And how you appear,
That love isn’t True.
If all that you see
Is what’s in your mind;
If, seeking self-love,
That’s all you can find,
Then seek in the space,
The Voice True and small,
Transcending your thoughts,
Beyond, to the All.
The Love from the One,
The Source of all Life,
This infinite flow
Is your Divine right!
This Love for yourself
And All that You are
Is safe and secure,
Eternal, by far.
It’s Real and it’s True
And shining within;
This Love for your Self
Is blessing and bliss!
Because the essence of Music, Love, and God is The One.
In any key of music
the first note of the scale
is 1.
In any key of music
the last note of the scale
is 1.
A perfect octave
is the distance
from 1 to the next 1.
Same pitch, same name
just higher or lower
and still the 1.
That’s why it’s called perfect
the 1 is the beginning
and the end.
In any key of music
the real key is
oneness.
The true key is
wholeness
completeness.
The 1 returns to itself
alpha and omega
beginning and end.
In any key of music
the 1
is first and last,
root and octave,
1 and 8,
in the image of God.
And the key
is oneness
in his Presence.
I wrote this in 2003, and it still rings true for me. In honor of
February and its vibrations of love,
this seemed like a great song to share.
On a side note, purple has gradually become one of my favorite colors. I won’t go into why and how… Suffice it to say that, thankfully, people do change, and do learn to embrace more than we used to! ❤

1. Once I searched for a Love that would never die;
True faithfulness on which I could rely.
OOO
Refrain:
2. I was lonely but had, o so much to share;
So, I hoped and I prayed for One who would care.
OOO
Refrain: (3 times)
Refrain:
Love transcends all borders and fills the empty!
I longed so for this and the joy that it brings,
And You have shown me a Love like this.
Deliverance came all wrapped up
Nice and neat
With a big red bow on top.
Love came all warm and cozy
Clear and bright
Like a blanket and a prism all at once.
Peace came like a tidal wave
Knocking over all strife and struggle
Replacing it with calm ripples.
If you believe this
You’re more delusional
Than even the clinically insane!
It doesn’t work like that
But how we wish it did!
The Knight in shining armor, the Prince, the POOF! And all is well!
No, but there is a way
A way of peace
A way of Light.
The way of Life
Is going deliberately, persistently, consciously
Through it all.
The path of Light
Is the journey through darkness
To our own center, which is Life’s core.
The Truth of Life
Is Choice
Awareness, of, and radiating from the Spirit within.
Choose from that Spirit
Not from the intellect, the fear, the reasoning
Let that Spirit guide these “children.”
And be your Self, a blessing, blessed
Be your Truth, a Light, enlightened
Be your fulfillment, a Love, beloved!
Be it right here, right now
For now is the hour of deliverance
And You are your Deliverer!
Not by your own power and might,
But by God who lives and reigns within you
Always!
