1. At a party I will sit
And listen to the din.
With small talk of the status quo,
I’m not one to jump in.
And all this talk of differences
And who did what to whom,
I get the feeling I should go
And clean my mental room.
Refrain:
2. I bless the people chatting now
Who know not what they say.
They’re spreading negativity
When there’s a brighter way.
And all this talk of differences
And who did what to whom,
If I agree in thought or word,
I build the sense of gloom.
Refrain:
3. And even during quiet time
Or going off to sleep,
The thoughts and words we dwell upon
Are what the night will keep.
And that self-talk of differences
And who did what to whom
Is moving on to paint the dawn.
So let us change our tune.
Refrain:
Karma is as karma does;
In God we are aware.
Refrain:
‘Cause every thought is precious,
And every word gives life.
And how we choose to spend them
Brings harmony or strife.
May we be mindful of our thoughts
And speak our words with care.
‘Cause karma is as karma does;
O let us be aware.
All earthly relationships end. Whether through death, divorce or breakup, a move or other situation, all relationships reach a point where they no longer exist as they did before. In effect, it’s the end of the world as we knew it. This change and letting go is often difficult. Here is a song to acknowledge that, and recognize that our only lasting relationship is with the Spirit of God within.
Time for Lettin’ Go – Lyrics
Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar
1. We ran a race as partners, you and I.
We cheered each other onward through the marathon of life.
We felt the wins and losses, and with every one we tried
To do our best, and leave the rest, and take the race in stride.
Refrain:
And it’s been fun, ya know.
A really great run, ya know.
We’ve laughed a lot and hit the spot
And learned to love and grow.
And it’s been real, ya know.
A mighty good deal, ya know.
And even though the teardrops flow,
It’s time for lettin’ go.
2. We came up short together, you and I.
We started out so strong, but hit the wall a couple times.
We bandaged up the scrapes of failed attempts and foolish pride.
We did our best, and passed the test; we’re moving with the tide.
Refrain:
3. We’re standing at the finish, you and I.
We cut the final ribbon, and the gate is open wide.
With every step we each will take, the Spirit is our guide.
We do our best, and ever blessed, we find the strength inside.
Refrain:
Even though I love you so,
It’s time for lettin’ go.
All because I love you so,
It’s time for lettin’ go.

Duality Hymn – Lyrics
Instrument: Eventide – Mahogany Concert Ukulele
1. We feel alone in the darkness,
Trapped in a mind bleak and still.
We cannot see through the forest;
We cannot feel through the chill.
Yet there is Light here inside us;
There is calm in the storm.
A gentle hand cools a fever;
The very same keeps us warm.
2. There is a Power in the darkness,
Creator, God, Life of All.
And there is no separation;
No lifting up, and no fall.
For in the midst of the torment,
God is infinite Sight.
And there is Oneness in knowing;
Outside of feeling and time.
3. We feel alone in the darkness,
But when we know and be still,
We feel the warmth of the Spirit;
The Law of Love is fulfilled.
For the Eternal is Wholeness
Within all of Its parts,
And keeping infinite Order
In every life that It sparks.
Amen!
A Sunday bonus, written in collaboration with Morgan of Book N Volume.
Morgan is a prolific author and poet of The Fey, nature, magic, fantasy, beauty, the human spirit, and more. She graciously extended an open invitation to write with her, and I was drawn to the opportunity. I’d been working on this song; I had the melody and first verse lyrics at that point.
This could very well be, as first glance seems, a lullaby for babies. But it is also more. My original intention was to write a cradling song for those who experience insomnia. When I shared this with her, Morgan shone her lyrical brilliance in what became our middle verses here.
Those mystically oriented will notice something – it’s not just about going to sleep and sleeping well. It’s a lullaby, a reminder of Promise from the Divine Parent of the Universe. It is the shifting tide of consciousness from “monkey mind” to awakening, expanding awareness. With that I will say no more; may you enjoy the gentle embrace we intended!
Thank you, Morgan, for your thought, time, and above all your Spirit, kindness, and sensitivity!
Dreamkeeper – Lyrics
Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar
Go to sleep, Beloved
One in the Spirit of moon and stars.
Slumber full of blessings
Dreams wake in your heart
Dreams wake in your heart.
Precious Child, My Own
Radiant Light O’er Thy Head is Shone.
Blessings Pour from Heav’n Above
Dreams of Peace and Love
Dreams of Peace and Love.
Rest your thoughts in Moonlit Waves
Fret not, nor question why.
Drift upon the Peaceful Night
Nod your head and Sigh
Nod your head and Sigh.
You are my Beloved
How could you ever be less than safe?
Nestled in my keeping
Dream your Self awake
Dream your Self awake.
We can’t really give anything to God. After all, God is infinite, so to say we can give Him/It anything, limits our perception of God.
However, what we can give up, mystically, is the idea of the personal ego, human mind, and the so-called free will we think it has. Free will is an illusion. Only Cosmic, Universal Consciousness (or God) is real. All other things, including the personal ego and our false ideas, pass away.
This song is about expanding our own consciousness, awareness, and focus by giving up the personal ego. In order to truly know God-reality and be aware of it, we must do this daily, and sometimes moment by moment, many times a day! By surrendering our soul, heart, and mind to God Consciousness, we experience oneness – not intellectually, mentally, emotionally, or physically – but throughout our entire being.
Oneness is our true, spiritual nature. And giving up that which is “less than,” is accomplished primarily through meditation. This song is another reminder and a tool for that purpose.
I give my soul to Peace
I give my soul to Love
I give my soul to bless
God’s Work below and above!
I give my soul to Good
I give my soul to Bliss
I give my soul to God
The All there Is!
‘Cause everything will pass away,
And only God will never change!
I give my heart to Peace
I give my heart to Love
I give my heart to bless
God’s Work below and above!
I give my heart to Good
I give my heart to Bliss
I give my heart to God
The All there Is!
‘Cause love and hurt and stress and pain
Are calling us to look within!
I give my mind to Peace
I give my mind to Love
I give my mind to bless
God’s Work below and above!
I give my mind to Good
I give my mind to Bliss
I give my mind to God
The All there Is!
‘Cause thinking does not make it so;
The Truth we seek is God to know!
I give my soul to Peace
I give my heart to Love
I give my mind to bless
God’s Work below and above!
I give my soul to Good
I give my heart to Bliss
I give my mind to God
The All there Is!

Aquarian Gospel Reading
And now I go my way, but I will pray my Father-God and he will send another Comforter to you, who will abide with you. Behold, this Comforter of God, the Holy Breath, is one with God, but she is one the world cannot receive because it sees her not; it knows her not. But you know her, and will know her, because she will abide within your soul.
These things I speak while with you in the flesh, but when the Holy Breath shall come in power, lo, she will teach you more and more, and bring to your remembrance all the words that I have said to you. There are a multitude of things yet to be said; things that this age cannot receive, because it cannot comprehend. But, lo, I say, Before the great day of the Lord shall come, the Holy Breath will make all mysteries known– The mysteries of the soul, of life, of death, of immortality; the oneness of a man with every other man and with his God. Then will the world be led to truth, and man will be the truth. When she has come, the Comforter, she will convince the world of sin, and of the truth of what I speak, and of the judgement of the just; and then the prince of carnal life will be cast out. And when the Comforter shall come I need not intercede for you; for you will stand approved, and God will know you then as he knows me.
–The Aquarian Gospel 161:35-37, 162:5-11

Holding me within your care.
Holy Breath, ever blessed,
Shelter in the storms that tear.

Teaching me to live and love.

Often times unseen, unheard.
Yet in the heart, you work your art,
Bringer of eternal Word.

Your Spirit sparks and leaves its mark
On the souls with whom you trod.

A little bluegrass to celebrate the coming of Spring to our northern hemisphere, and remind us of the Infinite, ever present Spirit of the Universe.
And bluegrass on a uke? Some would say no, but clearly it has its place.
Instrument: Eventide – Mahogany Concert Ukulele
1. No matter where I am;
No matter what I do,
I feel something in nature
And touch a part of You.
2. No matter what I think;
No matter what I see,
I know You are the rhythm
Of life inside of me.
Refrain:
You are the Springtime blossoms
And the Summer heat.
You are the Autumn harvest
And the Winter freeze.
You are the ebb and flow
Of sun and sea and moon.
You are the All in All,
And we are one in You.
3. No matter what I planted;
No matter what I reap,
I know You are the Presence
Of all Eternity.
4. No matter where I’ve been;
No matter where I go,
I know You shine within me –
I take the path You show.
Refrain: (Twice)
SPOKEN:
Hear the voice of the One Divine Spirit,
the I Am,
the Creator,
the Lifeforce of All.
Know the Truth of the Word;
Feel it;
Speak it;
With all your being
Be it.
For it is who and what
You really are.
SUNG:
1. I Am one
I Am whole
I Am strong
I Am blessed
By the Word
And the Song
Into Love, Light and Peace
Flow perceptions of wrong
I Am one
I Am whole
I Am strong!
2. I am known
I am loved
I am free
I am blessed
By the Christ
Within me
For I carry the Light
With compassion and see
I am known
I am loved
I am free!
Repeat 1-2.
Spoken:
As you Know,
Let it be so.
And so it is!
Amen.
1. Always lookin’ for some more
Or settling a score,
We dance around the issues of the past.
We don’t really let them go,
And for all we choose to know,
We cling to things that really couldn’t last.
2. All the people and the things
That bring us security
Only keep the peace of falsehood in our minds.
If we really had the best,
We would choose the Peace and Rest
When we seek in God, we never fail to find.
3. The foundation of a heart
Is the Spirit that is part
Of each thing we ever loved or thought we could.
And It never goes away,
Even when surroundings change.
So a life that’s settled here is truly good.
God never goes away,
Even when surroundings change.
So a life settled in Him is truly good.
1. God sees all of You,
But you only see a part.
So to do your best,
You gotta open up your heart!
Refrain:
2. God sees where you’ve been
And where you’re gonna be.
He’s the Truth of who You are,
So stand up and be free!
Refrain:
3. God is the beginning,
All lifetimes, and the end.
So on His Love and Knowing
We can all depend!
Refrain: (Twice)
Refrain:
[And/so] let the Mind be within you
As It was in Christ!
Let the Breath of the Spirit
Be your abundant Life!
And let the peace that passes understanding
Come down like a dove,
And let the heart of God
Fill your heart with Love!
