OUR SADNESS

The Sadness

it comes in waves

the sadness does

we think there is no end to this

and there isn’t

as long as your heart is opened to the world

you will feel all this sadness

we are disconnected from our true selves

you’ve heard this already

a million times

when you hide your sadness

you hide your heart

when you hide your heart

you imprison your joy

Grieve for your losses,

Grieve for all our losses

We are in this thing together

We are connected to one another

Whether we feel it or not. 

I'M MY OWN GRANDPA

As I was writing my memoirs this morning (yes, I'm still a legend in my own mind), I revisited my childhood basement which housed among other things..a poker table, pool table and a jukebox. The juke box was the coolest and we didn't even have to put money in it to hear it play. Early Elvis' Heartbreak Hotel is one of the two songs I do recall and that would place the year around 1955(?) or so. But the most fun song and a brain breaker was "I'm My Own Grandpa". I guess these lyrics describe an actual relative (pun intended) possibility but see for yourself:

WILLIE NELSON LYRICS

"I'm My Own Grandpa"

Now, many many years ago
When I was twenty three
I was married to a widow
Who was pretty as could be

This widow had a grown-up daughter
Had hair of red
My father fell in love with her
And soon the two were wed

This made my dad my son-in-law
And changed my very life
My daughter was my mother
'Cause she was my father's wife

To complicate the matters
Even though it brought me joy
I soon became the father
Of a bouncing baby boy

My little baby then became
A brother-in-law to dad
And so became my uncle
Though it made me very sad

For if he was my uncle
That also made him the brother
Of the widow's grown-up daughter
Who, of course, was my step-mother

I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny I know
But it really is so
I'm my own grandpa

My father's wife then had a son
That kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild
For he was my daughter's son

My wife is now my mother's mother
And it makes me blue
Because, she is my wife
She's my grandmother too

I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny I know
But it really is so
I'm my own grandpa

Now, if my wife is my grandmother
Then, I am her grandchild
And every time I think of it
It nearly drives me wild

For now I have become
The strangest case you ever saw
As the husband of my grandmother
I am my own grandpa

I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny I know
But it really is so
I'm my own grandpa

I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny I know
But it really is so
I'm my own grandpa

Catch & Release

Whatever package your God comes in

Doesn't matter at all,

If it gifts you with faith

Grab on and hold it close

As if your joy depends on it

Because it does

Once you are overflowing with joy

let go.

Just think of all the light you will shine upon

This frightened, weary world

Just by grasping God

and then 

letting him go-

HONESTY

120114

HONESTY 

connect with anyone

with every one,

this is what a fearless life looks like.

what is there to be afraid of 

but the opinions of others….their judgments  

judgements are attacks,

and they are projections,

they are the responses that fear makes

attempting to make us feel secure.

feel secure

secure yourself!

breath slowly

breath deeply...

love self

love others

love all of life

you are whole

vibrant and powerful,

you can speak nothing

but your truth

teach the congress of the world

what transparency really looks like

and what it can accomplish,

watch 

as fear disappears.

LAST SUNSET

    . IF YOU CAN'TBE WITH THE ONE YOU LOVE-LOVE THE ONE UR WITH.
