In the stone. . .

I found that love provides the key
Unlocks hearts and souls of you and me
Love will learn to sing your song, yeah
Love is written in the stone

If love provides the key, where does love come from?  How do we go about learning to unlock our hearts and souls when we don't trust ourselves to know how to do that?  Being able to love yourself is the ultimate key, because only then will you be able to love others.  Those who crave your love, those who expect to reciprocate your love.  How will it learn your song?  We can never really know what is written in the stone unless we learn to understand that what is written and set in stone is something that we have come to know will form the basis for a blueprint for how we love ourselves and the world.

Every man I meet is walking time
Free to wander past his conscious mind
Love will come and take you home, yeah
Love is written in the stone

I guess this is why I've been trying to connect with as many people as possible.  Trying to learn and hone the craft of connection is something that takes some time and effort to really pull together.  Are people around you walking time?  They might be so fixated on what they're doing that they don't take the time to sit up and smell the roses.  What is going on in your conscious mind?  We never really know if we are alert when we don't engage our minds in creating pathways that will help as many people as possible.  What are you hoping that your conscious mind is able to do for you?

Do you believe my friend in what you claim 
People of the world all doubt the same
Bringing questions of their own 
Truth is, truth is written in the stone

Do you know what you are claiming these days?  You might not be able to defend yourself against claims that people make against you.  Why do you even have to defend yourself?  Sadly you can't often control what is being said about you.  Spin doctors talk a lot about being able to 'control the narrative' but what if the narrative they are creating is completely fictitious, how are you able to defend yourself.  All you can do is let people of the world continue to doubt you.  In time the truth will reveal itself and you won't have had to have lifted a finger.

In stone, you'll find the meaning 
You're not standing tall
In the stone the light is shining 
Ever touching all 

Are you able to stand tall, even when you'd rather be sitting down?  When is the right time to stand tall?  When have you managed to get yourself back on your feet again?  You've probably seen what is written in the stone but you are too afraid to go after it.  Why do we doubt that we are able to complete anything that we set our minds to?  We might be continuing to doubt ourselves because the world teaches us that we are not good enough, that we are not deserving of the things that we want to achieve.  The world would have us believe that we should not wish for things that our ancestors did not have.


Life experience a passing day
Time will witness what the old folks say
Getting stronger every day
Strength is, strength is written in the stone

Do you listen to what the old folks have to say?  We might tend to ignore the sage advice of those who have come before us.  We might think they are too old fashioned and have no idea about the pressing demands of life in this day and age.  What do life experiences teach you about each passing day?  Do you feel that you are getting stronger with each new day?  Sometimes because you are a strong person, it is because you have learned how to be strong, not because you necessarily wanted to be strong.  If you are continually strong for others, how do you keep yourself together when you are inside falling apart?

Deep inside our hearts for us
Lies a spark of light that never sleeps
The greatest love you've ever known 
Love is, love is written in the stone


If you have an incessant light inside you that doesn't sleep, how do you keep it entertained when your body has to rest?  I would like to think that everybody has their own lights inside them that they let shine to the world when we are in need of some serious glow every now and then.  How do you ensure that your light stays visible for others to see?  Do you know what the greatest love is that you have ever known?  I believe that everyone has the greatest love in their lives - that it comes in different shapes and forms.  When people are able to show you the different examples of how it feels to be loved - then you will be able to feel what it is that people love about you, because you make them feel loved in return.

In the stone you'll find the meaning
You're not standing tall 
In the stone, the light is shining 
Ever touching all

I like to think about how I can let my light shine to touch others who are in need of illumination, joy and any kind of assistance that helps to send people on their journeys.  The range of things you might get asked is broad, from little activities that require little effort right up to huge activities that require a series of meetings and some deadlines to ensure its successful completion. When you need to stand tall, are you prepared?  Do you know how to carry yourself and trust yourself to be able to stand tall?
I think we should practice standing tall as many times as we can have the chance.  We believe too many of the doubts that have no business taking up space in our minds.  In time you'll find the meaning.

Never, never my darling 
Never you'll be alone
Never, never my darling 
Never you'll be alone
Ever, forever my darling
True love is written in the stone

I hope that you will never know what it feels like to be alone.  There will times where people will happily drift in and out of your life, eager to stay connected to you because the way you are with yourself, helps to make others feel lonely with themselves.  I had a chat with a cousin I've reconnected with recently and he asked me how I can get through the grief and pain I have suffered being a widow.  I told him that each day is a chance for things to be new and fresh because I choose not to feel sad about being left alone.  I remember all of the good times that I had with Loma, albeit brief.  Because you know if you've lost loved ones who meant so much to you - then you will know that you'll never be alone and that true love is written in the stone. . .

To be loved by you. . .

To be loved by you is like a breeze Like the summer rain falling through the trees Like the waves that's crashing on the seas, it's easy To be loved by you is like a song Playing in your head you can dance along Like running away with the dawn, it's easy Like flowers bloom, Like my love for you It's been a long time between blog posts. So much has happened since I last reflected about life around me through music. If you have read my blog posts before, then you would know that you are meant to play the YouTube clip (see below) while you read.  I stumbled across this new song that was released today. It's Anzac Day in Aotearoa New Zealand so it's also an opportune time to reflect on the service of our countrymen for peace in previous wars. There is something oddly familiar and comforting about this melody, this song. The whole vibe drew me in and I've always been a huge Emily King fan. Are you currently with someone who helps you feel this way? What is it lik...

Masterpiece (Mona Lisa). . .

My eyes ain't used to these rays I'm feeling exposed but I hide no more I can't hide As the sun shines on all of my glory My flaws don't look so bad at all What was I so afraid of? No matter how hard you try to hide, or try to be inconspicuous, it doesn't make a damn bit of difference. Trying to be lowkey when you are on high profile horizons is ridiculous. When your skills, gifts and talents thrust you into the spotlight, you know that you have a responsibility to do your best at all times, because it is no longer about you - it is about who you represent. You might be afraid that your failures and trauma, including your human flaws will all be on display for the world to see - but who has not lived an imperfect life? Why are we afraid of being exposed? Society teaches us to conform and be uniform. Sometimes all we need to do is insist on being comfortable with all our decisions, no matter where they lead us or where we were placed - because our flaws aren't as...
