Flower of the universe. . . .

And child of mine. . .

They come to see the fire burning in your heart
They want to witness, this love from the start

What fire do you have burning in your heart?
Is it the kind of fire that if you shared would cause other hearts to burn too?
You might be surrounded by people who don't have hearts that burn, and don't know how to ignite those fires. It might be because you've had to hide your fire for so long. It might be because you've been with people who don't know what to do with that fire, or they've been trying to extinguish it. For those who want to witness what you have in your heart, to see what constitutes as love, what you have to offer - will you be willing to share? It takes time doesn't it. You might not want to show people what's really in your heart because they won't understand, they might try to steal what's in your heart or make you stop believing in how much love is important for you to share.

They hear you when you cry
This love is far and wide
When you smile the stars align
Flower of the universe
And child of mine

You sometimes wonder whether your cries will be heard.
You might have to be pretty obvious if you want people to help you - like your family and friends. Your co-workers might not be able to see what you're going through because they're busy working on their own agendas and goals, to be seen in their projects to be able to hear what you're going through. So who are you expecting to hear your cries? How far and wide is your love? Will it be enough to encompass all those who need to be able to feel it? Will your love stretch far and wide across to other planets? Across the universe? Will there be enough love for you to be able to survive, even if you have shared it so much with others? Is there enough for you to be loved on your own?

When you sleep softly the angels come
Like diamonds, like my love
They want to know it's true
There's someone in the world, lovely as you

What angelic beings ensure that you sleep softly at night?
Do they sparkle in the sky and watch over you when you least expect?
Everyone wants to know the truth, but whose truth are they searching for? Will they be ready to see what lies within you? Do people see the loveliness in you? What do they want to know about you that's true? Instead you find that they search for you in ambiguous ways rather than ask you what is going on. Maybe they aren't ready to know and will never truly come to know. All you need to remember is that you are unique, you are talented, and you don't need to conform to anything or anyone's ideas about how you should behave, how you should speak, if it is not your truth.

They hear you when you cry
This love is far and wide
When you smile the stars align
Flower of the universe
And child of mine

I hope you see how the stars align with your smile.
If you choose to live your life with a heart that is full of love that is knows nothing else than sharing your gifts and talents with people when they seek, that is your destiny. Even if you are alone and there doesn't seem as if there is anything or anyone else who is meant to understand your journey, then so be it. Use this solitude to find solace in yourself, in your cause. Know that when others are afraid to be what they need to be, continue to have quiet faith with a fearless mind about what you need to do. Be prepared to be nurtured and watered, to weather the storms that threaten to uproot you and plant you somewhere you've never been before, because the uncertainty that swirls around you right now, is just where you need to be. Don't forget that flower of the universe and child of mine. . .

Closer. . .

I was cruising down the street with my head in the sky Going nowhere fast trying to stay high oh, oh Windows down my arms are waving Oh Lord I can't feel ma face no no, no no, aye, Sister please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free Brother please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free The original version of this song is upbeat. I prefer this acoustic version as it resonates more with me, something about it going deep down in my soul (or it could just be the piano accompaniment). We might think we are heading nowhere fast because we keep comparing ourselves to our peers, our contemporaries and the timeline that we set for ourselves to complete all of our dreams and goals. We forget that life happens and things outside of our control, start to take control - and this is where the real work begins within ourselves - whether we have the right support systems of brothers and sisters to sing us songs of freedom - what can we collectively do toge...

Have you ever seen the rain? . . .

Comin' down on a sunny day. . . Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm I know it's been comin for some time When it's over so they say It'll rain a sunny day I know shinin' down like water Learning to be prepared for any given event is something that you should be able to do. I've recently discovered this amazing artist named Josh Tatofi. I think the reason why I love his voice so much is because he sounds like my late husband. The same smooth vocal line, the effortless way in which he dances along the melody line and does his own background harmonies reminds me so much of Loma's insistence on perfection when it came to singing, as much as he joked around about just singing for fun. I love the arrangement of the song - it's fresh, easy going and laidback and it's something you can easily bob your head along to in the car or wherever you seem to be travelling to or from. I want to know Have you ever seen the rai...

God provides. . .

There's no more need to fight. . . God provides, so why do I worry about my life When you come to my rescue a thousand times Every other voice it is a lie God provides It is easy to worry about your life. It's what humans are built to do. We worry about so many things. What people think of us. How we act towards said people. We worry about things that we cannot control, things we cannot hold. We spend far too much time worrying about things that we shouldn't be worrying about. When we think that nothing can come from anything, that's when God provides, above all else. How many times have you been rescued? Did you ask to be rescued? Did you ask to be placed in those situations that required God to step in and save you? Maybe yes. Maybe no. But one thing that I've come to know is that God has never lead me to a place that I couldn't get through, that I couldn't understand why I was lead there, that I di...
