Stone


A few weeks ago I started listening to replays of Alessia Cara.

I really respect her lyrics.
She talks so much of mental health and the tug of war to be well. Her lyrics are universal and impacts us all.
I remember the first time I listened to her lyrics was 🎶Find me where the wild things are.🎶
This song made my soul levitate and dance. She got me. I got her lyrics.

As a Poet, I am always compelled by great lyrics.
It is the magic that makes the stars sparkle at night. It is the divine light within shared with others.

It is one reason I'm a country music fan. The artist tell relatable stories in songs.

As I listened to Alessia, this song played.
Stone

The lyrics and melody are simple. The message is transparent and clear. Life can get so messy and murky. We find it hard to be honest with ourselves. It is so beautiful to be seen and known and wholly accepted while loved. It is almost to perfect for a human to do. Maybe it's something only God can manage.

For those of us who have that 1 in a billion kind of love, know you're super blessed.

We all want this kind of safety in love. The kind that grounds us and is sure.

So this week on Valentines Day, I wish you this kind of love. May it lift you up, swirl you around and make you smile.

Happy Valentines Day. 2024!
❤️Bliss

Sing Unto the Lord

  Sing Unto the Lord This was the name of the songbook in the Pentecostal Church I grew up in. It was my favorite songbook.   It was the only songbook I knew. During COVID, I ordered a copy of it to teach my children the hymns I grew up singing. To my dismay, the organization changed the songs that were listed. It was an abbreviated version of my childhood memory. Singing has always been one of my favorite things.  It makes me happy.   I love music, and I love to sing. I always wanted to be a jazz soloist. I don’t have a strong soloist voice, but I can carry a tune.   I’m an efficient backup/choir singer. It never stopped me from grabbing the mic in church or at Karaoke. Most of my adult life I’ve sat on the back pew and absorbed the goodness of God.   During covid, we weren’t going to church at all. No one was. I was inspired to sing and write like never before.   I’ve written so many poems and songs over the last 4 years. Most of whi...

The Universe

  This week I had a conversation with a friend.   Our paths have intertwined on various levels and paths over the years. We both have always subscribed to manifesting and abundance.   I discovered recently that she too is renewing her faith in Jesus.   We are both being revived in the faith. We discussed the layers of “new thought” and it's   place in God’s plan. She shared with me some revelations about several conversations that we’ve previously had. I thought back over my entire journey.   I grew up underneath the church pew.   As a young adult I got distracted but returned to my faith in a fringe capacity.   I permanently occupied the “backsliders’ row” on the church pew. When I was far from the cross, I missed the discipline of faith.   I missed the inspiration,  promise of abundance, and prosperity that results in   being sprit filled.   When I was introduced to meditation and  manifesting,   I found gre...

The New Yorker

    If I had to pick a publication that represented all the cool   intellectual kids and me, it would be the New Yorker.   Everything about its influence is metro and retro reminding me of my foundation for curiosity, creativity, and independent thought as a kid. Recently I had an assignment in my communications class to apply for a dream job or opportunity.   I chose The New Yorker.   It’s a brand with a meaningful past   and promising legacy.   Every contributor is brilliant in their own right, and both the contributors and guests   featured are an instant authority. Most importantly, although it is the Sunday Paper meets Life magazine, they do an extraordinary job of keeping the humanity and intrigue in the message and the work of structured journalism. You could call it “creative non-journalism.”    It’s audience and its core values are things I wholeheartedly align with.   Although the majority of its consumers are...
