Today's song

Spare a little candle
Save some light for me
figures up ahead
Moving in the trees
White skin in linen
Perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
these dreams in the mist
Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands
I want to see you clearly
Come closer than this
But all I remember
Are the dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

Is it cloak 'n dagger
Could it be spring or fall
I walk without a cut
Through a stained glass wall
Weaker in my eyesight
The candle in my grip
And words that have no form
Are falling from my lips

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

There's something out there
I can't resist
I need to hide away from the pain
There's something out there
I can't resist
The sweetest song is silence
That I've ever heard
Funny how your feet
In dreams never touch the earth
In a wood full of princes
Freedom is a kiss
But the prince hides his face
From dreams in the mist

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

Heart - These Dreams

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace

sleeping till 9, doing homework in pj's, coffee w/b, coffee on the backporch, a quiet house, my old school Heart CD, Ezekial playing bells, friends telling me not to obsess

My soul thirsts

There have only been 3 things in my life that have caused my entire being to ache. It is not like my backache, not like a headache or toothache. I guess it is a soulache. Now there are 2 more, one brought about by the other. Grief stricken over the death of a pastor, mentor, advisor, friend brought about by the desire to make the right decision.

Lead me Lord

Lead me, Lord,
lead me in thy righteousness.
Make thy way plain
before my face.

For it is thou, Lord,
thou Lord only,
that maketh me dwell in safety.

"God, Thank you. Take away the pain. Amen"

bells on the way to work, cherry coke zero, watermelon, clean towels, a little boy's healing prayers, olive garden salad

Labor Day

harvest grain pancakes, baby voices, figuring out the way in, the front porch swing and the back porch chair, thank you cards from sweet little boys, burnt hotdogs, Leah's call

Today's song

Walk humbly, son
Walk humbly, now
And cherish every step
For a life well spent
On this earth we're lent
Will be marked by the void you have left

May you conquer not curse challenges
May you hold back the dark like a dam
May you lead your life with lion's roar
May you leave it like a lamb

Don't await rewards for your good deeds
A reward won't make them good
Don't await judgment of any foes
They'll receive just what they should

When you find the axis of this world
Don't tread too far inside
Run away as far as you think you can
Be well and enjoy the ride

Walk humbly, son
And store your pride
When you need strength later on
For your life's work will be judged if earth
Is saddened when you have gone

Walk humbly, son
Walk humbly, how
And forget not where you are from
May you go further than those before
And provide for those to come

Will you walk humbly, Son?

Walk Humbly, Son
(Eddie from Ohio)

It's hard to be humble with you are blessed with so many gifts

people as loopy as me, "She doesn't take orders, she gives orders!", the possibility of FCOB applebutter once again, meeting new neighbors and catching up with old ones, children in my yard, swinging with Logan singing "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and watching his "happy dance" reaction to the bubbles in Sprite, helping Willie explain to Megan that Tennessee and West Virginia/Kentucky accents are not actually foreign languages
