Living on Love

They call it an earworm when a song gets stuck in your mind and you find yourself humming it thru out the day. When the song " what the world needs now" came out in 1965 it was a time of love and war. The sixty's represent the assassination of John F Kennedy, Martin Luther King and the Vietnam war but I also think it was a change in the way people thought. Sometimes this change was reflected in the music of the era.

I can remember that time period as a young person. Laying across my bed, daydreaming and thinking how I could change the world and make it a better place. Not much has changed on the world stage from that time period as we have had other wars and way to much violence.

I use to think if the people of the world thought the way I did than we could live in a sort of Utopia or a place of peace where everyone works for the common good. That is the part of growing up where you realize that everyone is not on the same page. It was the music group the Beatles that came out with the song " Some say I'm a dreamer but I am not the only one." I can relate to that song..we are not the only one.

I laughed to myself as I thought about the turmoil that surrounds us at times and the beauty of our place in it all. You can go ahead call me the " hopeless romantic or yes the dreamer" that believes you can live on love. Each day comes with a reminder , I reached for your hand and found your heart. What a gift life is and with our ability to share it in ways that places our heart and soul in its own sort of Utopia. In the playground of the mind and with the heart and soul we embrace with a simple form of love that makes all of life a better place.

In some ways I don' t think we grow older, we just take the eras of experience along with us. We are all the ages of that experience. I still see through the eyes of a hopeful ten year old, the rebellion of a sixteen year old and through all the ages in which experience has engrained within us. Oh yeah that is what I have been told "we don't get older, we get wiser."

I dedicate this post to love and all the beauty that love brings to us. It is the smile that I wake up with and the dreams that I fall asleep to each night. Perfect in thought an embrace of love conquering all evil. I laughed at the image that came to mind , we need our very own super hero costumes. Bowing to my King, your Queen awaits you. Like running through a field of flowers and then laying down upon the green grass to find you bending down to give me a kiss. Oh yes sings, " what the world needs now is love , sweet love ,no not for some but for everyone." That is my visual at the moment as I allow the simplicity of such a love guide me in all that I am and all that I do.

Chorus]

What the world needs now

Is love, sweet love

It's the only thing that there's just too little of

What the world needs now

Is love, sweet love

No, not just for some, but for everyone

Look, we don't need another mountain

There are oceans and rivers

Enough to cross, enough to last

Until the end of time

[Chorus]

Lord we dont need another meadow

There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow

There are sun beams and moon beams enough to shine

This I know, if you want to know

[Chorus]

What the world needs now

Is love, sweet love

What the world needs now

Is love, sweet love

What the world needs right about now

What the world needs now

Is love, sweet love

What the world needs now

Is love, sweet love

Light Up The Cloud

Light up the cloud,
the dance floor is ours,
if only to hold you
for a little while.

Your heart to mine,
rhythmic they beat,
spinning in circles
to memories.

Light up the cloud,
the dance floor is ours,
if only to hold you
for a little while.

Stars above us,
in the night of calm,
where we dance as one
all night long.

Light up the cloud,
the dance floor is ours,
if only to hold you
for a little while.

Your lips of sweet,
pressed gently to mine,
sharing a moment
please stand still time.

Light up the cloud,
the dance floor is ours,
if only to hold you
for a little while.

Not Only in My Dreams

Singing>I wanna hold you forever, I wanna make dreams come true.I wanna love you like no other and make you love me to.Not only in my dreams....no! no! Not only for a day, no! no! I wanna create our eternity, where you are holding me.

I wanna feel you inside me, I wanna dance the night away.I wanna make you need me .... the way that I need you....Not only in my dreams....no! no! Not only for a day, no! no!. I wanna create our eternity , where you are holding on to me.

Not only in my dreamssss

Soul Mates

Most people relate to the study of Greek mythology, the magical stories of the heavens and the gods that ruled them. Zeus the God of Gods, ruler of the universe struck bolts of thunder down upon mortal man. The myth that humans were combined of four arms and four legs and a single head made of two faces which struck fear into the Gods, caused Zeus to split them in half. Zeus Condemned split souls to spend eternity searching for the other half that would complete them giving them the energy and power.
In our modern day era there is all kinds of talk of searching for soul mates, a loosely used term for finding the person who has the perfect fit. Soul mates could be defined as very dear friends who have a strong bond, two people who walk in harmony, a life lasting connection, spiritual companions, twin flames that burn as one, one that has an extreme , positive influence over another or in a more romantic way some have referred to soul mates as the reuniting of
split souls.
There is no doubt in my mind that an energy does exist between people, on a scientific note, they would break it down to mere adrenaline. I believe soul mates are much deeper, it is the equilibrium that causes an inner balance of happiness.
In our society there are the expected norms, dating marriage, love an life that we are somehow predestined to perform. As you look around you find that rarely do people find such a perfection connection. In my mind is a view of all the perfect weddings that I had attended to find that very few lasted the miles.
In the bonding of a soul mate, both must be standing on common ground, that which feels comfortable and in a state of normalcy. Each knows the others moments of weakness as well as days of strength and brings out the best in all situations. The positive cognation from one partner to the next creates a platform of encouragement, promoting one to strive for better, to create a desire.
In a bond of two inner spirits there is no demand set upon the souls, but an understanding that speaks without words. Emotions rise up from the flames to possess the energy of desire and create lasting moments that lift and bond two into one.
What is the possibility that two people will find such a positive energy of attraction, both in the spiritual and physical sense? I can address no formal number to the combination of a puzzle that interlocks two souls.
Do I believe soul mates exist? I in every sense of the word believe there is a connection from one human to another that is above the normal expectation. The interaction of souls is rare and gifted with trust, respect, faith and love. The crucial ingredients must be met with self first before they can be shared with another human being. Standing at the gateway of self respect, allow faith and the trust in oneself guide you to Love.
