You Are Born Today

Okay, i have decided in light of recent events, and a sudden desire to, that i am going to post one song each day from an album that means alot to me. I know it seems quite a "cheesey" thing to do, posting song lyrics. But i see these songs not just as words just thrown onto paper, but meaningful verses that i wouldn't just type out onto the internet if i didn't think they wouldn't resonate with people. Their deeper meaning is hidden only by their simplicity. Plus the album they are from is one of the greatest albums of modern times, in my opinion at least.

I hope that you enjoy them at least half as much as i do. I'm putting these here so i can read them without having to refer to the booklet all the time! I also thought that certain people might enjoy them. The album is in a journal form, the actual lyrics sung in the song will be obvious.

Okay, because the album has an intro track, i shall post that along with the first "proper" track. Here goes....


June 22 - Somewhere in the desert.
Journal entry 1 - "Summer Solstice"

I can feel it in the air, i know that my time is approaching. The only caertainty i feel is the one for the memories i will gain in the coming months. I pray that i can grow from this experience....

I am the blade of grass
trembling in the breeze
affected by surroundings.

I am the lava
whose path nothing can stop
changing the land for better or for worse.

i am the forest
The one being cut down to size
Only the owls know the secrets that i keep.

I am the sail
the one standing in awe of the wind
Amazed by the great lengths it carries me.

I am a student
The one with an eager mind
I have the most left to learn.

All i see is white.

I can honestly say i haven't felt this way in years. It's as if i was born today, born to set sail the prairie.....

The awakening......

I intend to use this blog to document my travels on what i can only describe as a spiritual path. I am going through the lessons contained within A Course Of Miracles, and you can to by either buying the book from most bookstores, or reading it online at http://www.iamacim.com. The site is hosted by a great guy named Devan, who also has a podcast in which he reads out and discusses each one of the 365 lessons daily, and invites people to chat with him live as he does so. Search ACIM on itunes to listen, or poke around the aforementioned site for more information.

But anyway, i find it helps somewhat to write stuff down and put it out there to the world, hence this blog, that i am so grateful for.

Today has been a good day. I couldn't possibly express the feelings i have gone through today, needless to say they have all ben somewhat positive. I have had glimses of peace and serenity which have put a smile on my face, and have hopefully affected those around me in a good way.

For some reason, i find it difficult to tell people close to me about this journey i am undertaking; which is why this blog will be kept from them for the time being. I know soon i would love them to read this.

I intend to do half an hour's meditation tonight, using my holosync audio. I don't meditate as much as i should. Well, as much as i want to anyway, as i know that there is no correct way to do this other than the way that you actually do it. That is the perfect way. Why strive for something that cannot be reached? Why regret something that has happened, when it has already happened and manifested itself in that way? Is that not making more problems for your self? Accept what is, and alter your behaviour accordingly. It is a beautiful thing to do.

Well, i must be getting back to work real soon, so i will leave this as it is until i find myself with enough free time to write again.

Whoever you are who is reading this, i love you. Have a wonderful day.
