Leonard Cohen

 Bird on the Wire

















https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lWcqbVKhCs 

(sung by Leonard  Cohen as an old man)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmPUu-rMpWA

(sung by Leonard Cohen as young man)


The Lord is my Shepherd

Psalm 23 


The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.


2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.


3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.


4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil;
For Thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.


5 Thou prepares a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou anoint my head with oil;
My cup runneth over.


6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.

The Colors we need...

The Moone Toone, Hirth Martinez

Full Moon of Guru Purnima

Composed Sunday, July 29, 2007


Yesterday I washed my soft pink towels with something blue. Oops. 

Now I have soft blue towels. It must be what I need just nowto wrap myself in blue softness.


How perfect life is when we can accept what is. No resisting. 

No thinking pink should be pink when it is clearly blue.


Life is a painting that gives us just the colors we need.

Susanne Sundfør songs









Susanne Sundfør - Reincarnation

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4cpyFAHEmI

Do you believe in reincarnation? 'Cause I thought I saw your soul Flashing and dancing on the horizon Shades of jade and emerald Oh, I'm a bad girl 'cause I turned the bad world Into a crystal pearl And we were loveless, oh, it was pure bliss Something I've never felt before I might be crazy, but baby, lately I don't believe the news They say it's ending to stop pretending To start looking for the clues A glass cylinder where we can linger Let me take us to the stars I won't be missing your tender kissing 'Cause the light will wipe out all the scars.

Susanne Sundfør - No One Believes In Love Anymore

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSRUxacE9nU

No one believes in love anymore They throw away the keys, no one knocked on the door No one knocked on the door, knocked on the door You reap what you sow, no one knocked on the door Pain is pleasure and then just pain Chasing the thunder and lost in the rain You are lost in the rain, lost in the rain Yourself to blame, you are lost in the rain The skin so enticing, the thrill of the sting Then drops the stinger and the spinning begins Oh, yes, the spinning begins, the spinning begins The world has gone off the hinges, and the spinning begins A downwards spiral, punctured balloon Disfigured and pale looking up at the Moon Looking up at the Moon, up at the Moon We’ll all get there soon, looking up at the Moon.

Susanne Sundfør - Undercover (Live)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-uRyOu4YV4


Don't trust the ones who love you 'Cause if you love them back They'll always disappoint you It's just a matter of fact Don't love the ones who trust you It's just not in your heart You're a teasing little twister and They're dancers in the dark, oh, but I wish I had a lover who'd keep it undercover We could live our dreams, we'd sail on golden wings I wish I had a lover, someone who wouldn't bother To tell me what to feel, to tell me what is real It's not a lot I'm asking for They'll kiss you in the evening, devils in disguise, and Love you till the morning then vanish before your eyes A walking disaster can also master A graceful posture, but where's the dignity when...? I wish I had a lover who'd keep it undercover We could live our dreams, we'd sail on golden wings I wish I had a lover, someone who wouldn't bother To tell me what to feel, to tell me what is real It wouldn't even matter If you didn't even bother To be more than a lover It wouldn't even matter If I didn't even bother To believe in a forever, no It wouldn't even matter If you didn't even bother To be more than a lover It wouldn't even matter If you didn't even bother To be more than a lover, no, no, no.

Happy trails

Everyone gets lost now and then. So have some compassion for yourself. It’s all right on your way home. It’s all right! Yes! Yes, even the detours. Even getting lost. The journey is the thing. So why not enjoy it?

The love and blessings of angels are with you now and always.

Happy trails to you!

The Clear & Simple Way Messages
Your Open Classroom is always open…are you?


Todays message honors jazz musician, singer, songwriter, piano player Bob Dorough whose spirit left his body the other day. I used one of his quotes in my lessons:

“I guess I’ve been on my way home ever since I left it many moons ago. I always figured I’d end up about where I started and so I’m not anxious to complete the circle. The journey is the thing, with the side trips, detours, and—yes, getting lost now and then—it’s all right on your way home. My quest? To find you and you and you; to sing you a song and have you not walk out on me; to make you zoom in on the meaning of life like you never did before.”

And I added…
Everyone gets lost now and then. So, have some compassion for yourself. It’s all right on your way home. It is ALL RIGHT! Yes! Yes, even the detours. Even getting lost. The journey is the thing. So, why not enjoy it?

Bob and Hirth were friends and used to talk to each other on the phone, from other ends of the country. Bob even gave a testimonial for the first 24 angel lessons I ever wrote: “The Clear and Simple Way is deep and meaningful and learned and I am honored to be quoted therein. Of course, I will have to read it again (and again and . . . ?). One reading could not possibly show me its depth.”

Thank you, Bob...for all the magic.

RISING ABOVE CLICHÉS

You might like to read this: To Be a Genius, Think Like a 94-Year-Old: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/07/opinion/sunday/to-be-a-genius-think-like-a-94-year-old.html
"Refuse to act according to the dictates of society. Just let yourself be. No matter how old you think you are becoming, refuse to act old. Refuse to think old. Refuse to feel old. Refuse to walk old. Refuse to let clichés, such as, 'You are not getting any younger,' or any other limiting beliefs penetrate your psyche and make you afraid. Refuse to let yourself be defined and limited by clichés! "-from Lesson 14: Rising Above Clichés.

Dearest Friend

The words "Dearest Friend " coming from the angels have deep meaning. Coming from a human being, the meaning is not the same. This is because angels are always our friend. Angels know what it means to be a friend. Why? Because angels are friends first and foremost with God. God is the best friend of every angel. God is whom angels turn to. God teaches angels and angels teach us. We are fortunate this way. We are fortunate to have come across the teachings of the angels. From the angels we can learn what it means to be a friend. When we are a friend to God, we can be a friend to ourself. Only then can we be a friend to anyone else.

So do not despair when you let yourself or others down. Do not despair when others let you down. Do not despair when the friends of this world block you on facebook or from their life. This is the way of the world. It is not the way of God.

It is not the way of God! 

God never hurts us. Angels never hurt us. Hurt is not the way of God. God will never give up on us. God is always here, shining in true friendship. God is our best friend.

So when the world and its ways hurt you, do not despair. The world can only be the world. You are in the world and you are not of the world.  You are of the kingdom of heaven. Light is your true nature.

on angel wings message

Why do you try so hard to control the next moment? Then you have no energy to live this moment. An endless cascade of light flows through you. You are a brook flowing merrily down a mountainside. Why think you are the rocks you pass over?

Guardian Angel Message

My Dear Angel Friends, Here is an angel I once painted. I will take her picture and post her in different ways as time goes on...in the meantime, here is an angel message written on a misty morning here in Austin. South Austin. Not so long ago I lived in Southern California, so I am still in the south, whatever that means. The mourning doves and the birds are greeting the morning as flowers  blossom in the pleasure of springtime.

Dearest One,
As you are all One I greet you as One. As angels we know we are one. Angels are not puffed-up with grandeur. We do not have to prove we are unique and special. Angels already know this, for we exist within the Great Knowing.

Just as the individual flames of many candles each burn in their own unique way, so does each angel. So do you, but you do not yet know this. If you are reading this, we assure you--you do not know this.

As a candle flame can exist alone, so can you. So do you. Each flame has the same properties--the ability to give light and warmth, to inspire awe and wonder, to still the mind of one who gazes into its depths.

A great fire can also do this. If you were to watch a fire burning down a house or a forest, you would know this. You would become aware of the magnitude, the power of what happens when many small flames become one.

Angels know this. Angels know this about God. Angels know this about angels. Angels know that their combined energy gives out great warmth, light, beauty, and power. Angels know that you do not know this, and so angels are gentle and compassionate with you.

Just as you are afraid of a forest fire, a house fire, so are you afraid of your own fire, the fire of God, the greatness of your own being that can be experienced when you surrender your ego individuality to the great Oneness. You are afraid to become one with the Oneness, so you stay small and weak. You let yourself stay hidden in the darkness.

Let yourself instead merge with the greatness that is God. Let yourself burn in the great Light. You will not become less. You will not become less of who you are. You will become more. Much more. You will rejoice. You will sing as the angels sing. You will know yourself at last, also as you are known.

With endless and fascinating love, Your Own Guardian angel and all the angels who burn as one flame in your heart forever.

Flowers everywhere

 
Our classmate, Ursula K, sent me this link. I find it to be both beautiful and inspiring. May we all create such worlds of beauty on the inside that they are reflected on the outside. And may we live in such worlds of inner beauty that we see beauty everywhere. Or...as angels see...the face of God everywhere.

Angels of Water


There are many varieties of water angels. The angels of waterfalls and brooks twirl and dance, sparkling into and out of form. They awaken the innocent childlike joy inside every person. Running water is a good place to go when your spirit needs uplifting.
