Hey there dearest Lighty friends,
Well I guess you all know by now, that I'm avid fan of the juggernaut TV program here in Oz called 'The Voice'.
It's probably the only show I watch on the telly - merely for the pure entertainment factor - I'm really quite impressed
by the format.
Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, for those of you who remember, I posted a vid of one of the contestants. A beautiful young
girl, Rachael Leahcar, who literally has a voice of an angel. The song she sang then, was a rendition of the French
classic 'Le Vie En Rose' - she was just absolutely breathtaking and mezmirising. She moved the judges to the point of
tears. Quite fortunately, Rachael has made it through to the Finals, she has completely captured the heart of a nation.
Oz is utterly enraptured by her.
Rachael is legally blind and can only see about a half a metre in front of her - so she needs to be guided on and off stage for
every performance. She can't see the judges reactions, nor can she see the audience, the only thing she is aware
of is the music she hears and the noise the audience makes in response to her beautiful talent. There is something so
vulnerable, fragile, innocent and pure about this gorgeous young lady. Something just makes you want to be near her, just to
bathe in her glowing light, to be protective of her. She certainly has a presence, that's for sure.
She sang this song last night as the last act of the evening. See how radiantly she shines - it was like witnessing an angel
sent from heaven, singing songs of joy from her very heart and soul. It bought tears to my eyes. I hope you enjoy her song
as much as I did. It's a version of Jewels number 1. hit song 'Hands'. Coincidentally, I posted the original song to this site
in response to blog earllier yesterday evening. So it really resonated with me. GO RACHAEL!!!
Much love and happiness to you all

Hey there dear Lighty friends,
Still handling those Solar Sun blasts??? I hope so.
Oddly, I just found this vid, I feel it probably defines and really expresses the Sun symptoms we are all probably
experiencing to some extent atm. The symptoms may all individully vary to some degree with each of us but
it's all GOOD & a very necessary source process to accomplish our complete transformation and transfiguration.
Anyway, this really resonated with me. So I hope you enjoy it. If not - I'm sure you will enjoy the creative
interpretation that has gone into the making of this particular music clip. I think it's completely brilliant.

Much love and happiness to you all

Hey dear Lighty friends,
I actually heard this song in my dream - it woke me up. It's 4:45am here in Oz, just couldn't wait to post it for you all. Such good news.
Bob Marley - "Three Little Birds"
"Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"
Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:")
Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"
Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:"
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be all right. Don't worry!"
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing" - I won't worry!
"'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right" - I won't worry!
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,

Guided today to use my "wee-hour headphone time" for a few good songs about Dreams. Props to Noel, this is merely a music party by another name.
Pulled this one because it was a crucial reminder to me at a rough point, couldn't think my way out. So..."keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreaming it's time to die."
Vivid memory of slow dancing to this one with a friend...
"Sweet dreams 'till sunbeams find you."
Contemporary psychology claims that dreams of houses or homes are analogous of concepts of Self. I used to have dreams of being caught in confusing and perplexing houses, maze like things. Then, during my healing, I had a dream of my father and I sitting in a tiny one room house playing cards. I remember saying "...but when it rains, I can do this:" and in the dream I leaned out of the window to feel the rain on my face. Later in the dream I was following dad; we were in different cars, but I had to stop, because he had run someone over...ANYWAY. Now my dreams take place outside. lol.
The Molly Hatchet, just cause it rocks.
Imagination, dreams and daydreams. May all of yours come true. "Do all the things you've never dared."

I have noticed an interesting phenomenon, and I am simply putting it out there for discussion. I am still not 100% sure of all the meaning behind it, but we will just go with it, and see what happens.
Earlier this month I received a message from my guides that said, "The Ascended Masters have left, only those who work with Gaia will be able to stand balanced through the shift."
I did not post this information because of the words, "The Ascended Masters have left".
But I am posting it now, because my Heart is guiding me to do so. I am not personally saying they have or have not, just simply pointing to some information I was receiving.
The interesting phenomenon I noticed, is that when I would channel other beings, or even put Kryon on, or other Ascended Master Channelings, my cats would run out of the room, and for awhile this puzzled me.
About a week ago, I started to wake up to this realization, and I asked myself this question, "Why?"
I noticed another interesting phenomenon, when I was channeling the energies of Gaia, or whenever I was working with earth-oriented energies, my cats would not run, they would sit there as calm as could be and listen.
So I thought to myself, hmm...this is interesting. One of my guides is very wise, and she is always protecting me. I can always tell when I am doing something I shouldn't, because she will give me that look like, "Hey stupid, what are you doing now?"
So I said, "Okay, lets figure out what this."
Then I began to ask myself the question, "Why would any highly evolved being take control of another persons body, for any reason?"
And I saw a vision, "I saw that a whole group of new souls were coming to embody on the planet of Gaia, NEW SOULS, not old souls, and that there was a kind of testing ground. Would the people of Gaia embrace themselves and be who they are, or allow these NEW SOULS to push them out, during the cycle, and incarnate in their body."
I was like, "WHOA!", that is some intense information there. Immediately, I was like, "Uh-uh." Nope. This is MY body, not your body, I am staying THROUGH THE shift on Gaia, not being kicked out.
And all of the puzzle pieces started to make more sense to me. The basic idea of the information I received is those that are being channeled are not OLD souls coming through the body to remind us of who we are, but are NEW SOULS, who don't understand the human experience at all, and so yes, they are closer to source, but have no understanding of who we are as a people, yet, Gaia does.
Do we allow ourselves to embrace Gaia fully, or do we allow ourselves to basically be phased out?
This is a tough question, and the answers may be even tougher.
I made this video today, IT IS CAT APPROVED~!
Lots of Love,
Lesley

Hey there dearest Lighty friends,
Today is the 1st year anniversary that I lost one of my dearest friends Karen - I recall with fondness and happiness, the love and special bond we shared together. I know I can't see, hear or touch her but I know she is always around me when I think of her. It's true - Love Is MUCH Stronger Than Death. I wish to celebrate her glorious life and know that whilst she was here - she touched so many souls and made a difference to others lives. When I think of you, I smile - I will always love you Karen.
the The - Love Is Stronger Than Death
Lovelovelove
Lovelovelove
Me & my friend were walking In the cold light of mourning.
Tears may blind the eyes but the soul is not deceived
In this world even winter aint what it seems.
Here come the blue skies here comes springtime.
When the rivers run high & the tears run dry.
When everything that dies.
Shall rise.
Lovelovelove is stronger than death.
Lovelovelove is stronger than death.
In our lives we hunger for those we cannot touch.
All the thoughts unuttered & all the feelings unexpressed
Play upon our hearts like the mist upon our breath.
But, awoken by grief, our spirits speak
How could you believe that the life within the seed
That grew arms that reached
And a heart that beat.
And lips that smiled
And eyes that cried.
Could ever die?
Here come the blue skies here comes springtime.
When the rivers run high & the tears run dry.
When everything that dies.
Shall rise.
Lovelovelove is stronger than death.
Lovelovelove is stronger than death.
Shall rise. shall rise.
Shall rise.
Much love and happiness to you all

Hey dear Lighty friends,
Really getting into the wonderful vibes of these new energies atm. I feel completely refreshed and reinvigorated. I listen to the radio nearly all day at work. This song is getting a lot of air play - it's the new single by Lisa Mitchell (Oz singer) called 'Spiritus' - everytime I hear it - it reminds me of Rachy and her alter ego Sirmangolillipilli and how he loves to imbibe in the intoxicating beverage of 'Spiritus' lol. Always puts a smile on my dial when I think about it.
Thanks Rachy - for all the giggles and laughs. You have a wonderfully, wicked and clever sense of humour. Let's share some SPIRITUS between us??? I can't believe they've actually dedicated a song to this gorgeous galactic infusion of copious amounts of effervescent lurve bubbles of cherry cheer.
Clink!!! Clink!!! Cheers - Cherry ones that is - love you Rach.
Much love to you all - Get some of that 'Spiritus' under your gills lol. It's really good stuff

Hey there dear Lighty friends,
Wow!!! I'm really feeling rather good atm - there seems to be a break in the recent oppressive energies of late. I feel so much lighter and free. Much more positive indeed. Just heard this song, which is climbing the charts here in Oz - I was dancing around my living room - not a care in the world. Everytime I hear this tune, I can't help but tap my fingers and toes, it's very contagious. Watch these young Street Angels and Home Devils (or vice/versa) cut the rug. Don't dance alone - join me and have some infectious fun lol. I think we deserve it.
Much love to you all - Remember!!! We may not be here for a long time, so we may as well have a good time.

Give me a chance
And I'll show you the way
I know someday you'll be mine
You will know too
It's a matter of time
Oh! Let me hold your hand
Please, let your heart beat again
You know I daydream of you
I'm so in love
It's too good to be true
You make me smile
As I look in your eyes
My heart is full
Like my very first time
It's like I was born again
I just can't say
How happy I am
Oh! Let me hold your hand
Please, let your heart beat again

We are guardians of Universal History. Living it, feeling it each moment of our existance. See with your Soul's eyes, and you will see a completely different picture. A buffet of endless events appearing in front of you magically. When you come to realize, all that you do is between you and Source in true, in love.
Connection with the Higher Source of your existance breaks you in pieces, so it can put you back as a Whole...feeling little and giant at the same time, feeling nothing and everything in one vessel we call...human condition.
The Soul loves you regardless of your condition, so love it back!!!
Thank you, and good nite!!!
Blessings to your heart!

Being the shaman that I am, I am drawn to drumming and flute. Moves me deep every time like nothing else. It is the rhythm of the Earth and me and the cosmic forces and spirits aligned and collaborating as one yet separate at the same time. Not only with this particular find, but with with others similar.

I am in the process of manifesting my life's purpose, and it is exciting beyond anything I have ever experienced before! It came about by what most people would consider "difficult means." Then again, many of us have found the true gifts that can be obscured by difficult circumstances. You have to give yourself the time to heal, and then be courageous enough to look.
Going through a difficult divorce, seeing my world as I knew it disintegrate as a result, as well as the loss of close family members at different times in my life, have presented me with many challenges to my spirituality. With each choice I had to decide whether to zig or zag. It seemed like either choice ushered in a "dark night of the soul."
One may view those dark times as weakness, or one may choose to view them as times of transformation. For me they were truly transformative. Like a purifing fire that burns off impurities, my experiences burnt away old paradygms, habits, myths, and took a good chunk out of my ego.
Within all of the chaos and pain there is a deep quiet wellspring where a person can always go to rest, and to drink of its waters. It is the Source of the living waters, as well as the waters Itself. I visit that wellspring often and it's refreshment has provided me with such joy, peace and love that as its natural extension, I am compelled to share it!
That leads me to my gift. It is the gift of a song that I wish to share with all nations. Its message is love, joy and peace. My alignment with the Divine has allowed me to become a conduit for this healing message, that I KNOW must be shared with all. That is Its Essence.
Just hit the play button! I invite you to have a listen as my spirit rejoices . . .

I am the voice that always is calling you
I am the voice, I will remain
I am the voice in the fields
when the summer's gone
The dance of the leaves
when the autumn winds blow
Ne'er do I sleep thoughout
all the cold winter long
I am the force
that in springtime will grow
I am the voice of the past
that will always be
Filled with my sorrow and blood
in my fields
I am the voice of the future,
bring me your peace
Bring me your peace,
and my wounds, they will heal...
I am the voice in the wind
and the pouring rain
I am the voice of your hunger and pain
I am the voice that always is calling you
I am the voice
I am the voice of the past
that will always be
I am the voice of your hunger and pain
I am the voice of the future
I am the voice, I am the voice
I am the voice, I am the voice

Sam Cooke "speaks" to me a lot lately.
Death
Cooke died at the age of thirty-three on December 11, 1964, at the Hacienda Motel at 9137 South Figueroa Street in Los Angeles, California via gunshot wound to the torso. He was shot to death by the manager of the hotel Cooke was staying at in an apparent case of self defense. However, the details of the case involving Cooke's death are still in dispute.
[edit] Controversy
Bertha Franklin, manager of the Hacienda Motel, told police that she shot and killed Cooke in self-defense because he had attacked her. Police found Cooke's body in Franklin's apartment-office, clad only in a sports jacket and shoes, but no shirt, pants or underwear.[13] The official police record[14] states that Franklin fatally shot Cooke who had checked in earlier that evening. Franklin claimed that Cooke had broken into the manager's office-apartment in a rage, wearing nothing but a shoe and a sports coat demanding to know the whereabouts of a woman who had accompanied him to the hotel. Franklin said that the woman was not in the office and that she told Cooke this, but the enraged Cooke did not believe her and violently grabbed her, demanding again to know the woman's whereabouts. According to Franklin, she grappled with Cooke, the two of them fell to the floor, and she then got up and ran to retrieve her gun. She said that she then fired at Cooke, in self-defense, because she feared for her life. Cooke was struck once in the torso, and according to Franklin, he exclaimed, "Lady, you shot me," before mounting a last charge at her. She said that she beat him over his head with a broomstick before he finally fell, mortally wounded by the gunshot.
According to Franklin and the motel's owner, Evelyn Carr (whose last name is identified by some sources as Card, rather than Carr[8]), they had been on the telephone together at the time of the incident. Thus, Carr claimed to have overheard Cooke's intrusion and the ensuing conflict and gunshots. Carr called the police to request that they go to the motel, informing them that she believed a shooting had occurred.
A coroner's inquest was convened to investigate the incident. The woman who had accompanied Cooke to the motel was identified as Elisa Boyer, who had also called the police that night shortly before Carr. Boyer had called the police from a telephone booth near the motel, telling them she had just escaped being kidnapped.
Boyer told the police that she had first met Cooke earlier that night and had spent the evening in his company. She claimed that after they left a local nightclub together, she had repeatedly requested that he take her home, but he instead took her against her will to the Hacienda Motel. She claimed that once in one of the motel's rooms, Cooke physically forced her onto the bed and that she was certain he was going to rape her. According to Boyer, when Cooke stepped into the bathroom for a moment, she quickly grabbed her clothes and ran from the room. She claimed that in her haste, she had also scooped up most of Cooke's clothing by mistake. She said that she ran first to the manager's office and knocked on the door seeking help. However, she said that the manager took too long in responding, so, fearing Cooke would soon be coming after her, she fled the motel altogether before the manager ever opened the door. She claimed she then put her own clothing back on, hid Cooke's clothing, and went to the telephone booth from which she called police.
Boyer's story is the only account of what happened between the two that night; however, her story has long been called into question. Inconsistencies between her version of events and details reported by other witnesses, as well as circumstantial evidence (e.g., thousands in cash that Cooke was reportedly carrying was never recovered, and Boyer was soon after arrested for prostitution),[15] invited speculation that Boyer may have gone willingly to the motel with Cooke, then slipped out of the room with Cooke's clothing in order to rob him, rather than to escape an attempted rape.[8][14]
Such questions were ultimately deemed beyond the scope of the inquest,[8] whose purpose was to establish the circumstances of Franklin's role in the shooting, not to determine precisely what had transpired between Cooke and Boyer preceding the event. Boyer's leaving the motel room with almost all of Cooke's clothing, regardless of exactly why she did so, combined with the fact that tests showed Cooke was inebriated at the time, provided what inquest jurors deemed a plausible explanation for Cooke's bizarre behavior and state of dress, as reported by Franklin and Carr. This explanation, in conjunction with the fact that Carr's testimony corroborated Franklin's version of events, and the fact that police officials testified that both Boyer and Franklin had passed lie detector tests,[8][16][17] was enough to convince the coroner's jury to accept Franklin's explanation, and return a verdict of justifiable homicide[9]. With that verdict, authorities officially closed the case on Cooke's death.[8][18]
Some of Cooke's family and supporters, however, have rejected Boyer's version of events, as well as those given by Franklin and Carr. They believe that there was a conspiracy to murder Cooke and that the murder took place in some manner entirely different from the three official accounts.[19][20][21][22][23][24][8]
Cooke's funeral was held in Chicago at A.R Leak Funeral Home, where thousands of fans had lined up for over four city blocks to view his body. In her autobiography, Rage to Survive, singer Etta James claimed that she viewed Cooke's body in the funeral home and that the injuries she observed were well beyond what could be explained by the official account of Franklin alone having fought with Cooke. James described Cooke as having been so badly beaten that his head was nearly separated from his shoulders, his hands were broken and crushed, and his nose mangled.[25]
No concrete evidence supporting a conspiracy theory has been presented to date.[22][23]
Cooke was interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.
Some posthumous releases followed, many of which became hits, including "A Change Is Gonna Come", an early protest song that is generally regarded as his greatest composition.[26] After Cooke's death, his widow, Barbara, married Bobby Womack. Cooke's daughter, Linda, later married Bobby's brother, Cecil.[12]

You were born to express your gifts. There is music in you, just awaiting expression.
What is this music and why is it so important now?
The music is the unique energetic expression of your soul. It manifests as gifts.
Only you can express these. Only you can give them to the world. As you connect with and express your gifts, something amazing happens. The light within you expands, bringing an uplifting vibration into your energy field. As this happens, your frequency increases and your light radiates out into the world.
This light becomes incorporated into your interactions with others; it provides a radiant spark to your activities.
The sound of your music is soundless from a conventional world view. However, this sound is boundless and vast – heard throughout the cosmos as your divine creative spark. It indeed has tones, from a spiritual perspective, but the sound cannot be detected with human ears.
You can express your music anywhere. It’s not about your job, your career, or some other worldly marker. It’s an expression of your soul – like a fingerprint, unique to you. The world needs your music, especially right now. The Earth is at a crucial tipping point, with humanity needing to choose a radically different way of life in order to survive.
You are, after all, a divine changemaker, alive now to help create a more loving world.
You are encoded at a DNA level to consciously and actively participate in the most astounding revolution of consciousness ever seen.
The key is remembering – as you do so, you connect with your gifts and naturally desire to share them in the world.
This is not complicated, but you must do this to be fulfilled and to fulfill your purpose of being alive during these auspicious moments.

Uploaded by AvatarEmme on Jul 3, 2011
Uploaders Comments:
In finding my Twin Flame I found myself, in finding him, I found my way home....we are One.
The Twin Flame journey is that of unconditional love, it is always marked by spiritual awakening in order to allow your soul to merge to its original Source...so you can finally go Home....
Finding our Twin Flame is a blessing bestowed upon us by God, once you find your Twin Flame the relationship is meant to manifest into physical reality ~ the only thing that can change that is the choices we make....choices not made by following our hearts.
Surrender, surrender to God's will, surrender to the Universe....knowing and trusting what IS.....only Love is Real....

Music and Lyrics by Cari Kindl
Everything I knew faded to black and I was floating miles above
Suddenly I knew life was a fantasy and I was the key to my reality
And all of my fears faded away
This is the real me holding out my hand
This is a new world in my command
But there’s nothing I can do to make you love me
So tell me what you see are you the one from a lifetime ago?
Something in your eyes just makes me want to hold you
But I need to know that you will have me just the way I am
This is the real me holding out my hand
This is a new world in my command
But there’s nothing I can do to make you love me
I have been writing for other artists lately and asking my friends and acquaintances to please let me know whom of their favorite artists they could hear singing this song.
Stripped down and empty of my anger
No fuel for you to keep us in this foolish game
You know I will not break
Just take my hand or walk away
This is the real me
Holding out my hand
I am a new girl
And I have a new plan
But there’s nothing I can do to make you love me
There’s nothing I can say to make you stay
Take my hand or walk away
I have been writing for other artists lately and asking my friends and acquaintances to help me out by telling me whom of their favorite artists they can hear singing this particular song. I appreciate your input.

I thought that you knew it all
Well you've seen it ten times before.
I thought that you had it down
With both your feet on the ground.
I love slow...slow but deep.
Feigned affections wash over me.
Dream on my dear
And renounce temporal obligations.
Dream on my dear
It's a sleep from which you may not awaken.
You build me up then you knock me down.
You play the fool while I play the clown.
We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum.
You raise my hopes then you raise the odds
You tell me that I dream too much
Now I'm serving time in disillusionment.
I don't believe you anymore...I don't believe you.
I thought that I knew it all
I'd seen all the signs before.
I thought that you were the one
In darkness my heart was won.
You build me up then you knock me down.
You play the fool while I play the clown.
We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum.
You raise my hopes then you raise the odds
You tell me that I dream too much
Now I'm serving time in a domestic graveyard.
I don't believe you anymore...I don't believe you.
Never let it be said I was untrue
I never found a home inside of you.
Never let it be said I was untrue
I gave you all my time.
"Those of you who sit safe and warm indoors".....is the man who is 'fortunate' not to have been 'called', fortunate enough to stay blind to the injustices of this world, fortunate enough to be able to ignore them and do nothing but serve themselves and remain comfortably numb. (BigJay927)
Much love to you all

Time to Get Serious
http://ashtarstrinity.sanandaseagles.com/channelings/time_to_get_serious.html
ASHTAR
Channeled Through Janisel
My Dearest Friends.... I come to assure you that things are as they should be. There are great amounts of energy bombarding your Earth at this time and everything is being greatly accelerated. NOW is the time for 'focus'. You who are the bridges between Heaven and Earth are the 'hands and feet' of the Command, so to speak. It is through you that much of our work is done. As I said, much has been accelerated and, although we wish you to remain in a state of joy and lightheartedness, it is now time to put your 'work' in its proper perspective and concentrate on the mission at hand. We are working very diligently to gather the Lightworkers together in order to prepare the general population for what is to come.
This means that each and every one of you are needed at this time to make a commitment in your own heart as to what role you will play in this. In other words, it is time to get serious. We are not asking you to give your lives over to the Ashtar Command exclusively, for you each have many missions and sub-missions that you are here to accomplish. What we are asking, however, is that for those of you who feel your connection to us to band together, so to speak, in order to establish and implement certain 'activities' towards the goals which have been set before us. You have shown that you can do this numerous times, such as in the planting of the crystals and the activation of the grid. This was an excellent example of the Unity we wish for you to achieve, and our heartfelt thanks go to all of you who have participated in this project. Rest assured there will be other projects we will ask you to work on. For the time being, we are asking you to continue in this Unity, and stay focused on the tasks at hand.
Do not let yourselves become 'bogged down' in the mundane affairs of your day-to-day activities. We wish for those of you who are aligned with the Command and its work to use this wonderful email forum to interact with each other in manifesting this bond of Unity. You are held within the gentle hand of All That Is and encircled with the energy of Unconditional Love of such depths that your present consciousness can not truly comprehend its magnitude. We of the Command and the Spiritual Hierarchy are working most diligently to help you and all mankind reach their full potential. As a 'return energy exchange', we ask each of you to now search your hearts and decide what it is that you are capable and willing to do in partnership with us. For you see, we are truly in a partnership in which each and every one must play their part. NOW is the time to begin. NOW is the time to decide your focus.
NOW is the time to dedicate yourselves to the work at hand. We need your hands, we need your feet, we need your voice, we ask your commitment. To paraphrase the words of The Most Radiant One, spoken so long ago, "it is time to be about the Father's business". There is no longer the luxury of time to be spent in petty pursuits, bickering, judgment, or anger. Your time, which we have worked towards for eons, is at hand. Know that, even though you may not see us in your skies, we are most definitely close to you, and send you our deepest blessings and love.
Your Friend and Brother,
Ashtar

THE ROLLING WORLD -
THE WAXING, FULL & WANING MOON - Represents the three phases of the Divine Feminine:-
MAIDEN, MOTHER, MADAME
An original and traditional British Isles & Celtic folk song celebrating Spring and Midsummer. This song reminds us of our
connection with the Earth, and our transformations within the cycles of the seasons. This recording is filled with joyful
lyrics of celebration and playful love.
THE ROLLING WORLD
by Ruth Barrett & Cyntia Smith
The Mother gives birth on night's longest hour,
With the frost aglow on the green.
The Child of Light is reborn as the sun
To renew us on our journey unseen.
All life in the earth begins to unfold
As the waxing light is seen.
Each seedling will sprout into its own self
To inspire us to be truly free.
(Refrain):
And like the rolling world
The Wheel of Life is a-turning
We weave the circle dance
Upon this rolling world of learning.
The Maiden returns in blossoms so new
To embrace her Mother in mirth.
And like children we play in the sweetness of day
And rejoice in Life's return to the earth.
The maypole is crowned with ribbons so bright
As lovers meet in desire.
Thru woodlands and meadows we laugh in the sun
And the Dance of Life grows wild in the fire.
The oak branch is placed in the bonfire's blaze
Their embrace dissolves into one.
Light triumphs this day, yet begins its decay
As the wheel turns we spin ever on.
The corn and the grain gleam ripe in the field
We have labored long in the soil
Now we wait as our days fade into night
Will we be rewarded well for our toil?
The harvest of plenty, we give thanks with joy
As leaves are blown from the trees
We gather to share in wonderment there
Of the Circle of Rebirth in the seed.
The Old Woman, she sits in front of the hearth,
She is wise and bids us come near
We may pass in between what is seen and unseen
For the veil of Death is nothing to fear.
Much love to you all

We Belong Together ^^
Many times I tried to tell
Many times I cried alone
Always I'm surprised how well you cut my feelings to the bone
Don't want to leave you really
I've invested too much time to give you up that easy
To the doubts that complicate your mind
We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together
Maybe it's a sign of weakness when I don't know what to say
Maybe I just wouldn't know what to do with my strength anyway
Have we become a habit? Do we distort the facts?
Now there's no looking forward
Now there's no turning back
When you say
We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together
Close your eyes and try to sleep now
Close your eyes and try to dream
Clear your mind and do your best to try and wash the palette clean
We can't begin to know it, how much we really care
I hear your voice inside me, I see your face everywhere
Still you say
We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together
We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together
We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder

We have the chance to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write
We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
This time, we know we all can stand together
With the power to be powerful
Believing we can make it better
Ooooh
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
Ooooh
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo

When the Starships Fly
Composed by
Griffin and Welch
There was a sad time 'fore I learned how to fly
Always falling to the ground
Then I heard voices calling far beyond the earth and sky
Saying soon they'd be coming around
When the starships fly
When the starships fly
Some lonely, windswept morning, a day just like today,
A sight that few have ever seen, will manifest in it's own way.
The birds will still be flying, but the works of darkness will fall,
In joy; neighbors crying,
And hearts will answer the call.
The grand pronouncements will lift us to a new high,
Magic spreading to every corner of sky,
When the Starships Fly
When the Starships Fly
Can you imagine the look on everyone's face,
When glory shines down on us,
From every corner of space, Millions have joined our vision
A re-united force, lending knowledge and power
Sent from the shining source.
The grand pronouncements will lift us to a new high,
Magic spreading to every corner of sky,
When the Starships Fly
When the Starships Fly
They fly!

Hey there dearest Lighty friends,
First song that popped into my head this morning (it's Thursday in Oz) was this one. No radio on, no telly - just a little ditty that's playing in my head over and over. Hope it resonates with you all - remember these guys??? KC and the Sunshine Band - don'tcha just love the name 'Sunshine Band'???. This cat's still in her pajamas and chair dancing around the living room. Seeing I can't dance whilst I'm on crutches heehee. Join me and enjoy doing some chair dancing too.
Much love to you all - hope you all have a great day no matter where you are

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,
drifting through the wind
wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
like a house of cards,
one blow from caving in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
6 feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

..COURTESY OF THE MARVELLOUS TIM BOOTH XXX....
Help comes when you need it most
I'm cured by laughter
Mood swings not sure I can cope
My life's in plaster
May your mind set you free
(chorus: opened by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on
May your mind let you see through all disasters
(chorus: opened by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on
These wounds are all self-imposed
Life's no disaster, disaster
All roads lead unto death-row
Who knows what comes after
May your mind be wide open
May your heart beat strong
May your mind's will be broken
By this heart-felt song
May your mind set you free
(Chorus: Be opened by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on
May your eyes let you see through all disasters
May your heart lead you on, lead you on
(Chorus: May your eyes be opened by the wonderful)
Set you free
(Chorus: May your heart lead you on)
Lead you on

I finally go the song link to work on my Profile page after two years. I put my latest song Mantra on there. It is also available at
www.carikindl.com
Thanks to everyone for the support and good energy. I was just mentioned in Social Hollywood Mag along with other indie artists that donated songs to the movie They Live Among Us. This is what it is all about, sharing and creating. It is NOT about the money even though we still use money to buy recording equipment and computers and electricity etc. We are all taken care of when we are doing what we love to do one way or another.
Excerpt:
"SHM: How do you go about selecting the music for the series? It seems to play an important role.
AL: I wanted to spotlight independent musicians and hope to do this in a more robust way with future episodes. I had several contact me and send a song in, and it was always so serendipitous how perfectly it would fit. We’ve used The Hushdown, Slant, Mike Peralta and Cari Kindl for credit roll.
In the bar scenes, the music tends to serve as a Greek chorus. I love that aspect of it. My DP, Mike Stanislawski, has great musical taste. I turn to him – it turns to gold."
Social Hollywood Magazine
Hollywood
Region near Los Angeles, named for the ranch that once stood there, which was named by Deida Wilcox. Once a quiet farming community, by 1910 barns were being converted into movie studios. The name was used generically for "American movies" from 1926, three years after the giant sign was set up, originally Hollywoodland, another real estate developer's promotion.

INDUSTRY NEWS / THE "TELLY"
Anne Lower Interview: Indie Spirit
by SOCIALWRITER_NICOLE on Feb 4, 2012 • 7:16 pm1 Comment
0digg
14Share
Anne Lower is on a mission. The L.A. based indie filmmaker is working furiously to finance her passion project, They Live Among Us. The first three episodes of this ambitious web series can be viewed on YouTube, and Lower’s quest has been chronicled athttp://theyliveamongus.com/.
My interview with her reveals an intelligent, funny, and tenacious woman, who knows what she wants, and will settle for nothing less.
SHM: How goes your never-ending hunt for financing?
AL: I just wrapped our IndieGoGo campaign for Episodes 4-6; we ran a bit short. There is still about 6k to go, so I’ll continue efforts. Once we launch 4-6 I am working with more traditional forms of financing through investment groups. Life is a never-ending adventure.
SHM: Are you any closer to filming the next three episodes?
AL: We begin photography on February 10th. I cannot wait to get back onto the set; now that we have established the world and those who live in it, the storyline begins to unfold. I’m referring to these three as “ Bloody. Sexy. Fun.” I hope the viewers agree. The cast and crew are anxious to get back into our playground as, obviously, am I.
SHM: Talk a little bit about what it was like filming the first three episodes on such a small budget (without permits, insurance, etc).
AL: It was interesting. That’s a word that we use in my family to put a positive spin on challenging circumstances, haha. There were times when it was liberating, in that scenes would simply happen. They would develop a life of their own, and we – myself, the cast, the crew – were there along for the ride. That is the drug of art and of creation. Being in the moment, the zone. It’s exhilarating. There were times when it was a little frightening. I had leased a warehouse, but the shoot was cut several hours short when the landlord returned early, drunk, high and with a heavy metal band – he had decided to throw an impromptu rave – and ejected us onto the streets after midnight in the garment district. We still had several hours worth of scenes to shoot. People were sleeping in the streets; the air stank of urine. It was a very emotionally dismal night for me. And there were times when it was frustrating. The Peg/Ted sequence suffered because radio towers blew out the lavalier (wireless mic) channels, so we had to move to boom. Kendra and David are both astounding actors; I did not want to disturb their process through amplification… but dialogue was terribly muted. “Fix it in post” is simply not an option. And yet, that poverty was also liberating, for it forces creative solutions. With a lot of money can come a lot of fat. I need much more money to do honor to this series, but I’m grateful to have been forced to think creatively.
SHM: Where did that budget come from for the first episodes — out of your pocket?
AL: I launched a Kickstarter campaign and raised just under 6k once fees were taken out, and threw an additional 6k of my own in. It wiped me out… but I was determined to see this project come to fruition.
SHM: How did you come up with the idea for a Tweetathon to gain funding, and did it work?
AL: A.D. Lane, a British indie filmmaker – @indywoodFILMS – had run a similar campaign that I watched. He went 92 hours or so – I ended up pulling 90 total, and ten days later, at the end of the campaign, another 42– and I thought that it was a great idea. At the same time, Jay Donovan of Office Hooky Chat – @ohchat – reached out wondering how he could help. I told him that I was going full Jerry Lewis for the campaign and pitched the Tweetathon to him. In the words of Quentin Tarantino, we had ourselves a Bingo. I raised a little over $12k, which left me with about $10k after the fees were applied.
SHM: Speaking of which, your video blogging during that tweet marathon was pretty entertaining. How important is it to keep a sense of humor amongst the chaos?
AL: Oh, it’s tantamount to survival. Not only in the Tweetathon, but in life. People – especially those with a robust viral presence – often take themselves way too seriously. They confuse viral celebrity with IRL (in real life). I can assure you that the two are not the same. Life is short and uncertain. It’s a much more adventuresome ride if you can laugh at yourself along the way, you know? I had fun making the vids – I would just pull them out of the air. They help keep me awake. I mean, seriously, Country Cousin It? What the hell was that? Jambi? Don CorleAnnie? And, of course, the infamous Headdesk. At least once a day I am reminded that the internet is forever.
SHM: The unconventional narrative of TLAU is refreshing. I love the fact that the first episode follows one guy, who would seemingly be the hero, only to veer off in an unexpected direction. Where would you like to see the series go, in terms of character/story arc.
AL: I used the first three episodes to establish the world and the characters within it. The next installment is where the story really takes off. The central thread is the gothic love tale between Caim and Serafina, and the two love triangles – one supernatural, one mortal – that they are ensnared in. But there are several other storylines that early on may not seem connected, but slowly they are woven into the central storyline. I’ve referred to TLAU as a rich tapestry, and indeed it is.
SHM: You’ve said this project is gothic romance meets urban horror meets film noir. What film/television/literature inspires you?
AL: I am a huge fan of classical literature; Shakespeare is a huge influence. I think if he were around today, he’d be writing features… and moving into new media. I love how Hamlet is a masterpiece…and yet, it’s really soap opera. A family drama, like Dynasty, just with a much better plot and elevated language.
I love Homer, as well as the Greek playwrights. I prefer Euripides, because I believe that he wrote women well. Aphra Ben. The modern scribes for the stage: Sam Shepard, Tennessee Williams, William Inge, Suzan Lori Parks, to name just a smattering.
Stephen King is an extraordinary writer; his stories are classic examples of ordinary men and women under extraordinary circumstances. Jane Austen’s prose is like the iron fist in the velvet glove. Anais Nin for her lyricism. Tom Wolfe, Harper Lee and Mark Twain for musical voices. All so beautiful.
In film, I’m all over the map. Love old Hollywood; I’m mad about great silent films like WIND, METROPOLIS and LE PASSION DE JEANNE D’ARC. I love the French New Wave cinema and the mumblecore movement, including today’s. I also love big studio blockbusters.
Some films that really stick out to me for visual storytelling are JU DOU, RAN, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, VERTIGO, THERE WILL BE BLOOD, FARGO… ah, the list is endless. Anything Hitchcock touched.
…and today’s crop of indie filmmakers. I love the work of women like Kimberly Pearce, Debra Granik and Lisa Cholodenko. They are paving the way for femme film.
SHM: How do you go about selecting the music for the series? It seems to play an important role.
AL: I wanted to spotlight independent musicians and hope to do this in a more robust way with future episodes. I had several contact me and send a song in, and it was always so serendipitous how perfectly it would fit. We’ve used The Hushdown, Slant, Mike Peralta and Cari Kindl for credit roll.
In the bar scenes, the music tends to serve as a Greek chorus. I love that aspect of it. My DP, Mike Stanislawski, has great musical taste. I turn to him – it turns to gold.
SHM: There seems to be a theme involving the exploitation of women. Could you talk a bit about that?
AL: I’ve been an advocate for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault for over a decade; it’s part of my journey as a survivor of sexual assault as a child. There’s been way too much non-disclosure in this arena, so I am determined to keep the conversation alive, even if it means putting myself out there. People need to be allowed to talk about it. They need to know that the trauma inflicted upon them was not their fault, not for one second.
Serafina’s backstory is an all too common tragedy. Raped as a child, left without the support and resources to help her cope with her trauma, she became a runaway, living on the streets of Los Angeles, before turning to prostitution as a means of support. People are really shocked by the brutality of her relationship with Rocco… but I find it painfully real. Violence and abuse are all she knows.
The thread of the flesh-eaters is borne directly from my experiences as an actress in Hollywood. The marginalization and treatment of women is appalling – even today. We are seen as commodities; our worth, our value is not measured by our minds, our hearts and souls, but by our bodies and how we rate on the “hawt-o-meter.” It’s a naked and frightening feeling, to be consumed in such a manner. That’s where the audition scene in Episode 3 came from.
SHM: As an indie filmmaker, and a woman to boot, what kind of resistance do you come up against in Hollywood?
AL: I think the primary way is through limitations. The attitude is often “don’t worry your pretty little head, go write/direct/produce wish-fulfillment movies and you’ll be fine.” Well, I don’t write wish-fulfillment. I’m a dynamic individual; I hunger to constantly grow, and to expand my knowledge. I look at life as a never-ending learning process and really detest being pigeon-holed in any way, shape, or form.
I want to write action and I want to direct it. Finally, women such as Katherine Bigelow have opened up those doors, but I have to fight tooth and nail just to get a meeting. This is why I launched this series. I decided to make my own life happen instead of placing it in the hands of others. If life is an aircraft, I prefer to be a pilot instead of a passenger.
SHM: What can people do to help make more episodes happen?
AL: Give me your beer money. I’m still fundraising for the next three installments directly on my site:http://theyliveamongus.com/support/ $10 can go a long way to helping close the gap. I had over 12,000 people visit my IndieGoGo campaign. If 1/3 of them had given $10, we’d be funded for many episodes!
If you are a filmmaker and live in LA, consider donating by volunteering on production or in post.
And, of course, spread the word! View the Episodes, follow @TLAUMovie on Twitter and share, share, share. We have some very neat things that are going on in the background, but to make them happen, we need to see our viewing metrics and followers go up. We are committed to providing engaging, thought-provoking and entertaining content for free – but in order to do that, we need the public’s support. At the end of the day, it is the audience that will determine how far we continue. My vision is two years of programming with a feature. I’d love to see that happen. That’s a goal worth achieving.

“Everything must change, nothing stays the same….” 'These words from The Herd’s lastest album 'Future Shade' seem even more fitting now. Never the ones to be caught standing still, the continuous musical evolution of this collective rings loudly in their latest offering Future Shade. Their music captures the conscious concensus and takes it to the mainstream populace.' (Cameron Elliot - Music Critic).

Greetings beloved souls
As you may know, light work is also done at home, to our loved ones, to ourselves. In order for us to serve in a better state of mind, emotion and spirit, it is important to spend time with "Self" first.
When working and facing all type of energies, the body goes through unbalance and physical issues appear. For this we must take time alone reconnecting with Self, giving Self, loving Self and appreciate such sacred moment of your existence, Honoring yourself as divine presence of Creator!!!
Spend more time with your loved ones, cherish these moments, even simple moments where you can be together, listen to each other, share moments, go out if you can, a park, a beach or any other place you can. Read, listen to music, have a special moment to connect with friends and invite them over for tea or coffee.
Create your own personal rituals, choose candles, oils, incenses, flowers, wing schemes, burn herbs, and sit where you feel is the perfect place filled with silence and make the moment sacred for you.
Don't forget music if you desire, some people prefer complete silence. This way will help you to connect back, to heal and to gain loving and clean energy from Creator by searching within Self!!!!!
Enjoy each moment for YOU!! Make it a healthy habit to create, heal and meditate. Laughing should be added in your healing moments, with loved ones, friends and self.
Have a good night to all and happy sacred moments!!!!
Blessings of love!!!

Lyrics:
Hook: Peace, love, truth, freedom, that's all that I want, that's all I believe in
Verse 1:
I really don't know it all, I never will claim to,
just a few ideas that i wanna explain you,
take you on a journey thru the doors of your mind,
open your eyes, see what more you can find,
I don't want much in life, I'm a simple man,
but there's one dream i have, here's my simple plan,
it wont take much, in fact it takes less,
just stop what your doing, take a breath, de-stress,
we were born to fly but we're living in an Avery,
we get paid but this system is slavery,
taxed when you earn, taxed when you spend,
now they're making cut backs, how can we pretend
that we're happy with a system, that don't seem to function?
roll your decision dice, we're sitting at a junction,
but what can you do? that's victim mentality,
stand on your own 2(feet), lets change this reality
Hook
Verse 2:
If energy was free, then who would suppress it?
oil companies would, super aggressive,
they got us plugged in so they hold the power,
and the price keeps rising higer by the hour,
imagine they invent a device with no meter,
that could pluck energy from the air like Eureka!
they already have, it already been destroyed,
if you want the full story Nikki Tesla is ya boy!,
if cancer had a natural cure who'd suppress it?
the ones who make money from drugs, yeah you guessed it!
cos naturally occurring cures they can't patent,
so they synthesize a drug to sell, its so blatant
that give you side effects so they can sell you another pill,
now your really sick plus you gotta pay another bill,
if you ever need the cure, the tree is called the sour sop (Graviola),
the future's in our hands its time to take the power back,
hook
Charlie Chaplin sample
Verse 3:
Our governments are war criminals we all know the truth,
ain't enough lines in this song to go thru the proof,
invaded Iraq with fabricated evidence,
killed Dr. Kelly, been killing Iraqis ever since,
but what I wanna talk about is those that did the killing,
never stopped to question, follow orders, always willing,
while corporations made their money from the oil drilling,
we call the army 'hero's' while civilian blood is spilling,
if I was prime minister, no guns would exist,
no defence spending, we'd be neutral like the Swiss,
yeah we'd lose the jobs of those that profit from the war,
but I'd redeploy their 'talent', they could help to feed the poor
with all the money saved we could retire at 50!,
now I've said this, i know that your all with me,
but i don't want power all i really want is peace,
and we all have the power to make the killing cease.

Oh Father I am sitting on the edge. The DNA activated, crystal change ahead. The Crane of light flies so high, well over head. For the living and for the living dead. Don’t be afraid, faith and love reigns, your universe filled with joy and pain, expect your paradigm to change.
Why Mother, I am falling off my cliff, in an ugly world that I created. You can run to fear or love, its up to you, all roads lead to the same destination truth. Rite of passage we have chosen, our parents believe in our truth, you can run to fear or love. Rite of passage we have chosen, our parents believe in our truth, you can run to fear or love
Oh my brother carries the hatchet cutting through loves mud, flying with the crane in the heavens up above, a dragons child, gods sweet breathe truth loves consequence our family of light sitting watching us as we fall.
Souls growth impossible without pain, pain impossible with out love, for our souls and gods sweet blood.
Souls growth impossible without pain, pain impossible with out love, for our souls and gods sweet blood.
Oh Sister how much do I think of you. Parents of this child standing under you. You have always sang of love pinions so true. Our rite of passage until we return to you. Souls growth impossible without pain, pain impossible with out love, for our souls and gods sweet blood.
We are the Crane, we are the blood of God, which is love. Like the universe, 52 trillions stars vibrating at their own special frequency to house the soul of god, our cells, at 52 trillion of them each vibrating at their own special to house your soul. We are made in the image of the universe. Like the leaves of the tree reflect the tree in which it comes, we are reflections of our truth. I hope you enjoy the song I have written, performed by my band Northsound. Your band. Peace and love.

The clue "don't stop" was handed down to me for my morning music. SOMEONE whispered it in my ear.
(seems like a message from my beloved EROS/Emanu'el since I'm "just a small town girl.")
He has given me music almost every morning for several years now and I never get tired of it.
There are always special messages in the songs he chooses.
Searching YouTube for "don't stop" brought up this SUPERB PERFORMANCE:
"Don't Stop Believing" - Glee - cover
http://youtu.be/xIoSTbPt_PI
I just realized something. It's another "Hold On" message from my Divine Husband. He gave me the same message yesterday with a different song. The lyrics here are reminding people that we still need to "hold on"...keep believing, keep the faith, stay in trust.
Here are the lyrics - I think it's a message for us all.
Don't Stop Believin' lyrics
Songwriters: Schon, Neal; Cain, Jonathan; Perry, Steve;
Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smoky room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night
Working hard to get my fill
[| From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/j/journey-lyrics/don_t-stop-believin_-lyrics.html |]
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlight people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people

This is another song that was handed down to me for today. It was the second song when I searched on the clues, "Sit tight, stay pretty," lol.
It has a really nice, sweet message. So don't forget: We're living a "charmed life!" Just look around you. There is magic everywhere! We are where we're supposed to be. We are HOME. At least that's my "take home" message from this song.
What does it mean to you?
Joy Williams - Charmed Life (1x4 Pretty Little Liars)
http://youtu.be/nOL4qsFzZbQ
Lyrics:
Just sit tight, Don't you even think about going anywhere
Stay where you are, Open up your eyes to what's all already there
What I'm about to tell ya, What I'm about to say
Don't even let it throw ya,
It just might change your day.
We're living in a charmed life, charmed life
You and I, a charmed life
ohh ho oh ho ohh
There's a well-lit sky hanging over everyone that's walking by
It's plain to see what we got is color in a world of black and white
Don't even let it fool ya, We got everything we need
Don't even let it throw ya, I know it's hard to believe
We're living in a charmed life, charmed life
You and I, a charmed life
ohhhh ohh ohhh
It's easier said than done, it's true, it's true
But count your kisses one by one, we're living proof, we're living a..
Charmed life, charmed life
You and I, a charmed life, ohhhh ohhh
Charmed life, charmed life
You and I, a charmed life, ohh
Just sit tight, Don't you even think about going anywhere

A zombie ran into me yesterday. I can't get into the story of it, but this guy was in that "in between" stage - you know, like still lucid, but over the edge. I thought the movies about Zombies were just someone's wild imagination; now I'm not sure.
Wow, makes me wonder what's in store. So I begged Emanu'el/Eros (my Divine Partner) can we please hurry with manifesting some money and such so that I can get what I need to finish my mission and then get the heck off this planet. He reminded me that he has to follow the rules and there is only so much he can do.
He told me, "Hold on" which is a song to look up on YouTube since he put it in parenthesis. So here it is!
I thought maybe the world might benefit from this song, which is why I am posting it. We just have to HOLD ON! Everything's going to be GREAT! TRUST, FAITH, PATIENCE....
Oh, and be sure to test those spirits before you communicate with them like it says in the Bible:
"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." 1 John 4:1

It is very true that Pleiadian men honor and love their women. None of the patriarch stuff for them! They have their women figured out and they are totally devoted. This is not stereotyping; it is our culture. We have total equality and there are no -isms. Likewise, Pleiadian women totally honor and respect - and of course, deeply love their men. We love romance, even extreme romance because we are all secure about our identities.
I dedicate this song to my beloved Emanu'el/EROS and in behalf of the Pleiadian people to their beloved Lovers.

Was drawn to this song today. It put me in mind of one lovely lightworker after another. This site is filled with beauty of femininity. Rather than post this to a dozen or more guestbooks, I thought I would put it here.
I imagine a healthy, whole female, meditating in the middle of the mayhem of modern life. A refuge, a light, a woman of completeness.
I do dig you chicks! Deep bow, Namaste. You lift me up.

Allow me to begin by stating that as I do believe in the existence and mutual use of the same Source Field of energy, the Quantum Ocean, the MoG(MindofGod[dess]), I do not support the concept of intellectual property. I do respect all laws regarding it, however I share and collaborate freely with what would be considered by some to be "my" intellectual property. This isn't that strange of an idea. Many cultures harbor the idea that music is in existence elsewhere and is brought into this dimension through the efforts of individuals, that no song is written but rather learned, gleaned, intuited.
I. Song idea: "She/He/It/We Does/Do"
The idea here is that regardless of how one views/interprets the divine, if all are one then what one of us does, all of us do. The butterfly effect is absolutely accurate and real. No energy or motion is ever not connected to, not influenced by, or not in the process of influencing everything else. Please comment, please discuss, please use it, borrow it, "steal" it, just return to me with what you make of it. I may ask your permission to utilize it in "my own" work, but never for profit.
I promised myself that this year, 2012, I would actually begin publishing the music and linguistic artwork I have been crafting for years and never outwardly sharing. I also promised myself that it would all be available freely to share with everyone who could possibly want.
II. "I saw eyes blocking my way.
I retreated but ventured out again, seeing loving eyes.
Realizing that they were simply a part of all,
all are one,
I accepted their ability to change
and lovingly stepped out past them
to BEyond."
III. Speed=distance/time.
Time=rate of perceived change.
Speed does not exist, therefore, without time. Quantum mechanics for this universe exist within as well as outside of the dimension and limitations of time.
Anything existing outside of the dimension of time would therefore be perceived by those within the dimension of time as omnipresent.
Indeed anything outside time is.
IV. Idea: People's Education Network.
"Never underestimate the power of the pen."
In honor of the SOPA/PIPA issues of late, I propose an online information sharing site where people can share their experiences and particularly their knowledge and expertise with others on any subject they deem interesting. Catalog the entries so that people can search either by posting date, subject keywords, or authors. Kind of like wikipedia, but allow for links to instructional/educational web-videos (ex: hosted on youtube) if not directly post the videos on the site itself, which of course would be preferable. It diversifies the sources of information from just facebook, wikipedia, google, and youtube. Those seem to have very little in the way of personal freedom, and they have a TERRIBLE amount of business advertisements. This would have to be an advertisement-free web-network and resource. I want only the people to be able to post content. No marketing, no attacking or manipulating people's brains.
Also a great way to teach language, share art, discuss current events, plan events, organize into volunteer/work groups, etc. Think of it as a subjective form of wikipedia.

A work of art that makes you "see" sounds on a steel pan? -- Rainbow ver. -- Otona no Kagaku magazine with KIDS
This movie was taken during the photo shooting for "Otona no Kagaku Magazine with Kids / Kaleidoscope of Sounds issue", a magazines with giveaways. This shows the art performance by Mr. Kenichi Kanazawa who sublimated the method of making sounds visible, invented by Ernst Chladni -- a physicist of 18-19 century, to a work of art in his unique style. After placing 4-colored sand on a steel pan, he rubs the surface of a pan with a rubber ball attached to the tip of metal stick to generate the vibration.
