Vibrations of Life

"Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity." ~Edwin H. Chapin

All that you do during the day has a reverberating impact on people around you. Like a pebble dropped in the water, the ripples flow out in ever increasing circles.

Make those vibrations of life count for something. Make them be a positive force in the lives of others.

Stay inspired my friends!

Rain on Me

“The rain to the wind said, you push and I'll pelt. They so smote the garden bed, that the flowers actually knelt, and lay lodged--though not dead. I know how the flowers felt.” ― Robert Frost

As we go through our crisis, that love will reign over all we are going through. As writer of this song, Peter Townshend explained, the song refers to the comment that rain was a blessing from God; that thunder was God's Voice. Of course there is more to this song in the context of the autobiographical album.

While many grieve today, or waging battle of many kinds, remember the cool, cool rain.

Stay inspired my friends.

"Love, Reign O'er Me"

Only love can make it rain

The way the beach is kissed by the sea

Only love can make it rain

Like the sweat of lovers layin' in the fields

Love, reign o'er me

Love, reign o'er me

Rain on me, rain on me

Only love can bring the rain

That makes you yearn to the sky

Only love can bring the rain

That falls like tears from on high

Love, reign o'er me

Rain on me, rain on me

Love, reign o'er me

Rain on me, rain on me

On the dry and dusty road

The nights we spend apart alone

I need to get back home to cool, cool rain

I can't sleep, and I lay, and I think

The night is hot and black as ink

Oh God, I need a drink of cool, cool rain

Love, reign o'er me

Reign o'er me, o'er me, o'er me

Love, reign o'er me, o'er me

Love

Blink of an Eye

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a smile.” - Bernard Kelvin Clive

In the blink of an eye, a child is born, raised and gone from our home.

In the blink of an eye, a sun rises and sets on a day.

In the blink of an eye, each moment of our life passes.

In that blink of an eye was the life of a friend who passed away very recently. A life cut short, but not overshadowed by his greatness. The current pain of loss is hard but will ease with time as wonderful memories take hold within our hearts.

In the blink of an eye, Bill Rowlett.

In that blink of an eye, Bill would smile and give you one of his uncompromising hugs. It was always sincere and filled with love for the person on the receiving end. Life was better after each and every encounter with Bill. My life is better for having been around him.

In the blink of an eye, there will be no more smiles, no more hugs.

In the blink of an eye, Bill taught me kindness and happiness that will last forever inside each of us.

In the blink of an eye, my friend Bill, a friend to everyone as a matter of fact, remains with us in the memories we carry. He remains through the eyes of his wife Luanne, children and future generations. He remains in our hearts because of that blink of an eye we got to share with him.

In the blink of an eye he was here, but in each blink he will always be here.

Sound and Rhythm

"The water as life continually crashes into the shore. All you have to do is adjust to its sound and rhythm." - Joseph Primm

Everyday that goes by is an opportunity to enjoy life regardless of your circumstance. It doesn't mean you have to be satisfied with that circumstance. But why not choose to be happy in the current?

If you spend your day complaining about all that is wrong in your life, there will be very little time left to work on moving towards what is right with your life. Moving your energy from being unhappy today will allow your day to be a great day.

It is said that being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means you have decided to look beyond the imperfections. It means we adjust to its sound and rhythm.
