Do you know what I mean some lyrics and some comments smile

The Choice is Ours (and Mine)—The Pandemic Building Blocks

Well the world spins in a wobbly spiral

COVID -19  well it’s gone viral

So we can’t haunt the same old places

See all the familiar faces

Some valued  routines? Many they have failed

the normal ship well it has sailed

Some will thrive some will be frozen

As light shines on the paths we’ve chosen 

Chorus

As we explore new social distance

Will we accept acceptance and resist resistance? seek  acceptance  find some  resistance

Will we smile more or shall we swear?

Will your neighbors know that you still care?are

You’ll find some strength and yet. Feel strange

Become  aware of. How you’ll change

Let the past just pass  let today begin 

Get to know the glow each  holds within

Chorus

We have some time we can’t refuse it

We have a choice how will we use it?

Will  we choose to stay asleep  or come awake

Learn to give or take and take

The Choice is ours

The choice is ours

The choice is ours

The Choice it’s ours

These are more or less the lyrics to the song that was yesterday’s post.  I have had an occasional complaint that. My lyrics don’t. Exactly match  the words I sing—well I’d like to say that the music moves. Me to create on the fly or I’m changing the pace of the  song so the words  need to fit differently, however, truth be told.my minds drifts as I list3en rot the astounds xcoming from the guitar and sometimes I just plain forget.  

Also as long as I’m going there....

 A few people in the past have graciously pointed out I have a lot of spelling and grammar  issues in  this blog.  well I write as the spirit moves me and help to convey.thoughts and invite ideas.  I’ve never been one to criticize anyone’s English as along as  the idea comes crying through.  Why do I take this view?

I’ve read parts of a dictionary.  I’ll invite you to start at the top of any page and read. it out loud to your  kids or friends or in a romantic  way to your sweetheart.  How do you think that’s going to. Bo?  None of ther words on those pages are spelled wrong and the punctuation is perfect.  Yet there’s no plot, no message, it doesn’t even have a beat and you can’t dance to it.  It provides some meanings that fall outsider the confines of a narrative.  However, let’s take the word computer.  Nearly all of us know what a computer is... and yet in 1952, the entry in the dictionary.defines the term as “one who computes.” 

So you say... it’s not the individual words that bring meaning—Bingo!  And so it is with seeking peace and joy...it’s. Not the individual quest that matters.  As we move out of pandemic mode, look to how your connections to others may need modified, rekindled, or allowed to fall away.  Be willing to stay awake.  

And at the risk of putting you to sleep I’ll wrap this up

Peace and Joy
