Paul Simon - amazing

I'm sitting at work. Did so much today. Welcomed new people, wrote about the importance of prayer, got 50's mics in the mail, sent thank yous to fabulous people that perform in the coffee shop, and I get an email from CRWRC

an excercise

close my eyes for 60 seconds
while thinking of the word poverty
and write 7 words that come to mind...

and then a paul simon songs come on the radio
and I cry.

Another Galaxy
Paul Simon

On the morning of her wedding day
When no one was awake
She drove across the border
Leaving all the yellow roses on her wedding cake
Her mother's tears, her breakfast orderShe's gone, gone, gone

There is a moment, a chip in time
When leaving home is the lesser crime
When your eyes are blind with tears
But your heart can seeA
nother life, another galaxy

That night her dreams are storm-tossed as a willow
She hears the clouds
She sees the eye of a hurricane
As it sweeps across her island pillow
But she's gone, gone, goneT

here is a moment, a chip in time
When leaving home is the lesser crime
When your eyes are blind with tears
But your heart can seeA
nother life, another galaxy


sigh....


Today is just one of those days. Of Clarity. Peace. Presence. Potential.
