WHY DO WE WRITE SONGS?
They are the language we use to share our deepest emotions! When feelings are just too big for ordinary words! Maybe you feel like an eagle flying over the forest below? Try putting that into words!
A SONG IS A POEM OF SPECIAL
THOUGHTS WRAPPED IN MUSIC!

MUSIC FROM
THE SOUL
(Arranged by the 'hit man', the best ever, David Foster)
Unlike a song, a poem has no musicians or instruments so the music has to be in the words. They have to be shaped in a way that wakes up the musicians inside us and they play the music with the instruments of everything we are, our whole beings, our hearts our minds and our souls. We read the words, and how we respond and let them mold us, that's the music. They are word-songs.
AND WHAT DOES SCIENCE SAY
ABOUT US AND MUSIC?
Albert Einstein said:
"...we are souls dressed up in sacred bio-chemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music."
So according to this genius of physics who was also a very spiritual man, we have non-physical souls writing the music and our physical lives are the words. For us, maybe life is about learning to listen so we can write good lives to go along with the music of our souls. Our souls are like our own personal David Fosters ready to help arrange our lives into very special hit songs.
WE ARE PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL AT THE SAME TIME AND OUR LIVES HERE ARE JUST ONE SHORT JOURNEY WITH MORE LATER!
Like the monarch butterfly, we first sing songs on the earth and after we die, we sing songs in the sky. And how we sing our lives now gets us ready for later.
SO WHAT'S ALL THIS ABOUT? LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Nothing lives without love. During my ten-year mystic period back in the 70s, my inner Spirit wrote 226 verses, like little pieces of what was happening inside as I was developing my spirituality. I was in love with God, not some bearded senior citizen but the God who invented butterflies, love, quantum physics. time and gravity - eternity's CEO, and these were the result. AND WHY SHOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT THEM? BECAUSE THEY WILL BRING YOU LOVE AND FEED YOUR SOUL.
SO THINK OF THESE POEMS AS HUGS FROM MY SOUL TO YOURS, maybe to help wake up your mind as they did mine. Both Jesus and Einstein said God is not a person but a FORCE. And what is that? THEY BOTH SAID GOD IS LOVE and Jesus went another step and said those who live in love live in God and God in them. Everything needs love so and this would mean everything needs God.
AND SPEAKING OF WORD-SONGS, OUR COUNTRY IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LOVE SONGS EVER WRITTEN! It was composed by my favorite song writer, the CEO of Eternity where our souls come from, the Force that existed before the universe, before night and day, before up and down. Our beautiful planet and all its life are songs without words we see, hear, and feel with the eyes, ears and heart of our souls.
EVERYTHING CAME FROM LOVE and for all of us here, life is all about finding love because that is the only fuel for our journeys home after we die. SO FOR ALL OF US HERE, WE HAVE TO BECOME A WORLD-TEAM SPEAKING THE SAME LANGUAGE!
FROM HUMANS TO WHALES AND KITTENS
everything needs love. And if God is love, this means everything needs God. So remember -
GOD CAN'T RUN OUT!
And we can never get too much love!
Thank you for letting me share my soul's love with you!
