In quest of seeing things the way the really are…….  words to touch the soul.

For Lisa & Josh,

Some choose to fall behind
Some choose to lead
Some choose a golden path
Laden with greed
But it’s the noble heart
That makes you strong
And in that heart, I'm with you all along...

The olde village lanterne
Is calling me onward
Leading wherever I roam
The olde village lanterne
A light in the dark
Bringing me closer to home...

So when you think of me
Do so with pride
Honor and bravery
Ruled by my side
And in your memory
I will remain
I will forever be within the flame...

Now at the journey's end
We've traveled far
And all we have to show
Are battle scars
But in the love we shared
We will transcend
And in that love, our journey never ends...

Ritchie Blackmore 
Blackmore's Night

 

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
Its not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that therell be
No more turning away?

David Gilmor (On the turning away)

 

The deeper reality is not that you have a soul but that in your essential nature, you are a soul.

Rabbi Yechezkel Levenstein

We were talking-about the space between us all. And the people-who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion. Never glimpse the truth – then it's far too late - when they pass away. We were talking about the love we all could share - when we find it to try our best to hold it there - with our love.

With our love-we could save the world- if they only knew. Try to realize it's all within yourself - no-one else can make you change. And to see you're really only very small and life flows within you and without you.

The Beatles (George Harrison)

"…this world could be heaven for everyone.This world could be fed, this world could be fun.This should be love for everyone… This world should be free, this world could be one. We should bring love to our daughters and sons.....love, love, love, this could be heaven for everyone.

Listen – what people do to other souls.They take their lives – destroy their goals Their basic pride and dignity Is stripped and torn and shown no pity when this should be 
heaven for everyone.

Roger Taylor & Queen 

“The soul’s dross can not be cast off in the course of one lifetime. It must pass through many bodies and experience many terrestrial existences each one higher than the other, before it can reach the pinnacle of perfection – union with G-d. – which is its predestined end.”

Dr. J. Abelson

The more sensitive we become in our life, the more we experience the power that simple destructive acts have to disturb our inner harmony, and the more we become attuned to the true meaning of  the interrelationship of everything in the universe.

Rabbi David A.Cooper

There's nothing you can do that can't be done... nothing you can sing that can't be sung ....nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.... It's easy There's nothing you can make that can't me made ...No one you can save that can't be saved ....Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time ....It's easy ……All you need is love

The Beatles (John Lennon)

Too much love will kill you - if you can’t make your mind.... Torn between the lover and the love you leave behind....Your headed for disaster – ‘cos you never read the signs.

Too much love will kill you everytime…..

Queen

Come with me, close your eyes… hold my hand, it will be alright. Don’t be scared, don’t be shy. Lift your head it’s gonna be alright.

Phil Collins

I’ll try to make the sun shine brighter for you I will even play the fool if it makes you smile I’ll try to make you laugh if there’s a tear in your eye.... after all is said....after all is done I’d  do anything for you

Phil Collins

Well, Ive been afraid of changing cause I've built my life around you........But time makes you bolder Children get older Im getting older too......

Fleetwood Mac

 

The knowledge of an effect depends on and involves the knowledge of  a cause.

Baruch Spinoza

 

Every person has the power within himself to rectify all of the forces that are joined to his/her physical being.

Rabbi Yisrael Salanter

 
"First they came for the communists but I was not a communist so I kept quiet.  Then they came for the socialists and the trade unionists but I was neither, so I did not speak out.  Then they came for the Jews, but  I was not a Jew, so I did not speak out.  And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me."

Martin Niemoller, after being released from Dachau, 1945
