My words are like a ship, and the sea is their meaning.
Come to me and I will take you to the depths of spirit.

The river is flowing
Flowing and growing
The river is flowing
Back to the sea
Mother, carry me,
The child that i'll always be
Mother, carry me
Back to the sea
The river is flowing
Back to the sea
Mother, carry me,
The child that i'll always be
Mother, carry me
Back to the sea

Play a wish
There is something innocent and magical about making a wish, something that recalls the energy of childhood.
Wishing is not about formulating a plan and following it step by step to attain a goal, which is the realm of adulthood.
Wishing is more like a playful volley across the universe, an invitation to play. Waiting for the response is an integral part of the process.
Wishing inspires an innocent opening to the possibility of magic as we wait to see if the invisible realm will bring our wish to life.
This opening is a beautiful gesture in and of itself, regardless of the outcome.
We place ourselves in a magical mind, and this mind is arguably as wonderful as the fulfillment of our wish itself.

Everything at once
As sly as a fox, as strong as an ox
As fast as a hare, as brave as a bear
As free as a bird, as mean as a word
As quiet as a mouse, as big as a house
Oh oh oh I wanna be
Oh oh oh ohhhhh I wanna be
Oh oh oh ohhhhh all I wanna be
Is everything
As mean as a wolf, as sharp as a tooth
As deep as a bite, as dark as the night
As sweet as a song, as right as a wrong
As long as a road, as ugly as a toad
As pretty as a picture hanging from a fixture
Strong like a family, strong as I wanna be
Bright as day, as light as play
As hard as nails, as grand as a whale
Oh oh oh I wanna be
Oh oh oh ohhhhh I wanna be
Oh oh oh ohhhhh all I wanna be
Is everything
Everything at once
Everything at once
Oh everything at once
As long as the sun, as silly as fun
As cool as a tree, as scary as the sea
As hot as fire, cold as ice
Sweet as sugar and everything nice
As old as time, as straight as a line
As royal as a queen, as buzzed as a bee
As stealth as a tiger, smooth as a glider
Pure as a melody, pure as I wanna be
Oh oh oh I wanna be
Oh oh oh ohhhhh I wanna be
Oh oh oh ohhhhh I wanna be
Is everything
Everything at once

Do you see the wonder?
I also thought Santa is just an invention.
Well, of course, some of us, the 'adults' I mean, like to be romantic and we pretend we still beleive in Santa, hoping the magic will happen, eventually.
Or otherwise, we will make it happen, right ? We are grown-ups.
But what happened last evening made me feel like i am a big fake.
I was in this book shop, not a large place, people looking for their books or presents. When i entered, right on the left side, i noticed the big bunch of books, 'christmas-tree' shaped. I said to myself: "oh, what a cool idea to have a 'christmas-tree' shaped bunch of books in a book store. And i moved on, into the store.
At some point, i heard a child voice: he was starting to sing some carols. And in my head i was thinking: "most probably the book store guys told him he will receive a present if he sings a carol".
But no.
When i looked over the shelves, to the voice direction, i was surprised: this lil fellow, 5 y.o., sitting on his knees, in front of a Santa doll, singing this carol to Santa, AS IF the doll was the REAL Santa!!!
And he was so absorbed by his song and the Santa's doll, that his father couldn't pull him out of the store.
So, tell me now: who is the great pretender here?
And I haven't even noticed Santa's doll at the entrance, next to the 'christmas-tree' bunch of books, when i entered the shop.
This makes me think: we only see what we want to see and we only believe what we allow ourselves to believe in...

Unconditional love
They say God will love you, if:
you are good
you are generous
you are humble
you are honest
you are virtuous
you are praying
you are confessing
And so many other "IF"s
My heart tells me God is already loving me.
Unconditionally
you are good
you are generous
you are humble
you are honest
you are virtuous
you are praying
you are confessing
And so many other "IF"s
My heart tells me God is already loving me.
Unconditionally
Love Supreme
Oh it seemed forever stopped today
All the lonely hearts in London
Caught a plane and flew away
And all the best women are married
All the handsome men are gay
You feel deprived
Yeah are you questioning your size?
Is there a tumour in your humour,
Are there bags under your eyes?
Do you leave dents where you sit,
Are you getting on a bit?
Will you survive
You must survive
When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme
A love supreme
Oh what are you really looking for?
Another partner in your life to
abuse and to adore?
Is it lovey dovey stuff,
Do you need a bit of rough?
Get on your knees
Yeah turn down the love songs that you hear
'Cause you can't avoid the sentiment
That echoes in your ear
Saying love will stop the pain
Saying love will kill the fear
Do you believe
You must believe
When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme
A love supreme
I spy with my little eye
Something beginning with (ah)
Got my back up
And now she's screaming
So I've got to turn the track up
Sit back and watch the royalties stack up
I know this girl she likes to switch teams
And I'm a fiend but I'm living for a love supreme
When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme
A love supreme
Come and live a love supreme
Don't let it get you down
Everybody lives for love
All the lonely hearts in London
Caught a plane and flew away
And all the best women are married
All the handsome men are gay
You feel deprived
Yeah are you questioning your size?
Is there a tumour in your humour,
Are there bags under your eyes?
Do you leave dents where you sit,
Are you getting on a bit?
Will you survive
You must survive
When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme

Oh what are you really looking for?

abuse and to adore?
