Stripping Down
Joy and I have been discussing ‘truth’. I say it is relative. She, being more one-minded and slightly more pure at heart says it is absolute (although, I don’t want to put words in her mouth). We like to check out Rob at freewillastrology.com to catch the drift of things. So, this song is for […]

August’s Lament Related
Encourage me toward propensity Remind today of life’s ungency Dissolve from me procrastination Ice my cake with inspiration Belief in myself, no holding back Of nothing important let me lack Courage and note of obliviousness Feed my ability to fully express To share with you my family And lovers and friends who true magic breed But loved ones […]
The Enigma of Happiness
We want to be happy. Are you? What makes happiness so elusive? Is it for others only? Lucky ones? Strong ones? Selfish ones? Is it someone else’s fault if we are not? So often we find ourselves in a close relationship with others. It is human. It is popular. It can be wonderful. It can […]
Staying Focused
I have quite a few thoughts to post. I am behind. For now, before I catch up, I will keep true to this blogs name, “Lyrical Life”. What would we do without the Moody Blues? Let this set of lyrics be a lead in to thoughts on keeping focused on your true life’s course, whatever that […]
There’s magic in your brain
Just by reading these words your brain is performing the most amazing magic: translating these squiggly lines into words that convey meaning. What an awesome invention writing is! How did those cavemen get along without it? And would their brains have performed the same magic if they had the opportunity? You’ve probably seen another neat […]

I received this picture in an email claiming that the direction that you see the girl spinning indicates which side of the brain you are using. Clockwise means right brain and counterclockwise means left brain. It’s common knowledge that various functions of your brain are carried out by the different sides, based on how it […]

Manifesting is too hard!
Joy to Steve: http://www.supermanifestor.com/ Steve to Joy: Again, it is too much to read. I get the impression that it is so much like all the other secrets revealed for a price. Sounds good but I don’t have enough interest or belief to even give it an honest try. I wantz the quick fix, the […]
A Crash or A Wonderful Journey?
Two emails bracketing a difficult day: 8:33 am Good Morning Joy, I made it in. I had already made the exit # 6, just cruising along listening to NPR, and something catches my eye back on the freeway to my left side. It is a black van rolling sideways, pieces flying and a large rag […]
