"The body can be regarded as a LOCAL pheomenon and can only be treated with LOCAL physically based approaches anchored in the here and now. But the MIND, infinate in space and time, is NON-LOCAL and can bring about profound change in the human body"
Larry Dossey, M.D., Author 'Recovering The Soul'
......Where are you?.....I miss you...
One night I was asleep in La Chateau. I woke up as I often do, and began reading a new book of poems by a Persian Mystic named Rumi. Some of you may remember I have used some of his verse in BLOG thingie before. I just luuuurve his writing! Anyway one of the verses I read was beautiful, well to me anyway. As I often do as well, I grabbed my exercise book and copied the verse. I had a yawn or two and went back to sleep. But there was something about that piece of verse. I had read literally hundreds of his verses but none had jumped out at me like this one. The next day at the Library I re-read the verse. And with that came a vision of my version of what the poem was about (did that make sense dot?). Anyway I have researched a lot about LOSS and the negativity that any loss brings with it. LOSS creates the perfect NEGOB. So you lose your partner or a close family member or friend, or you lose your business or home. Any LOSS creates grief. The actual LOSS itself is the OBSTACLE. But then the NEGATIVITY starts eating into you, sometimes with tragic consequences. But this bit of verse was telling me something. It was a positive message. This is how the verse reads:
"I filled the garden with candles tonight,
set the table with wine and sweets
and called the musicians.
How I wish that you could be here !
set the table with wine and sweets
and called the musicians.
How I wish that you could be here !
So that bit of verse hit a nerve. A good one. It planted a seed in my MIND and my MIND went to work. All of the previous songs I had created were light hearted pieces featuring some of the areas of life at the bottom. Put to music they should provide a pleasant experience for the public. They will also be great entertainment when I begin my seminars (called 'A Significant Event' if you remember). The trouble with all of the ra-ra's is that they are informational without entertainment. I will provide both.
But this new song is what I wanted to get out there to show that LOSS and GRIEF can be overcome. It is a story of victory over adversity. In a round about way it is about me. In a round about way it is about all of us who experience LOSS and GRIEF, and there are a heap of us in this world of turmoil right now. After I had written the lyrics to the song with the support of a very active MIND I realised that what I had was something special. Now I had to compose the musical side of this beautiful song. And there was something else.........
All of the other songs I had deliberatly structured around my voice range so that if I could sing at all then I would give it a chance within my own vocal limits. But when I structured BE IN ME it had to have some power and high notes which I could not reach.....well so I thought. Hmmmmm..........
Back to the beach, and the roar of the waves, and the late afternoon with nobody that could possibly hear. I cleared my throat......as you do....... and then sang this, this stuff. I don't know where it came from but, well this BIIIG noise came out. Oh dear. What was becoming of me.
I had a song. A big one. I thought for a long time and decided on 'BE WITH ME'. Yep that sounded cooool. I kept going over and over the vision in my head for days and days. Then, again, while I was walking along the beach for some reason my MIND just said it to me:
BE IN ME
It will go NUMER ONE........
No, I haven't been drinking!
