Bliss


I love to examine the expressions on the faces of people when I am out on my walk. I still can recall from this morning the look on a young woman who was riding a bicycle with a carriage of some sort behind her, inside the carriage was a baby, I thought the baby must be so happy to be riding along with his mother with the breeze in his face. The woman looked like a commercial and you would have thought she knew me, that is how her face lit up with her smile.When walkers , runners and cyclists pass by they are smiling at me, I am smiling at them, We share something. they have a moment to say hello,nod or wave as they pass, they, we are on a higher plane, there are no worries, concerns, or problems to weigh them down, they are in the present moment! I know this feeling and it is unlike any other, it is pure euphoria! you start out walking, running etc., maybe even before you start, you push yourself to go,then you build up to this certain point, and without knowing when it has taken place, you are off and you are "spinning free", I call it. You were walking..........now you are the walk.....you are the experience!

Word for the day

Harmony
musical agreement of sounds......
internal calm......

Music


Thank you for the music the songs I'm singing thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who could live without it? I ask in all honesty
what would we be? without a song or a dance you and me
so I say thank you for the music for giving it to me
-Abba-

Today on my walk, I listened to the sounds of different music, I listened to the guitar in Third Day,playing an instrumental of How Great thou Art,
the piano in Cat Steven's Morning has broken, Steve Miller's Dance,Dance,Dance had me dancing in my walk,The Cure's A Forest, put me deep inside one with lush green trees, and Don Williams had me saying to the Lord, that I hoped this day was good, and of course Abba's thank you for the music brought me home with chills, like something whispering through me about singing. This particular song also brought thoughts of my Mother, and I felt her spirit near me.
