Deep in the night
the winds blow cold
and in a heartbeat
the fear takes hold...

Deep in the storm
there's a place that's soft and still
where the road waits to be taken
if you only will

The voices inside you
can lead your soul astray
Believe in what you dream
Don't turn away
don't you turn away

Ever had a feeling that came from beyond the mind?
Whatever language we speak in, the invitation is always to transcend their meaning and feel them in the heart. Here is such a powerful expression of the heart called "Now we are Free" which we frequently play during the Openhand Course Work...

Anol shalom
Anol sheh lay konnud de ne um
Flavum
Nom de leesh
Ham de nam um das...

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight...

"Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

"I'm gonna clear out my head
I'm gonna get myself straight
I know it's never too late
To make a brand new start...

"You with the sad eyes
don't be discouraged
oh I realise...

"And so she woke up
from where she was lying still
Said we got to do something about where were going...

Isn't it something to be nothing? Here's a great song called 'Nothingman' by Pearl Jam that perfectly captures that sentiment...

I've been through darkness many times. This one always seemed to appear when I needed it most...

"Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape...

Here's a great one by Jack Johnson - maybe its time we turned off the TV?...

"You win it's your show now
So what's it going to be?
Because people will tune in
How many train wrecks do we need to see?...
