Good Vibrations: Quotes and lyrics to inspire and uplift
Since the beginning of recorded time, music has been used for
everything from war to peace, from love to loss, from inciting
violence to bringing healing.
Once music was a high art form and was appreciated as such; however,
it’s mostly considered entertainment in our society.
Now, I’ve done my share of performing and providing entertainment, and
I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that!
It was fun, both for me and for the audience, but music has so much
more to offer!
Science and the medical establishment confirm the healing–not
necessarily curative, but harmonizing, restoring,
health-promoting–power of sound and music.
Service musicians use this to their fullest advantage, choosing music
that is aligned with their patients’ needs and/or specific therapeutic
or healing goals, not for entertainment or accolades, but to help
others with the musical tools at their fingertips, in their voices,
and in their hearts.

#SixSentenceStories: Service.
Perhaps you’re nervous, anxious, scared
Of where you haven’t been before.
But were you frightened to be born?
You did it, even unprepared!
Go down the hall, ascend the stairs!
Be gowned, bedazzled by the ball,
Just try again if you should fall.
Play out the play, and dance the dance!
You must move forward to advance!
And take a chance for Good of All!

Ronovan Writes Décima Poetry Challenge Prompt No. 50: (DANCE) in the D rhyme line.
This week I did something new. I wrote the D lines first, then the C
lines, and finally, the first 5 lines. It felt strange, but turned out
well.
In the name of Almighty, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Peace, Mercy & Blessings of Almighty be upon you. Almighty does not like human …
Strength In Almighty’s Hands
Ole King Neptune is thundering forth
Wielding tridented terrible force!
O I pray you’ll beware,
For he’s mean as a bear:
Hungry Neptune can’t eat with that fork!

I wrote this back in 2010, on a small Celtic harp. I’m sharing it again, for Eugi’s rainbows prompt:

When I am ….. completely myself, entirely alone… or during the night when I cannot sleep, it is on such occasions that my ideas flow best and most …
Faerie Paths — Ideas
Dependency’s a cold, rough stone
Around the body, mind and soul.
It keeps both sides from feeling whole;
When they’re together, they’re alone.
It strengthens stress and weakens bones;
The mind imprisoned, angry, locked.
The spirit broken and in shock…
Remove the stone! Let in the Light!
Take back your precious power and might!
Depend upon the Solid Rock!

Aunt Jan crocheted more afghans
Than my little hands could count.
A lady I called Nana
Taught me all the ins and outs.
And from a science teacher,
I quickly learned to knit.
But weaving suits me best of all,
A natural knotting fit!

Twilight chirping birds
Bid their good-night to the day
Heralding the night
