Do You Really Think You Are In Control?
As we face tightening restrictions due to COVID-19 all over the world, the US and the state in which I live, the lyric above got me to thinking about how much we really have no control over. We spend so much time and energy trying to control things in our lives. We schedule and plan out our tightly controlled days and when it does not go according to plan, what then?
So much is happening outside of our control:
- There are waves crashing on beaches that no sees.
- There are flowers blooming on high mountain tops of snow.
- There are packs of wolves running across ridge lines in forests unseen.
- There are trees bending from the force of the winds and weather.
- There is birth, life and death happening all around us.
What is happening around you for which you have no control? #WickedQuestions

For the sake of our own sanity and mental health, we must learn to detach from that over which we have no control. To trust in a good outcome, to hope in a better tomorrow, and a better future for those who come behind us.

The Beauty We Always Miss
This poem was inspired by the following line from the Moody Blues song “Nights in White Satin.”
“Beauty I’d always missed, With these eyes before” ~Nights in White Satin, Moody Blues #Song #Lyric #Poetry

So often the true beauty, the adventure and the battle is right in front of us. Keep your eyes open, be ready, stay safe and steady on my friends!
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you
The World is Full of Wonders

Often it is in the simple things and tonight I am taking my daughter on a date.
We are doubling with friends on a daddy/daughter date. It is the time we spend together with those we love, the experiences and the memories that linger, not the things we accumulate.
So what wonders are right before your eyes?

To Know That You’re Alive!
These words ring so true for me lately. Adrift in a sea of wandering and wondering what is real. So many questions haunt my mind and it is often the pain that reminds me I am still alive and it is not over yet.
The pain has a purpose and grief is the happiness you experienced before. Depression is just a passing feeling and wounds heal turning to scars that serve to remind you where you’ve been and how far you’ve come. For you were meant for so much more than just ordinary!

You’re Not A Ghost
“Safety” by Fireflight from the album Innova featuring Stephen Christian
All alone, alone you float
Can anybody see you
You’re a ghost
Do they know the pain you hide
Do they know the pain you hide
Cry for help, reaching out
Can anybody hear you when you shout
Are you hidden from their eyes
Are you hidden from their eyes
I see you
In the light, in the dark
I will be your bleeding heart
Cause when you need me
I’ll be your safety
I’ll be your safety
Like a fire, running wild
Can’t contain what’s deep inside
Ready to break free
I’ll be your safety
I’ll be your safety
Do you ever feel alone, like you’re a ghost? The enemy would have you believe that but it is not true. You are loved and you are not alone. Reach out to someone and if you have no one, reach out to me and I will do my best to be your safety. God bless! ~M
You Are the One
Reminiscing with ‘Stereotype Be’ while awaiting the release of ‘Broken Temples Deluxe’, both albums by Kevin Max. The above lyrics are from a hidden song, You Are the One (full lyrics below), which appears on the ‘Stereotype Be’ album after the last song, I Went Over the Edge of the World. This is the only audio of the song I could find.
I ran into your arms like Moses parted water
I ran into your arms like an angel to the father
I ran into your arms like a soul that has departed & you rescued me…
I fell down like the stars, you pick me up so tenderly
And I fell down like the stars, my wings made of clay
And I fell down like the stars, you hold up so all can see
And you rescued me, oh yes
You, You are the One
You are the One, the only One
‘Cause You are,
You, You are the One
You are the One, You are my God
I stumble like a blind man
Destined to this earth I stray
I stumble like a blind man
No redemption
I stumble like a blind man
With eyes blacked out & a mouth of sand
And you rescued me, oh come on
You, You are the One
You are the One, You are my God
‘Cause You are,
You, You are the One
You are the One, the only One
‘Cause you are,
You are the sky that holds the rain
You are my greater stave
You are the drugs that kill the pain
You are everything, the teacher
I stand before your altar,
Falling strain of Abram’s son
I stand before your altar,
Like a lamb lead to the slaughter
You, You are the One
You are the One, the Only One
‘Cause You are
You, You are the One
You are the One, the only One
And You are
You, You are the One
You are the One
You are my God
And you are
You, You are the One
You are the One, the only One
‘Cause You are
You wanna call me when I’m wondering with doubt
You wanna call and tell me everything’s alright
I know it’s you and you see everything in me
I know it’s you, It’s you
You are the sky that holds the rain
You are my greater stave
You are the drugs that kill my pain
You are everything, the teacher
You are the sky that holds the rain
You are my greater stave
You are the drugs that kill the pain

This song gives me comfort and inspiration, reminding me of God’s infinite love for each of us, even in our darkness and weakness. Thanks Kevin!
