finding my voice

sike - i can't sing...but i like trying. everything takes practice right? i wish i could write more on any particular subject. I'm just as the shirt i've been wearing says i am, scattered brain.

today, i find myself on a passion high. I woke up refreshed and ready. so, like any fit of progress or productivity, i enjoy riding the wave, but how do you sustain that and carry the weight of obedience at length? Does that make sense? Can one sit still and be in a constant, sustainable passion? Sustainable peace? Surely, god you have not forsaken me, but i have ignored your voice. So, what's next? What's on for today?

I had some music to wake me up today and i think they'll forever, intermittently, excite something inside of me:
Des'ree - you gotta be
John Mayor - waiting on the world to change

"now we see everything that's going wrong with the world and those who lead it we just feel like we don't have the means to rise above and beat it so we keep waiting waiting on the world to change we keep on waiting waiting on the world to change" - a constant call to not wait. to DO.

"Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry

You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day

Herald what your mother said
Reading the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
My oh my, heh, hey

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiserYou gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be strongerYou gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay togetherAll I know, all I know, love will save the day" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES...just bolder, stronger, wiser - that is empowerment.

peace.
