Songbirds are gathering

on the wires

Already now?

Is it really time

to think of leaving?

Is it time already

to move on?

 

Songbirds are joyful

in flight

their chatter and song

warms my heart

 

Like songbirds we must be

singing in unison

while our days

get shorter

 

Winter is drawing near

for humanity

a long road ahead

a flight into the unknown

we live on

i know, we have to live

like all is well

we live on

 

i know, we have to!

 

we live on

day by day

doin’ what we do

not really

thinking it thru

 

we live on

babies are born

every day we grow

in numbers and in confusions

about what else to do

 

than livin’ on!

 

we do our best

i know, some of us do

but the rest

simply lives on

In wilderness

is the resurrection of my soul

In wilderness

the world is renewed

In wilderness

everything

is

Be still mind

be still

why do you want to chatter all day long

 

Be still

like the trees

they only whisper

when the wind moves thru

 

Be still

mind, be still

then the world will hear

when the Spirit moves thru you

 

Be still my mind

and know

the I AM

God

look, the river!

flowing, just flowing

look how it clings to nothing

always finding the way

look how it flows

all the way

to the

sea

 

look, the river!

it just longs

to merge

 

I guess my soul

is such a river

White man die

Black man die

Rich man die

Poor man die

Young man die

Old man die

Good man die

Bad man die

 

One day we will all die

Maybe we should remember that more often!

we are like ants

walking here and there

we are like ants

doing this and that

 

like ants we are

and then we die

How to deal with your wishes:

(it works for me)

 

Ask for what you want

but don’t demand it

Accept what ever happens

for now

Turn up your love

even if you don’t get what you want

 

That’s a very practical approach

(and it works for me ; )

“Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country”

John F. Kennedy  1961

I changed it a little bit:

Ask not what your world can do for you – ask what you can do for your world.

Ask not what your people can do for you – ask what you can do for your people.
