lay your hands on me...or...feel the magic

today...

I took some art into a printer to see about making some glicée prints.  and I left them with the printer.

four of them.  four little pieces of my soul.  :)  I know...so dramatic....but...they're with a stranger now...

and so...it felt good to start that process...because I've been thinking about it for months...I'm excited to see what will all come of it.

I feel like a parachute....or sunbeam today.  driving through snow flurries...and today...being 16 degrees (F)....despite all this...there was a party going on in the car as I drove all over the city to different errands...one, being the printer...and the other to downtown to get fingerprinted...something I've been meaning to get done as well...and finally...with two things done, I felt at least....some progress in two areas.


and as I drove....scrolling through thousands of songs on my iPod....I hit this little gem....by the Thompson Twins...

lay your hands on me...feel the magic.....


This old life seemed much too long
little point in going on
I couldn't think of what to say
Words just vanished in the haze

I was feeling cold and tired
yeah, kinda sad and uninspired
when it almost seemed too much
I see your face and sense the grace and feel the magic in your touch


oh, lay your hands on me...


back and forth across the sea
I have chased so many dreams
I have never felt the grace
that I have felt in your embrace

yeah- i was tired and I was cold
with a hunger in my soul
when it almost seemed too much
I see your face and sense the grace
and feel the magic of your touch...
now you made me feel so good,

yeah, like I never ever thought I would
you know you make me feel so strong
and now our laughter just goes on and on...

so cmon lay your hands on me,
cause close to you is where I really wanna be
and if it ever gets too much-
I'll see your face and sense the grace and
feel the magic in our touch.  (Thompson Twins)


bam.

that song...is like a freaking...spiritual hymn.  cripes....if that doesn't just....elevate your soul....then....well, maybe you just aren't into 80's new wave pop.   :)  that's ok....it's not for everybody.  :)  but....the message is universal.  sometimes we all need someone to be a parachute for us...to help us land safely when we feel like we're falling...

sometimes....I feel like....it's my....calling?  duty? mission?  purpose?  I dunno....but....I feel calm in a storm...and become....tuned in....to something bigger...

I remember driving back from the mountains in some serious blowing snow....seeing others on the side...and passing a serious accident...I was driving....and I went zen-like....just let go....and went calm.

feel a sense of peace and grace....and love, even in a storm. 


peace...and love....and pulling your parachute's cord....it's always there when you need it.
