"I am what I do, and I do what I am"

"I am what I do, and I do what I am" is what I thought to myself this morning.... 


Lately, I've been facing some issues within myself.  I've seen how much I've been holding myself back... having unrealistic self-expectations.. finding it hard to accept and embrace the gradual, natural progression of growth and events... 
I've been holding myself back by thinking thoughts such as "ahh, well I can't do that yet, because it's not going to be good enough yet.. " etc.  I've been focussing on where I think I 'should' be instead of accepting where and who I am right now or something like that... 
Anyway, that's enough info about that part....  


.. making my requests known to God is a big thing in my life, and I think that now I'm starting to be able to accept things some more..

At least for this morning anyway, I saw things in a different light.... not a 'wanna-be' teacher, singer, song-writer... but a practicing teacher, singer & song-writer.  I am already there.... I'm doing it and living it ~ this is who I am and what I do ~  just keep walking, and doing.  I may not be the very best out there but if I can share something of what I do (even if it's just 1 or 2 things) and if it helps someone take some kind of step in their lives, then I feel grateful to be a part of that :-)  

Something is Real ~ Lyrics

Lyrics to prepare you for the song!   Video to follow shortly.. 

Come on now, turn around

Wanna leave, this place is killing me

Don't you feel, as I do?

Callin' out, Oh God can you hear me now? 

And I've been fairy safe in silence

But oh the silence has turned into 

A sea of waters cascading

Cold descending 

Cry ~ go on cry

I've filled up the ocean and now I find

These water's are turning into something divine

I've filled up the ocean and now I find

These water's are turning into something divine

Indigo, violet and purple I see

Colours emerging from nowhere it seems

Swirling and dancing around me I feel

Suddenly knowing that something is real 

I can feel, something new

Can't you see, this place is healing me?

Come on fall, like a star

Send your light, oh God take away this night

And why am I afraid of silence?

Cos oh the silence has, turned into 

A sea of hopefulness burning

Promise emerging 

Fly. 

I've filled up the ocean and now I find.... 

Indigo, violet and purple I see.... 

La da da da da da...

La da da da da da....

Songwriting ~ Something is Real...

I wrote a song early last year (2009)... it was like the wind passing me by, whispering....
It blew over in my direction, and I felt as though I had to move quickly, reach out and grab it before it moved on somewhere else.... 
Of course, none of this was planned, and I had no idea what I was going to be writing about, but I began to notice along the way that the whispers of words and melodies were taking on shapes, patterns and colours in my mind.  It was as though the lines and lyrics became the colours in a paint pot and I'd taken hold of the brush and started painting...   "Something is Real" .... to follow shortly....

...my favourite colour... and an image that often flits through my mind...
