Passing Through Souls
brand of ideology
technics of archery
confliction of character
ocean of devotion
for talking & listening
change
plethora of burdens
what to say...
comfortable friendship
here is our relationship
meeting space to be
coming face to face
adoration takes the place
she said it all with a smile
outside to find
the nature in your mind
wooden birdhouse etchings
pretty white flowers
licensed hunters
to comfort your fears
I only wish to walk abreast
walking in sunlight
together

Woman of Heart & Mind- For Jessica Maree
I am slowly learning the meaning of zero. None better, none worse and
without value but, a number a place in the world all the same.
I've concentrated on one for so long it's hard not to see anything different.
Now, i'm teaching & learning the meaning of two. It's a humbling experience
to say in the least. I'm trying to be strong & learning right from wrong.
I'm a smart man. It's not easy at first. A place has been made in my heart for
her. That's what this mix is about. Enjoy!

Joni Mitchell- Woman Of Heart And Mind
Joni Mitchell- Woman Of Heart And Mind
I am a woman of heart and mind
With time on her hands
No child to raise
You come to me like a little boy
And I give you my scorn and my praise
You think I'm like your mother
Or another lover or your sister
Or the queen of your dreams
Or just another silly girl
When love makes a fool of me
After the rush when you come back down
You're always disappointed
Nothing seems to keep you high
Drive your bargains
Push your papers
Win your medals
Fuck your strangers
Don't it leave you on the empty side
I'm looking for affection and respect
A little passion
And you want stimulation-nothing more
That's what I think
But you know I'll try to be there for you
When your spirits start to sink
All this talk about holiness now
It must be the start of the latest style
Is it all books and words
Or do you really feel it?
Do you really laugh?
Do you really care?
Do you really smile
When you smile?
You criticize and you flatter
You imitate the best
And the rest you memorize
You know the times you impress me most
Are the times when you don't try
When you don't even try

Mama, You Been On My Mind by Bob Dylan
Perhaps it’s the color of the sun cut flat
An’ cov’rin’ the crossroads I’m standing at
Or maybe it’s the weather or something like that
But mama, you been on my mind
I don’t mean trouble, please don’t put me down or get upset
I am not pleadin’ or sayin’, “I can’t forget”
I do not walk the floor bowed down an’ bent, but yet
Mama, you been on my mind
Even though my mind is hazy an’ my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you been don’t bother me nor bring me down in sorrow
It don’t even matter to me where you’re wakin’ up tomorrow
But mama, you’re just on my mind
I am not askin’ you to say words like “yes” or “no”
Please understand me, I got no place for you t’ go
I’m just breathin’ to myself, pretendin’ not that I don’t know
Mama, you been on my mind
When you wake up in the mornin’, baby, look inside your mirror
You know I won’t be next to you, you know I won’t be near
I’d just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind
An’ cov’rin’ the crossroads I’m standing at
Or maybe it’s the weather or something like that
But mama, you been on my mind
I don’t mean trouble, please don’t put me down or get upset
I am not pleadin’ or sayin’, “I can’t forget”
I do not walk the floor bowed down an’ bent, but yet
Mama, you been on my mind
Even though my mind is hazy an’ my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you been don’t bother me nor bring me down in sorrow
It don’t even matter to me where you’re wakin’ up tomorrow
But mama, you’re just on my mind
I am not askin’ you to say words like “yes” or “no”
Please understand me, I got no place for you t’ go
I’m just breathin’ to myself, pretendin’ not that I don’t know
Mama, you been on my mind
When you wake up in the mornin’, baby, look inside your mirror
You know I won’t be next to you, you know I won’t be near
I’d just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind

Poignancy of the Moment
Well, I finally did it. I made the perfect mix. What, to do now?
Working at it with more listening than it's usually worth but, we all have a purpose and mine comes naturally with a touch of grace. Makes me have to wonder about y'all. How has working with music made your life better & in what ways has it changed you? Yes, I'm addressing you the angel-headed hipster behind a computer with your files all lined up. With that setlist ready to fill your life with pleasure & satisfaction that goes along with the songs, that familiar personal truth comes alive, to the missing puzzle piece to your soul.
Oh, and you can't spell poignancy with out Nancy, my dear ones.
Enjoy!
