Recipe for Peace

Gotta have
Faith

all you need
is the size of a
mustard seed

Begin to
build
Peace

little by little

it will grow in time
like the start of this song

so have patience, grasshopper

In the meantime
please remember

just this thimble of advice

Things are what you make of them!

Dream all day

I got
A little bit longer
I got a ways to go

Even when I can’t see my rear view
Even if I call just to hear you

Even when I dream all day

EVERYBODY DREAM ALL DAY!

Don’t waste a day

Every day that you wanna waste,
That you wanna waste, you can

And every day that you wanna wake up
You wanna wake, you can

And every day that you wanna change,
That you wanna change, yeah

I’ll help you see it through

Satisfaction in the sun

getting satisfaction
in the sun
under a smurf blue sky

thinkin’ ’bout how
it really is
now or never

look at the newer me
fate pursuing me

i can feel the energy in the air
it feel like i’m supposed to be here

because i am,
as are you!

Getting Real in the Rain

I always dreaded our rain walks

But today the sun is bright
And the spattering of rain
Falling on my face

Is not a nuisance
As it once was

But instead
Makes me feel

REAL

La Famille et les Amis

I know that things can really get rough
When you go it alone
Don’t go thinking
You gotta be tough
To play like a stone

Could be
There’s nothing else in our lives
So critical
As this little home

It’s not so much
What we do
As how much
LOVE
We put into that action

You can pretend
They’re not the same as you
Do we take the time
To really discover
How little
We know about each other?

Less Yesterday, More Today

* Important Disclaimer:
The following songs are a little more country than rock-and-roll, which I allow because Kevin Devine and Ben Kweller are rock stars!

Less yesterday and more today
I gotta get my head on straight

And lead with my heart
As strong as stone

Because
Some days are aces
And some days are faces
Some days are twos and threes

Blessed are the peacemakers
Except when they forget
To fight for peace
(No violence required, thank goodness!)

You gotta set your sight
On the Lord in your life
You gotta fight till your dying day

Thanks giving

Nada Surf tells me

Maybe this weight was a gift
Like I had to see what I could lift

I would like to believe that
How ’bout you?

Gratitude all the way
Especially on
Thanks giving day

We just want to have fun.

fun. makes me happy – how ’bout you?

Moving forward
one foot in front of the other one
making this a better place to be
for us
and for those to come…

Keep calm and carry on!

Dan Savage isn’t the only one who knows that it gets better!

Do you know what YOU stand for?

Finally Woken

Another sunny day
In a typically rainy place
When October is
Just round the corner
Makes me feel
Grateful and unnerved

PMA = choosing to focus on the grateful feeling

Or as Jem says,

I’ve been thinking ’bout things
For a long while
I’m feeling so calm
I’ve got a big smile
I have a view of the sun
Right over the sea
And now I can feel
Life is flowing through me

You see I’ve finally woken
From a long sleep
I’m ready to jump
To make that blind leap
Cuz I now believe
I have the power in me
I’ve got the faith baby
I can truly be free

Child don’t worry, it’s okay
The sun is out for another day
And I say it’ll be alright
Today’s the first day of the
Rest of your life
Remember, remember,
Remember this, remember

Here she is
Telling us why
Life is
“Just a Ride”
