TRUTH RAY - ASTRAL YOUTH

I was a dot inside my own tapestry 
I was amused by all a those they things 
the did not see

but all that I really needed was
somebody else to believe and read 
all the Natural Rhapsody 
all the Natural Rhapsody 

I walked alone inside a my own territory 
I was a victim of my own stupidly 

but all that I really needed was
somebody else to believe and read 
all the Natural Rhapsody 
all the Natural Rhapsody 

no target on my back but
still they kicking me

while I'm down struggle to see
what's staring straight at me 
one way ticket to happy

I was inertias latest cripple casualty 
I was immune to all a their forms
and repartee

but all that I really needed was
somebody else to believe and read 
all the Natural Rhapsody 
all the Natural Rhapsody 
all the Natural Rhapsody

Lyrics;

Blackcap* at the top of chalky bostal
Burial mounds shrouded in the fog
Our spirit will embrace the loss

Thank you for giving me your roots
For to sit upon and drip upon, I’m ripping off my boots
On your trunk I slump
In the evening sun

Touch my heart with your empathetic eyes
Warm and safe and you’re honest and kind
Counted up my blessings and they multiplied
You guided me through the most difficult of times 
Hug my soul and you saved my life 
Held me tight when I needed a cry
I don’t think that I can thank you enough
Watch me fly cos I’m lifted by your love

Thank you for giving me a family
Welcome me, made me feel at home
You fill me with the hope
That I can give you what you give me

Thank you for the time and for the space
For the panoramic enigmatic place to contemplate
In the fading light
Silently wide eyed

Touch my heart with your empathetic eyes
Warm and safe and you’re honest and kind
Counted up my blessings and they multiplied
You guided me through the most difficult of times 
Hug my soul and you saved my life 
Held me tight when I needed a cry
I don’t think that I can thank you enough
Watch me fly cos I’m lifted by your love

Don’t ever take it for granted
Don’t ever trade it for gold
Don’t ever take it for granted
This is your world

There’s a bliss in the mist
as it rises from the trees
There’s a hustle and a bustle
from industrious bees

There’s a reassuring robin
bobbing in the hawthorn
as the easy going Common Blue
passes through the morning

Hear the wistful thistle
in the middle of the field
Hear it’s whistle in the mizzle
as it drifts across the Weald

See the iridescent luminescent 
vibe-adelic hue
of the twilight effusing blends
of oranges and blues

There’s a forest dwelling moth
gives a reassuring nod
camouflaging with the bark
wings all dusty and soft

There’s a heavenly serenity 
waiting at the creek
and a joyful serendipity 
in the heron’s beak…

Don’t Ever Take It For Granted

Dear friends, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
It can be noted that many people become extra kind and friendly during Christmas time, even if not everyone celebrates Christmas. Perhaps a ceasefire can be implemented in the Middle East - It has been talked about! Now, one can only hope that Mr. President Putin's heart will be transformed from stone to gold!

Lyrics in English
A Heart of Gold

Now comes the most beautiful time
you can see when the birds fly to us
they know that we now - have a heart of gold

When you meet someone in the town square
you can see that they bow and bow
and they smile at me - they have a heart of gold

You can hear that those who rule the world now
have softened and they say that now there will be peace
you can hope that they - have a heart of gold

Both mistress and master are friendly now
they give a meat bone to the dog and the cat runs free
everyone notices right now - that Christmas has come here

Lyrics in Swedish
Ett Hjärta av Guld

Nu kommer den vackaste tiden hit
man kan få se när fåglarna flyga till oss
de vet att vi nu - har ett hjärta av guld

Då man möter någon på stadens torg
man kan få se att dom niger och bugar sig
och dom ler mot mig - dom har ett hjärta av guld

Man kan höra att dom som styr världen nu
har mjuknat upp och dom säger att nu ska det bli fred
man kan hoppas att dom - har ett hjärta av guld

Både matte och husse är vänliga nu
dom ger ett köttben till hunden och katten springer fritt
alla märker just nu - att julen har kommit hit

Ett Hjärta av Guld (A Heart of Gold - A Christmas Carol) - 2024-12-22 12.17

Within each of us, a universe of potential resides, waiting to be explored. 
It's a unique blend of passions, talents, and dreams, just waiting for the chance to shine.

You are a masterpiece, a work of art, crafted with love and care. 
Every stroke, every curve, every color, makes you who you are. 
You are one-of-a-kind, a beautiful and extraordinary being.

It’s time to embrace your individuality. 
Let go of the fear of being different and embrace the power of being yourself. 
Your uniqueness is your superpower. 
It sets you apart, makes you special, and allows you to make a significant impact on the world.

So, let your light shine brightly. 
Chase your dreams, follow your heart, and never give up on yourself. 
The world is waiting for you to unleash your full potential. 
You are capable of amazing things!

Believe in yourself, and watch as your dreams become reality.
