Do you see me?
Did you hear me?
Did what I say mean anything to you?

One of the hardest things about forgiving another is the feeling that doing so will make their actions ‘ok’.   Marianne Williamson addresses this so eloquently:

“The Universe will deal with that person’s Karma.  You don’t have to worry that if you ‘forgive them’ that they are going to somehow live an undeserved wonderful life.”

“When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. ”

-Jimi Hendrix

“Knowing something is easy. Saying it out loud is the hard part.”

-Robert Redford’s character in the movie ‘The Horse Whisperer’

When I met you in the restaurant
You could tell I was no debutante
You asked me what’s my pleasure
A movie or a measure?
I’ll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming
Dreaming is free
I don’t want to live on charity
Pleasure’s real or is it fantasy?
Reel to reel is living rarity
People stop and stare at me We just walk on by - we just keep on dreaming
Feet feet, walking a two mile
Meet meet, meet me at the turnstile
I never met him, I’ll never forget him

Dream dream, even for a little while
Dream dream, filling up an idle hour
Fade away, radiate

I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own
Something you can have and hold

I’d build a road in gold just to have some dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free

-(lyrics to the song ‘Dreaming’ by Blondie)

“The most basic human instinct is not toward survival, but toward the familiar”

-Virginia Satir
