Music is your only friend...

Sang a few songs with my friends and fellow bandmembers tonite. Problem was I wasn 't really feeling in the mood. Can't put my finger on why and it is annoying as I really do agree with Mr. Morrison's words (see post title). Trust me when I say that singing is very good for the soul and we can ALL do it. I constantly meet people who say they can't sing but please don't believe that. Most people come to that conclusion based on trying to sing along with records. This often results in one singing in the wrong key, that's all. Y'know, sopranos, baritones, basses etc. Trust me. Find a friend with a guitar and a capo and they may surprise you and you may well surprise yourself. Trust me please. I'll leave you with the rest of the line.......
Music is your only friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end...

The red dragon

I'm reading prolifically at the moment and coming to the conclusion that this web world is possibly the domain of the false prophets. Me included. But if that is the case i have just as much right as anyone else to put my viewpoints forward. Hence i do so in this blog. And my message to many is WAKE UP! For I am an individualist and we all find our own path to the light. Gurus? Gurus? Gurus? IF YOU NEED A GURU BEWARE! It smacks of a short cut. If you need a teacher or guide that is different. As the name suggests they teach or guide.THEY DO NOT INDOCTRINATE! And if on your spiritual path you ever feel that this is happening use your FREE WILL and remove yourself from the situation. There are many who seek POWER OVER others and i tell you now that this is unacceptable. BE WARY OF THE DRAGON false ones for he is a tad displeased and I'm having trouble placating him.

The search for Avalon

I have been doing a bit of Grail research recently as it's a sort of pet interest of mine. I obviously enjoy walking the minefield. Despite the number of views on the subject I am wary of being too definitive (and I would likewise caution others to shy away from singledmindedness on this matter) and I come down on the side of The Grail  taking different forms for different people. I have my own personal views but they are just that. Anyways......when one works with the grail one inevitably courts Avalon. Now I often get intrigued by the amount of literature that claims to know the geographical location of the Apple Isle and I've been into it again tonight. And I'm no closer to a conclusion which I'm pleased about. Anybody have any views???
But as always, this research has led me closer to what I was originally seeking. Or has it?

The Awen is simmering

Creativity?
I need it in my life! We all do. However, in modern western society, do we get enough time for it? To invest in it I mean. When you read the spiritual view on such matters there always seems to me to be a bit of 'copping out'. For example, find ways to be creative in your current job etc. Well that's all well and good but what if your job does not pay that well but is a necessity nonetheless. What if it drains you? Wouldn't it be nice if we all had a little time for a sabbatical? And as for the title of this piece I have been lucky today that the Awen has permeated on a day when I have not been busy with other things. Thank you Big C and Big G's. Oh and the TT as well.
Diolch yn fawr!

Rambling musings on survival

Ooo one can feel sorry for oneself sometimes.  As sometimes one questons the meaning of ones life. The daily grind just to survive. Running on the wheel that never stops. Climbing up a never ending ladder with no stop off points or final destination. How does one break the chains of bondage. Well........one can buy a lottery ticket, or two. Or one can find a kindrd spirit to share the burden. For many people life is like this. Just today I voted in local elections and in a referendum, the first since 1974or so. X marked the spot but to be quite honest it might have been better just to flip a coin. Sadly I feel that the people who would make the best politicians do not aspire to power. In this mutualy contradictory situation we end up with people who, sadly, do not make the best politicians. At least in terms of those who rise to the highest positions. Or is it just that you can't please all the people all of the time?   Once in awhile would be nice. Mmm....why am I writing this? I suppose because I'm a bit disilussioned by it all.  Integrity, honesty and parity. Where did it go? Was it even ever there?
Seek truth brothers and sisters!
You can't find what you've never looked for.
 Cheers.
