All Shall Be Well

Dear Circle Friend,

It's been another full day in the middle of another full week. After struggling through a couple of false starts on writing some "meaningful prose" for this space  (whatever that means!), I decided to share the following words and music of a song I've been working on recently. Singing it helps me ease up a little bit; maybe you'll find it helpful, too. In any case, here's wishing you a healthy, happy and hopefully relaxing weekend.

With joy,

Rudi

PS: In the spirit of having a relaxing, enjoyable weekend, I STRONGLY urge you to attend this week's Sunday Circle, and enjoy the work of puppeteer, Justin Cornett-Olsson, who tours nationally with the Eulenspiegel Puppet Theatre Co. Justin and his wife, Rachel moved to San Antonio and quickly became part of our Circle community. We're fortunate to catch him between tours, and hope you'll be able to join us for this special performance (see more information below).

lyrics for 

ALL SHALL BE WELL

The dogs have been walked and our child has been fed

The dishes are washed and the emails all read

The laundry's been folded and stored away too

And yet there's still more that I feel I should do

 

'Cause the yard still needs mowing, its been growing so fast

The gutters need cleaning, now that winter's long passed

The windows need washing and the floors are a mess

Someone's gotta do it, and that's me, I guess      

 

CHORUS:

But I've gotta face facts, I'll never get it all done

So why not relax, and forget comparisons

Rest in the Presence and bid my worries farewell

Simply simmer in silence, trusting all shall be well

All shall be well...  all is well

 

It's been a full day at work and a full night at home

And it looks like tomorrow will have the same tone

This morning's To Do List has hardly been touched

And as bedtime approaches it all feels like too much 

(Repeat CHORUS, and... remember to breathe and relax into the last line!)
