MAY YOUR LOVE BE LIKE WATER

May your love be like water,

falling like rain from the sky

flowing like a river, no force can defy

 

May your love, cut through the hardest stone,

in the course of time

flowing left, flowing right, carving through old lines

 

Even the mightiest mountain,

yields to water's way

tumbling down through a tiny creek,

with a quiet and humble display

but day after day, year upon year,

water flows over the stone

with its dance of time and space,

wears down thru the bone

 

And should your love turn cold and hard,

frozen by winter's wind

may it thaw and melt once more,

when spring returns again

 

May your love be like water,

flowing ever free

take you where you need to go,

and where you long to be

I wrote this song last week for my Monday Night songwriter's salon, where it was critiqued and gently re-shaped by a dozen fellow musicians. Then I shared it in the Sunday Circle, supported by the amazingly gifted and generous musicians who comprise the Circle Band (thank you, so much, Ray Palmer, Kevin Lewis, Kiko Guerrero, Michael Madison and Carl Rush!!!). The sound and video was recorded and produced by our talented production manager/videographer, Eddie Wise, with additional audio-mixing by Kiko, using photos taken by our deeply supportive friends, Gary O. Smith, Leah Damon and Dirk Magdahl. So...when you watch the video, what you're seeing and feeling is a sampling of the large, loving and creative community in which the Circle operates, day after day, year after year. 

As I watched this video (in the wee hours, after the closing reception of the Sacred Art of Altars show -- which was another AMAZING artistic/spiritual outpouring of love from a huge group of artists and Circle volunteers), I was overwhelmed by the renewed awareness of what a blessing it is to work and play in such an amazingly supportive setting.  

I hope that you, too, can feel the love surrounding you, as I do. And, may YOUR love be like water...

In the spirit of love,

Rudi
