DIWALI – Lyrics were written with the help of 3C from WPIS; Benita from the same class was the one who gave the strongest impact : when we started to sing some idea for a song about Diwalli, she said – this is so boring; so I had to change all; and it turned into a great dance song; composed and … More… • Preview ‘Diwali’

You know how it’s fun when you happen to glance at the odometer at just the right moment, and you see the 14,999.9 turn to 15,000.0? Well, it’s fun for me whenever those 9’s are lined up and about to roll as a group, too.

.

The ‘moment’ just now was when I glanced at the blog stats number at the bottom of the sidebar. it said,

.

• Blog Stats

  • 15,000 hits

.

I realize some web sites get 15,000 hits a day. Maybe some even get that many in an hour. This one has been around for almost two years. But, I still got a kick out of seeing the 15,000 number show up.

I hope you will be able to be with the one(s) you love during this season and in the coming year. That’s what life is all about, isn’t it? Loving ourselves. Loving others.

.

Thanks to those who read these words. I wish you all the best. I wish for all of us love, health, peace and joy.

It began with these words:

Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses, Honorable members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Excellencies, Ladies and gentlemen.

I have a purpose here today. It is a purpose I have tried to serve for many years. I have prayed that God would show me a way to accomplish it.

Sometimes, without warning, the future knocks on our door with a precious and painful vision of what might be. One hundred and nineteen years ago, a wealthy inventor read his own obituary, mistakenly published years before his death. Wrongly believing the inventor had just died, a newspaper printed a harsh judgment of his life’s work, unfairly labeling him “The Merchant of Death” because of his invention – dynamite. Shaken by this condemnation, the inventor made a fateful choice to serve the cause of peace.

Seven years later, Alfred Nobel created this prize and the others that bear his name.

Seven years ago tomorrow, I read my own political obituary in a judgment that seemed to me harsh and mistaken – if not premature. But that unwelcome verdict also brought a precious if painful gift: an opportunity to search for fresh new ways to serve my purpose.

Unexpectedly, that quest has brought me here. Even though I fear my words cannot match this moment, I pray what I am feeling in my heart will be communicated clearly enough that those who hear me will say, “We must act.”

The entire speech is here.

Today is Thanksgiving Day, a national holiday in the USA.

.

Visitors from other countries do not share this holiday. Even so, I’d like to invite every visitor to make today your own day for giving thanks for all that is good in your life.

.

It is very easy for all of us to see bad things happening all around, both personally and globally. Today, I invite you to join with me in noticing all that is good.

.

I also want to invite you to join with me in consciously choosing to live with gratitude while continuing to work to make our personal lives, our communities, our countries and our planet safer, healthier and more peaceful for us all.

.

I will be with some of my family for this holiday for the first time in years. This is one thing for which I am grateful.

I’m working on a new round of songs. On http://efolkmusic.org , I have two digital albums up. One is Weird Duck. Almost all the songs are about animals and most could qualify as children’s songs. The other is Hungry When I Wake. It’s for adults, and the songs are stories about people I’ve seen or imagined. The digital albums are available for purchase. The individual songs are available free as mp3 downloads to eFolkMusic members.

.

Another cd, Lean In For A Kiss, is not yet available on efm. The (currently) free mp3 download “I Smile Again So You Won’t See Me Cry” is from that cd. Last year, I wrote songs for two more cds. I’m still waiting to record them in a studio. I hope to get started on that sometime this fall..So, when “Lean in For A Kiss” is available (recorded in 2003), and when the two cds from 2006 are online, and when the new group of songs are recorded and uploaded, there will be six cds available to download. Full length previews are available for every song that is available for download, so you can listen first and only keep the ones you like.
