most of us come from different religious backgrounds than what we "practice" today. in other words, i would describe my spirituality as mixed; christian base, mixed with eastern philosophy, new age, etc.

this is one of my favorite hymns from back in the day. maybe some of you remember singing this in church?


let there be peace on earth

words and music: sy miller and jill jackson

let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me,
let there be peace on earth, the peace that was meant to be.
with god as our father, brothers all are we,
let me walk with my brother, in perfect harmony.

let peace begin with me, let this be the moment now,
with every step i take, let this be my solemn vow,
to take each moment and live each moment in peace eternally.
let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me!


rather fitting... :d

john lennon is and was a great person for our world. he beat himself up a lot but he was trying to love and that is the most important thing.

thanks for sharing.

dear friends,

probably the greatest quote ever, but you be the "judge..."

"the mind is like a parachute - it's useless when it's not open..."

i learnt this in sunday school and it seems to apply to me and what it means to be here on earth - also encourages me to 'live and let live'...that being the 'shining example' is all we really can be - i've spent a long time trying to 'rescue' people and now i know that all i need to do is be the 'little candle' shining in the darkness for those who want to come into the light...

jesus bids us shine

jesus bids us shine
with a pure, clear light,
like a little candle
burning in the night.
in this world of darkness
so let we must shine
you in your small corner,
and i in mine.

the moon over mtatsminda

my eyes have never seen the moon so lovely as tonight;
in silence wrapt it is the breathless music of the night.
moonbeams embroider shadows with fine thread of silver light;
o, eyes have never seen the sky so lovely as tonight! …

the moon adorned in beams of pearls seems like a queen divine;
the stars like fire-flies tangled in a web about her shine.
the mtkvari flows a silver stream of lambent beauty bright;
o, eyes have never seen the sky so lovely as tonight!

here in immortal calm and peace the great and noble sleep
beneath the soft and dewy turf in many a mouldering heap.
here baratashvili came with wild desires to madness wrought,
oppressed by raging fires of passion, and perplexing thought.

o, could i like the swan pour forth my sould in melody
that melts the mortal heart and breathes of immortality !
let my free song fly far beyond this world to regions high
where on the wings of poesy it will glorify the sky.

if death approaching makes the fragrance of the roses sweeter,
attunes the soul to melodies that make all sadness dearer,
and if that swan’s song thus becomes a denizen of heaven,
if in that song she feels that death will be but ecstasy, then, -
let me like her sing one last song, and in death find delight.
so breathless still and lovely i have never seen the night!

o, mighty dead, let me die here beside you as i sing.
i am a poet, and to eternity my song i fling,
and let it be the fire that warms and lights the spirit’s flight.
o, eyes have never seen the sky so lovely as tonight!
