Super Sunday to you, Superhero! Today is about discovery.
The dharma, the truth, is often hidden in plain sight for us to discover. Appearing between pauses in conversations, or contained in poetic works or lyrics. The lyrics of this song, written by Peter Gabriel David Rhodes, perfectly describe to me that which keeps me separate, divided within myself and disconnected from others.
This morning, I remembered how almost 6 years ago, I wrote these lines, "What I carry in my heart, Brings us so close or so far apart, Only love can make love," on a scrap of paper, which I pinned to the wall of a cafe, alongside other notes left by pilgrims on their Way to Santiago.
Today, I return to these words seeing their truth, in an absolute sense and through the relative experiences of my life. And, how I would do well to remember them during times of confusion and disillusionment. Wishing you a day of dazzle and shine. Fly on, Superhero. Fly on!

Today inspiration through song... "Here Comes the Sun" was written by George Harrison in 1969 while he was playing hooky from the business of being a Beatle. Composed at the house of his friend Eric Clapton, the song reflects George's feelings toward the arrival of spring and embodies the enlightening quality of following one's heart. "Here Comes the Sun" was written at the time when Apple was getting like school, where we had to go and be businessmen: 'Sign this' and 'sign that.' Anyway, it seems as if winter in England goes on forever, by the time spring comes you really deserve it. So one day I decided I was going to sag off Apple and I went over to Eric Clapton's house. The relief of not having to go see all those dopey accountants was wonderful, and I walked around the garden with one of Eric's acoustic guitars and wrote "Here Comes the Sun". - George Harrison Here Comes The Sun, is a gentle and eloquent reminder that no matter how dark things may be, illumination is in the process of arising. Wishing you a day of spontaneous warmth and clarity! Fly on, Superhero. Fly on! 
Today is about fear... “Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.” — Bertrand Russell  Fear, like anything else in life, is an opportunity to learn more about ourselves. When we face our fear, we are accepting the invitation to become more intimate with ourselves, more honest.
Reflecting upon our fear, gives us a chance to understand and process our feelings and reactions to particular situations. Through self inquiry we may be able to identify the specific beliefs, opinions and experiences which underlie our fear. And, decide to let them go. Facing fear is empowering, liberating and essential for our growth. In his inaugural speech, on Saturday, March 4, 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt was quoted as saying, "So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is...fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance." What a wise thought-provoking statement. Wishing you a day of enlightening encounters! Fly on, Superhero. Fly on! Photo by Stefano Pollio on Unsplash Today it's a duet... "If I Needed You," written by Townes Van Zandt, was featured in the 2012 Belgian drama "The Broken Circle Breakdown." Enjoy! Wishing you a day full of the light of love.

Believe It or Not by Joey Scarbury Look at what's happened to me I can't believe it myself Suddenly I'm up on top of the world It should have been somebody else Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air I never thought I could feel so free Flyin' away on a wing and a prayer Who could it be? Believe it or not it's just me Just like the light of a new day It hit me from out of the blue Breaking me out of the spell I was in Making all of my wishes come true Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air I never thought I could feel so free Flyin' away on a wing and a prayer Who could it be? Believe it or not it's just me This is too good to be true Look at me falling for you Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air I never thought I could feel so free Flyin' away on a wing and a prayer Who could it be? Believe it or… Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air I never thought I could feel so free Flyin' away on a wing and a prayer Who could it be? Believe it or not it's just me Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air I never thought I could feel so free Flyin' away on a wing and a prayer Who could it be? Believe it or not it's just me Today's inspiration is a blast from the past. "Sing" was written in 1971 by Joe Raposo for the children's television show Sesame Street, as its signature song. It gained popularity in 1973, when The Carpenters released it as their debut single from their album Now & Then. Beautifully written and performed, this song is amazing empowering for the young and old, and everyone in between. So, today, why not sing... sing your song... and let the world sing along. Wishing you a day of love and good cheer! Fly on, Superhero Fly on. LYRICS:
Sing. Sing a song. Sing out loud, sing out strong. Sing of good things, not bad. Sing of happy, not sad. Sing. Sing a song. Make it simple to last your whole life long. Don't worry that it's not good enough for anyone else to hear. Just sing. Sing a song. La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La Sing. Sing a song. Let the world. Sing out loud. Sing of love there, could be. Sing for you and for me. Sing a song. Make it simple to last your whole life long. Don't worry that it's not good enough for anyone else to hear. Just sing, sing a song. Written by Joe Raposo Performed by The Carpenters Today is about love … “Can't we give ourselves one more chance? Why can't we give love that one more chance? Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love …?” - Queen & David Bowie “Why can’t we give love?” is a remarkable question, with, billions upon billions of different answers. We could lump these responses together, under the heading of “pressures that no one asked for.” And, this may be true. But, it may also be true to say that it is because we have allowed these “pressures” to separate us from humanity. To alienate us from ourselves and each other; and our compassion and forgiveness. Though our conditions and situations differ, we all suffer pressure. We all experience fear and pain. Remembering this, will help us to act with compassion in the moment, when we encounter anger in ourselves and others. And, perhaps, allow us to extend forgiveness sometime thereafter. Wishing you a day of unparalleled capacity! Fly on, Superhero. Fly on! Under Pressure was released in October of 1981, almost 40 years ago. It is as relevant and true today, as it was then. Under Pressure
-Queen, David Bowie Mmm num ba de Dum bum ba be Doo buh dum ba beh beh Pressure pushing down on me Pressing down on you, no man ask for Under pressure that burns a building down Splits a family in two Puts people on streets Um ba ba be Um ba ba be De day da Ee day da, that's okay It's the terror of knowing what the world is about Watching some good friends screaming "Let me out!" Pray tomorrow gets me higher Pressure on people, people on streets Day day de mm hm Da da da ba ba Okay Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor These are the days it never rains but it pours Ee do ba be Ee da ba ba ba Um bo bo Be lap People on streets Ee da de da de People on streets Ee da de da de da de da It's the terror of knowing what the world is about Watching some good friends screaming 'Let me out’ Pray tomorrow gets me higher, high Pressure on people, people on streets Turned away from it all like a blind man Sat on a fence but it don't work Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn Why, why, why? Love, love, love, love, love Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking Can't we give ourselves one more chance? Why can't we give love that one more chance? Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love Give love, give love, give love, give love, give love? 'Cause love's such an old fashioned word And love dares you to care for The people on the edge of the night And love (people on streets) dares you to change our way of Caring about ourselves This is our last dance This is our last dance This is ourselves under pressure Under pressure Pressure Source: LyricFind |
