Keep you’re eyes on the Sky - Keep you’re feet on the Ground
Dancing Rhythm of your being - As your ears bring you sound
Breath the air trees are giving you - know the earth in your style
All you need is the will to, now - Knowledge comes in a while
Start to look for a direction - Feel momentum start to build
When you reach to touch perfection -You’re a snowball ...
Rolling down the hill … moving on … moving down the hill
As the Deepness of the Valley - Help the river flow
So the waters of the Mountain - they must feel the life of snow
And when the Difference dissolves - into water of one Grace
You will know ... no lonely time - You will see ... no strangers face
When the one who gives us purpose
Is the one who holds the truth
With the same and clear foundation
We will know our selves ... All the way to you
All the way ... all the way to you
Beyond My Self
It's like I hear a calling
Into your eyes I'm falling
There're no excuses
My heart refuses
To turn and walk away ...
I see in your reflection
All that is love's perfection
The thoughts complete
As both sides meet
Where they've always known, this day ...
You take me Beyond My Self,
Into a place of wealth, Into the kingdom ...
You show me what life is for,
I see now there's so much more
The Soul sings, with you ...
It's like you're teaching me love,
lessons from high above
Into my heart, a brand new start,
it’s like I only want to care
I'm reaching for a flower,
Into Almighty power
My heart is open - it's you it's chosen,
My Love is now Aware …
Cry For The Answer
I can’t voice truth
But I can tell you my side
I won’t speak for you
But I’ll tell you I’ve cried
Cried for the answer
Smiled at the reply
Work hard for my freedom
Let a little take me by surprise
Let love call the shoots
I’m going to give it, what I’ve got
No excuses no one’s to blame
No cop-outs, No complains
Let it shine … And let it rain
Let it rain ... On my opened eyes
Let it rain my soul clean
Let my Love take a chance
Let each tear drop set me free
Let each one unfold me ...
As I cry for the answer
Smile at the reply
Work hard for my freedom
Let a little take me by surprise
Fearless Love
Well I'm not sure why
Something just keeps telling me
Go on look, into their eyes
Maybe you'll see in there hearts
How Love will do them no harm
How it surrenders
Without twisting the arms of their soul
When you let fear go
Yea I'm not sure why
Something just keeps tellin' me
Go on look, into their eyes
Maybe they'll see in your heart
Maybe they'll now
How Love would just Be
When you only let go of the fear, Love steps near
You can take this were you want to,
Nobody’s boxing you in
Make it what you want to,
With Fearless Love you can only win
You can only win, You can only win
Find Your Self In Love
Have you seen enough, to put your world together?
Have you seen enough, to know now what you want?
Have you seen enough, to show the things you value?
Have you seen enough, to show what's in our heart?
Well then:
Take the time, find your self a dancer
Take the time, dream the dream above
Take the time, find your self some answers
Take the time, Find Your Self In Love
And do you know enough, to keep your head together?
Do you know enough, to say just what you mean?
Do you know enough, not to be afraid?
Do you know enough, to show what's in your heart?
Freedom's What I Found
I was doing fine
Or so I thought
Here in my mind
Alone
But on my own two feet
My Time belonged to me
And so I thought
That I was free
But freedom's what I found
With you ...
Freedom's what I found
Freedom that astounds my senses
Free this Love abounds
Freeing me, from my defenses
Free to walk outside the fences
Freedoms what I found with You …
Just One Word
Just One Word, It's a New Day
Just One Word, There's a New Way
Just One Word, Just One Word
And It all begins again ...
Let Every moment - be the one that Love creates
Let Every step you take - brings you closer to the One
Let Every Sparkle - that you see there in your eyes
Let you realize - You're getting closer to the One
Here we go - rotating 'round the sun
Reaching for the fun - getting closer to the One
Ride the wave - of Integrity
Everywhere we See - bring you closer to the One
New Heart, New Joy - It never has to end
Every moment starts again - getting closer to the One
Grateful Love - born each day anew
Never out of view - take us closer to the One
Love Knows
Love knows, Love knows you
Love knows your here …
Love calls, Love calls you
Love calls you on ...
Love is waiting to know you better, It seeks you
It'll take the hunger from your eyes forever
It will feed you, Love will feed you
It will feed you - Love -
And Love is everywhere you are
Because you are Love
You know you are - You know you are
You know you are ...
Love is a rain drop, Love is a stream
Love is an ocean, of life …
And Life is a candle
Life is the sun, Life is you, It me, we're one ...
Mind To Heart
Heart, Heart … now you have your wings
And I'll be there, where, you choose to land
'cause Love, Love … waits for you and I
And all the reasons why stand up and cheer you on
So ride, ride … ride the unicorn
Love is never torn from where it'll always be
And be - Who you say you can
What you understand is right for you - And me
This time - Never mind the doubts
You can push it out from where you want to be
Like me ...
Dream, dreams … we all have dreams we share
So if the will is there, you know, they will come true
And Peace, let Peace … be what there is to win
It's time now we begin from where we'll always be
Teach Only Love
Teach Only Love, Teach Only Love
Teach Only Love
That is what you are
Take your chances everyday
When you think of it ... that’s all
Let the frustration wash away
‘cause when the channel’s in your heart
Your tuning in a Holy Spark
Letting the story ... just unfold
Where ever Truth stands to be know
It’s all a simple kind of song
Hear it, See it, Know it, Be it ...
It’s like a galaxy inside
Over a hundred thousand wide
Spinning ‘round with you and me
And when each star is just a spark
The Universe is in your Heart
What Love Would Say
There goes opinion
Here comes belief
So much for bias
Will the rules ever cease
'Cause all I want to know
Is What Love Would Say
All I want to know
Is What Love Would Say now
And now ...
Someone in left field
Someone off the wall
Someone left outside
While someone leaves it all
And all I want to know
Is What Love Would Say
All I want to know
Is What Love Would Say now
And now ...
Your Name
There is no name that can define you
No one word that says it all
And yet I still am so incline to
Reach for a sound that I can call
Beyond the name is what we're after
Father, Mother, Universe
Ala, the One, the Life Reactor
A River flowing to our thirst
Your Name can bring us to this Universe
Your Name can send us on to Love
Your Name is more than we can ever say
Yet somehow you hear us, when we call
When we call ... when we call …
You send the children to remind us
Of who we are and what we know
They let their open hearts define us
They show where to call for Home …
and they say …
What to call it … an Album? a CD?
One thing that’s accurate is a “Set Of Songs”.
Even before I played for a living, I would sometimes sit in the class room and imagine, then write out what my band would play for it’s first set …
The picture (shot with an iPhone) is Bowman Lake.
This was the original cover art for this set of songs.
The sky was shot from my living room window and the bottom is Saint Mary’s Lake.
The 24” by 36” poster hangs on my wall.
Advice: Received and Sent is technically the first song I wrote. Oddly enough, it was written on a bass guitar. At the time I was a bassist in a rock band. I think that’s why it modulates so much … After a steep hike, this view of Mystic Lake is
the first thing you see. (shot with D5100w/18mm)
Beyond My Self is my attempt at describing what it felt like to find my self in love …
The picture was taken on the same day as the previous shot of Mystic Lake.
Only this time we were on the way back from hiking around the rim.
Cry For The Answer is about one of those moments when the wise thing to do is accept, let go and surrender to what … is.
That’s not my normal attitude but sometimes it really is the right move.
The Lake is called Ashley and yes, much of it is this exact color. (shot with a phone)
Fearless Love may not be the most original sounding song … but I like the sentiment …
The picture was my studio, in the deepest part, of an earth-bermed home in
Emerald Hills. ( D7000 w/18mm while standing on the drum throne )
Find You Self In Love came from the desire to play something in 6/8 and 3/4 time. Then I looked through my note book until I found some words that would work.
Sometimes you just get lucky :)
Buddy is my model. In this case, I was testing an old 80-200mm @f/2.8
Freedom’s What I Found is my rebuttal to the stereotype of being restricted by
the “ball and chain” of a committed relationship. The picture is my small army of guitars,
taken with a ( D750 and a 28-70mm )
Just One Turn was written for a service about renewal. I once had a gig as a music minister and would tailor a song for each theme. The picture was taken for our
Cult Of The Light Hearted web site. ( D7000 w/35-70mm )
Love Knows started as a cool chord I discovered (E5).
The words just poured out as I was seeking to support
the vibe that the chord was creating.
The picture was from the first kayak trip on a small lake called Little McGregor.
(taken w/a phone)
Mind To Heart is a monolog, as the mind begins to realize
it’s not the only power-center in the self.
I was at my friend Frank’s house and he wanted to resolve
the standard A to Amaj7 to A7 descending chord thing.
I suggested Dm and boom …
Later I went home and wrote some words for it.
The picture of me was taken by my wonderful wife Kathryn Sabol
as we kayaked on the north-east corner of Flathead Lake.
Teach Only Love was written as a sing-a-long for a service and a weekly
Course In Miracles support group. The complete phrase is
“teach only love, for that is what you are”.
The picture was shot with one of my favorite lens, the 80-200mm.
What Love Would Say is one of those phrases that helps me
in the act of “counting-to-ten”.
It gives me an option for anger, despondency or indignation …
I was testing an 18-300mm on a new D500 body
when my model became bored :)
Your Name was written for a service on the various names we use for you know who …
The picture was shot from our front yard in Marion.
This is the actual look; no photoshop, no filters, no processing
of any kind.
It’s maximum aperture combined with a local forest fire
