MOUTHING THE WORDS (Everything is Sound)

I've had a hard couple of days....really hard....really really hard.

I even cried quite a few times yesterday. I felt disrespected and small.

I have felt disrespected too many times in my life

............and I still don't know how to take it.

I knew I wouldn't stay in that place, but it did not help much to know that.

I wallowed all day.

So, this morning I turned on some music that I haven't listen to in awhile. Since my heart was still sad, as I showered, I found myself mouthing the words to:

"...if rain clouds come or the cold winds blow You're the One who goes before me and in my heart I know, that this good day, it is a gift from You, the world is turning in its place because You made it to...." (Fernando Ortega)

I usually sing with gusto in the shower, but today only my lips moved. As my lips were moving, I wondered if just mouthing the words would help.... kind of a "fake it 'til you make it" thing. I smiled a bit at that thought and continued through my day.

After struggling through the day with ugly and dark thoughts, I finally got into my car and headed home. I threw in my new Jason Mraz CD and the song: "Everything is Sound" came on and it made all of the difference with the words:

It's a song that I've forgotten often
It doesn't make me wrong
Cause we all need the darkness, to see the light
In our own eyes, come on, and sing it

 

Everything is  Sound

When there is love, I can't wait to talk about it
When things get rough, I like to walk with you
Or when it's night, I like to be the light that's missing
And remind you every minute of the future isn't written
Not yet

When there is love, or when the heart feels heavy
We can lighten it up, if you've had enough
Well you can empty your glass and we can fill it back up
You know it's up to us to make it all up
So what you making up? I can make it up back
You could be loved no matter what
And know the only time is right now, it's right where... where you are
You don't need a vacation when there's nothing to escape from

Singing
La la la la
Let's all sing
La la la la
Laying it down
Everything is sound

Let's sing to be happy, to feel things, to communicate, and be heard
Or sing out to protest, and to project, and to harmonize with birds
Whether it's your birthday or your dying day
It's a celebration too
Rejoice to use your voice and give wings to any of choice
Whatever you're choosing right now, it's right where... where you are
You don't need a vacation when there's nothing to escape from

Set your vibration and undulation to the highest it can go
And trust me, hear me
If it makes you wanna sing
Just sing it

La la la la
Let's all sing
La la la la
Laying it down
Everything is sound
La la la la
Let's all sing
La la la la
Hallelujah

It's a song that I've forgotten often
It doesn't make me wrong
Cause we all need the darkness, to see the light
In our own eyes, come on, and sing it

I'm gonna be okay now that I remembered my song.
