sing along...throwback style

Another quiet Saturday morning...another 8tracks mix from me to you. This time, some oldies from my CD collection. I can (and will) sing along to every one of these tunes. One of my personal favorites is included...a deep track from the Culture Club. Hope you will give it a listen and enjoy.

lenten thoughts

Lent starts soon...very soon...and all of the introspection that comes with it. I found myself putting together a somewhat heavy mix of music with things that will make you go "hmmmm" if you listen to the words. Plus, there is a collection of instrumental music in the middle that I have recommended before for contemplation. The set lightens up with more hopeful thoughts at the end. Enjoy.

emphasis

death is a cold, blindfolded kiss.

it is the finger pressed upon our lips.

it puts an unwanted emphasis on how we should have lived.

life is a gorgeous, broken gift.

six billion+ pieces waiting to be fixed.

love letters that were never signed, sent to where we live.

but the sweetest thing i've ever heard is that i don't have to have the answers,

just a little light to call my own.

though it pales in comparison to the overarching shadows,

a speck of light can reignite the sun and swallow darkness whole.
