Funny how the songs from an album I recorded i 2004 are now coming back to accompany me on my journey.  For a long time, I put them away and allowed them to fade.  But these songs are part of the collection I put out into the world on my musical journey.  I don’t record much anymore.  But I am excited to re-visit the songs I have recorded and re-introduce the music and the messages.

The song “Free” is appropriate as I head out on my Mystical Van Ventures.  I truly am free!  I am free to go where the wind carries me.  I can’t look back at what I have left behind, because in the truth, I have left nothing behind.  It is all with me.  The whole of my experiences live in my heart and the greatest effort has been to transmute it all so there is nothing left but LOVE.

We often get this idea that love comes from “out there;” from “someone else.”  We so often feel lost, isolated and alone believing love has somehow forsaken us. We fear “losing love” and we fear we won’t find it.  What I have found, on my journey’s is that the love I had been seeking was here with me all along.  Just like Dorothy from the Wizard of OZ.  She always had the power to go home.  It was there within her.  She just didn’t know it.  She had to take the journey to the great OZ, looking for that magical wizard, “out there” who had the answers for her.  But what she discovered was that the answers lie within.  The true “wizard” is within.  Call it OZ.  Call it GOD.  Call it Higher Self.  It doesn’t matter much what we call it.  What matters is that we learn to embrace it; to experience it and to live by this force within.

True Freedom is when we discover there really is “no other.”  The world we experience “out there” is but a mirror of the world we experience within.  This is why it is so important that we get it right with ourselves first, before we try to “get it right” with anyone else.  ME before WE.

And so the journey continues…..

Free

Hush now my sweet love
Do not be afraid
Where I am going, you cannot touch me
But that doesn’t mean I’m not here
I haven’t disappeared

Heaven has paved the way
And I’m walking through the gates
Approaching the mystery….
I am free!

We couldn’t be together
We couldn’t be apart
Our love reaches through to forever
It lives on in our hearts

Heaven has paved the way
And I’m walking through the gates
Approaching the mystery….
I am free!
