One of my favorite artists. Listen to the entire album "Love Is A Four Letter Word"

Sonnet 29 (William Shakesphere)

Uploaded on Jul 1, 2008

Rufus singing "Sonnet 29":

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

--William Shakespeare

Hallelujah

A beautiful rendition of the Leonard Cohen song. Even though the song is about negotiating the minefield of interpersonal relationships and the pain that comes from acting unskillfully in those relationships, every time he sings the word "Hallelujah" it is like breathing in some relief that comes from abandoning ourselves to the healing grace that is always available but often seemingly remote because we grasp so tenaciously to our conditioned self.

Save Me (Shawn Colvin)

This is one of the songs from the sound track for the movie Save Me that I really liked. Enjoy! (There is just a blank screen, but turn the volume up as this is the best guitar version)

I'm Yours by Jason Mraz

I'm yours. This is the official version on youtube. Follow the link.

Alexi Murdoch: The Light

I see my brother he is walking in the sun

His back is bare, he carries no burden for anyone

I see the island, the silver line

Brother how you shine

And all around the light

And all around the light



Now I see my father, he's so small against the sky

The child, the tree, the shadow's on his eyes

He doesn't know who he's supposed to be

Father you are free

And all around the light

And all around the light



Now my mother she is crying on the stairs

Her hands are leaves, the light is in her hair

As she prays she thinks that no one heard

Mother you are a bird

Mother you are a bird

And all around the light

And all around the light

And all around the light

All around the light

Saint Francis Prayer

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.


Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury,pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

and where there is sadness, joy.


O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

to be consoled as to console;

to be understood as to understand;

to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

Three Little Birds: Don't Worry. Everything Is Gonna Be Alright!

Great musical collaboration from around the world. Good to remember to stay positive and look for the light when everything seems dark. There is goodness all about and we have to turn our attention in that direction more often. Finding balance requires a concious act of will.  Enjoy!
