“There’s a hole in the world tonight,
There’s a cloud of fear and sorrow,
There’s a hole in the world tonight,
Don’t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow”
~
Written by Glenn Frey and Jack Tempchin Performed by The Eagles
~
There was a “hole” in my world one night,
it felt like a cloud of fear and sorrow,
there was a hole in my heart that December night,
don’t let there be a hole in my heart tomorrow
~
~
~
~
~
please….help me learn how to let go of the sadness in my heart for tomorrow…
please…help me learn how to live with compassion and love…
please….help me to learn and develop a mind of wisdom~

There seemed to be a pretty big “hole” in my own world for a few months….
It seemed like
……there was nothing to believe in……
At first
….I started coming back….
then
….running back!….
now
…I’m coming back for more!…
~ now ~
…shifting…adapting…developing…nurturing….learning…
~
~
~
~
~
I want to live with more happiness, contentment and a stable sense of well being…
I want to get out of my perceived or created worlds of fear and sorrow….
I’d like to let go of self limiting perceptions and beliefs…
I want to travel along a more positive “highway”…
to continue this journey that is my life….
perhaps by “taking it to the POSITIVE limits”….
exploring and going beyond any perceived limits ….
shifting, adapting, nurturing, learning
perhaps “taking it to the limit”….
of developing a continually deepening sense of wisdom, compassion and love
~
Please
…put me on that highway…
…show me a sign…
~
~
taking it to the limit one more time!
learning to… “take it to the limit” …perhaps even “going beyond…….”
embracing the beauty of living with…
….wisdom, compassion and love….

living positively….letting go of perceived “limitations…
living within a graceful flow…living within a “dance…..”
“………a dance………”
Ohhhhhh…. I soooooooo wish to “dance” again….
to dance….the amazing “dance of life….”
I used to “dance….” …I want to “dance” again!
“dancing” …living….shifting, flowing, adapting, nurturing, learning
…living…dancing…living…dancing…living…
living grace-fully again….dancing robustly again….
living with wisdom, love and compassion
dancing brightly again!
may I dance brightly!
to my own songs,
from my own heart,
along my own path,
making my own choices,
dancing with…lightness, brightness, courage and strength
may I dance brightly!

I hear drums!…I hear rhythm!
I hear…. “empowerment!”
I sing a song!…and…I dance!
As I begin to listen… I turn up the volume…
I turn it louder!…and louder!! …and louder….!!!
I dance!…with enthusiasm, strength and determination!
A bold, courageous, enthusiastic robust dance!
A dance of going beyond….going beyond limitations…going toward…life!
“please…HUSH UP!…and “DANCE” with me!”
( Actually….it’s “Shut up and Dance with me!” )
~
A fervent “request”……a plea……a shout out!….
from a more positive part of “my” mind…to another, less positive part of “my” mind
“Hush up!…and…dance with me!”
~
~
~
~
A fervent “request”……a plea……a shout out!….
from a more positive part of “my” mind…to another part of “my” mind
I sing loudly!…strongly! clearly! … with enthusiasm and determination!
singing this strong, bold, enthusiastic, courageous, determined statement!
almost like….a battle cry! …a warrior’s voice!
“…HUSH UP…and “DANCE” with me!”
…speaking from…singing from….proclaiming from…
a deeper, more insightful mind with greater wisdom, love and compassion…
a mind that dances more lightly, more brightly and more happily…
a mind that dances with lightness, brightness, courage and strength!
a mind that is dancing more richly and fully…
….with greater….
wisdom, understanding, awareness, love and compassion…
That healthy mind…
making it’s fervent request…almost a a battle cry…!
to another part of “my” mind that isn’t seeming to “get it”….
that other part of mind that often seems to be filled with strong opinions and beliefs…
a mind that actually believes all of the thoughts and stories it creates!!!
please….please…please….negative, judging, fearful mind,
…. “we”…. share a destiny…
………..please…………
a whisper…a shout…a yell….
…….just STAND UP! and “DANCE” with me!……
please….don’t get in the way of “our” progress and “our” journey….
…dance with this mind that is filled with more grace and deeper understanding…
dancing with…wisdom, compassion and love…
please, please, just LET GO!…. and “DANCE” with me!…..

I sing along with and dance to this song:
strong, strident, bossy, courageous and determined
“WE CAN DO THIS!” … “DANCE with me!”

I sing this song!…and I dance!…with enthusiasm, strength, intention and determination!
