    the secret fountain

    there are two fountains

    that give me drink

    one is shared and every sip takentoo is given to my brother

    ten times over

    there is another fountain

    in which I can drink

    in the shady hidden part of my mind

    where I want to believe

    no one can see

    now I know it tells me lies

    but even still do I sometimes find myself

    tempted to want to believe

    I could be separate

    from that which Is me

    let me be clear with myself

    the Word is the voice

    of an idea which springs from the Creatorof all things

    first given to my mind to simply choose

    from where I would drink

    let me use my mind correctly

    and let me use my Words in following

    for words heard and shared

    become real as they are connected

    to Truth

    let me be clear as no longer

    can I even fake joy this shady fountain

    can quench my thirst

    let us walk forward in our minds

    let us speak forward in our voices

    we are ready not just for some healing

    but full restoration

    we will not attempt govern what we do not knowas we only know how far we have come,

    blessed do we look back on yesterday

    though we are a little hesitant

    may we use our words to remind our brother

    we are not alone

    and the fountain of peace awaits

    for every one of us restored

    too would restore our brother

    Amen

    I have a friend in Houston

    and she thanked me for

    a song today

    I wish she could see the boost

    of encouragement and light

    her words brought to my day

    our prayers are the wind

    that carry our brother's passage

    our words are the fuel

    our actions are the reminder

    that we do not stand alone

    what we cannot see with our eyes

    is the infusion of the Holy Spirit

    spreading like wildfire between

    those who give and receive

    in the mind of Christ

    we all have a friend in Houston

    each more worthy of our greatest blessingsthan we could ever know

    may God direct our prayers

    our thoughts and our words of light

    as we lift each other unto love

    even when darkness is at hand

    for in truth all things

    even those lacking the will of Christcan be seen as a plant thirsting for water

    and our joy comes from giving water

    especially when one is used to receiving only dirt

    together we have a friend in Christ

    and unto the world do we bless

    may we be the blessing our brothers seek

    and fear not the sometimes difficult work

    to release our fear and offer

    more and more giving our mind

    unto the will of Christ

    on perfection and grievances

    the attempt to stop all thoughts

    of attack from the mind

    feels futile in the beginning

    like cockroaches they will creep out

    and attempt to block the sun shining

    on our own heart and too

    of our brother

    the next time would our mind

    will to attack a beautiful seed

    planted and striving to shine

    may we remember how many have stood

    in its light already

    for every child on this world has known

    this pain

    may we most of all stop harming ourselves

    let us be gentle and remove no light

    but accept the will of our Christas we are nurtured with Him to love

    next time

    may the next time we notice ourselves

    shading a beautiful seed

    let us turn the error into nothing short

    of a blessing

    in our minds may we immediatelypray and heal that which we shaded

    and remember in this way we can be perfect

    with a small error we offer ten blessings

    with restoration do we remain lights of the world

    we were not asked to be perfect

    but to hold no grievances

    upon our gentle self

    or brother.

    Amen

    the healing session

    there is no place or time

    in all of creation in which

    darkness cannot be replacedby light

    not one speck of grief

    held against another brother

    could prevented from becoming

    into a blessing of peace

    if these words that follow

    bring tears of joyous release,we would only accept and say

    Amen

    suffocating a world of separation

    and return by that which is greater

    to our rightful Home in Christ

    now setting the captives free

    may today be a chance to heal

    and not to believe our own ego's lie,

    that we are not worthy,

    of being needed

    and so we ask

    where would You have me go

    what would You have me say,

    learn, see, hear...

    all things unto You

    for this is my peace

    and joy

    Amen and with love in Christ

    but something bursting inside

    he cannot but give

    he does not want you to listen

    he wants you to singand longs for your

    beautiful song

    Amen and in Christ

    a day of release

    today I ask a simple thing

    let me be a warrior

    and protect what I hold dear

    let me not use my mind for attack

    and notice when it wishes to condemn

    both my brother

    and myself

    instead may my mind be used

    for that of your Holy purpose

    not to tearbut to heal

    may my feet not lead me astray

    but to where you would have me go

    may you stand along my side

    as I attempt to not poison my body

    with things of man that disable

    health and mind

    if I could say these things I have been

    able to do alone I would be lying

    and so this simple prayer

    make me a warrior

    one who keeps my people safe

    yet first let me learn

    to not attack myself

    no longer would just a light be enough

    shine through me,

    with me, above me, beside me,

    beyond me, and through me,

  • 8/10/2019 Songs From a Quest to Peace Volume 5

    15/27

    and with no more words I would say

    In Christ,

    Amen

    a friend among us

    it is a powerful moment when we remember the truth

    of why we are here

    and the reason would fall nowhere shortof changing the world

    that it would be more free

    more loving and more conscious

    and we gladly play whatever seemingly

    small or large part Christ would use us in

    Our eyes can see very little

    and we have accepted one who sees moreand we are willing to be used for this purpose

    unto healing and love

    every organism has its parts

    that make the whole

    so easily does man not understand

    where we stand in relation to the body of the earth

    all things stand as both a part and as a whole

    most of all let us be the ones

    who remember the Holy purpose of our brother

    even when they have forgotten what it is

    in our finest moments we could never correctly estimate

    the value of anothers gift

    thus is the power of Light and Love

    one plus one is not two but more

    we will be a friend among the world

    we will refuse to see a brother for less

    than Christ would see them to be

    an we will not attack ourselves for just one day

    so we may be freed of self-impositions and fear

    A moment of happiness

    let happy be seen

    as it is

    the waves bring beautiful shells

    to the shores of our feet

    and smile we do

    and may sadness be seen

    too as the same wave taking

    its shells back to the sea

    for they were not meant for us

    to hold forever, anyway

    as we smile

    as we frown

    through the waves

    let us not be defined by these moments of waves

    but let our hearts rest deep

    in the ocean

    in peace

    unshaken by trinkets

    would we remain in the great stillness

    of the truth beyond the surface

    let us be the reminders

    for any brother tired

    of trading shells to seek

    what cannot be foundamong waves

    looking up from down

    from strength to weakness

    I lie for many moments waiting for return

    and I ask for help

    I ask for help and I could see

    these words meant

    to be written

    why would I need to only share

    when the wind sails through my lips

    for that would be

    a lie

    I am meant to speak the truth

    when the night is still and

    tomorrow does not come soon enough

    equally

    when we are beaten is when we shine

    I begin to feel tears

    we are the warriors refusing

    to retreat forever into a the night

    we have lost to many times

    and hid among alcohol and all forms of temporary aid

    attempting to numb the calling

    but numb it we did not

    for we have accepted the callingand accepted no longer

    can we hide

    the bravest warrior you ever saw

    was the one you will see tonight in the mirror

    when the world was quiet and noticed you not

  • 8/10/2019 Songs From a Quest to Peace Volume 5

    20/27

    20

    and the wind did not speak a word to your heart

    yet it was you who refused

    to give less than you could

    and so you waited one more nightone more minute

    as all of time is just one more something

    for the warm breeze to return

    Rome was not built in a day

    but it could be destroyed in one

    is what we are not reminded

    stay strong my warrior

    stay strong for the return

    and the wind you shall hear

    soon enough

    Amen

    reclaiming shadows to shine

    when a being does not know what they are

    they walk alone and afraid

    and fears build in that being's selfon every layer and level it carries

    even a smallest fragment of thought

    would we recognize as simply incorrect

    cannot be lit by the sun for it hides in the shadow

    to understand humans we simply remember our own past

    the fear of being abandoned as a child

    unloved and unacceptedthe fear of being laughed

    not fast enough, not smart enough

    these fears hid within our being

    taking precious space and energy from how brightly

    we may shine

    we the seekers of truth

    would leave no space untilledand accept the truth as our love wills

    us to give more to our brothers

    and ourselves

    one day

    we may remember a most painful thing

    a moment in time beyond what we know to be as time itself

    as today we blame the worldand what we do not have on our misgivings

    in this dream we may see the moment

    we turned our back on our brother

    we can see his face as we shamefully crept into the shadows

    In this face is how we may see Christ,

    for we are all as one

  • 8/10/2019 Songs From a Quest to Peace Volume 5

    22/27

    22

    we still see our brother's arm extending

    and tear falling for our return

    but we did not,

    and darkness did we find for a very long time

    the time has come

    our brother has returned

    Christ stands to reclaim what is His

    and thankfully may we be restored

    bit by bit our memory returns

    our Father needs his children whole

    restored fully in their mind and heart

    with not one fear remaining to distort

    the brave one's most willing

    filled with love return to full rebirth

    where they may be used unto strength

    to change and to heal the world

    it would be an error to believe

    anything short of this would be God's plan

    and the degree we can be used

    is measured by the amount we are healed

    as the space we hold but increases

    do not be afraid to tell the truth

    do not be afraid to admit

    why you have come

    you are not alone but with many

    and those who stand with you do not need

    a body or a phone to be your friend in God

    today let us be willing

    to have been mistaken

    and be healed

    an old memory

    one day on a long walk

    I became angry

    I blamed the snowand blamed the cold

    I had no home

    and fault was spread

    that this earth holds enough

    for all of its creatures

    had slipped my vision

    and narrowly made my path in the snow

    to suit my anger

    but one day I came upon

    something in my mind that was so strange

    it would require explanation

    it was an old agreement

    made with a part of myself

    like the great Oz standing behind the curtain

    of my mind

    I was not supposed to look for it

    but found what I was once most afraid to see

    what I was in the hidden parts

    what was dark and ugly and frightening

    turned into a small child crying

    though it was not ready

    for my comfort

    the ego was a ferocious thing

    but most fragile of all I have come upon

    no part of a man will leave

    so it will remain yet can change slowly

    as we have our highest

    do we have our lowest

    let us will to fearlessly see

    what is inside so no longerwould we be afraid of our own

    mind

    Amen

    The Old Indian Dude smiles with you

    My son I remember so many years ago

    you with your big paper pad

    and pen with many colors

    you would ask me a question in one color

    and write down what it said in another

    still just a boy at the time

    yes we have walked many miles now

    tonight when you reached for me

    I smiled with your heart again

    I have watched you from afarand gladly stand by your side for this writing

    I have never told you my name

    and may never will

    I smile still because you have always called me

    "the old Indian dude"

    and that is how I know your call

    many years ago I rememberyou were seeking your eyes

    behind your eyes

    and now the time has come

    and you are ready to look again

    I can still remember your shock when those beings

    of light and great beauty

    fell to darkness before your eyes when you searched them for truthas love was not what they held dear

    but lies

    my son we know each other by how we feel

    to one another

    I have told you small untruths from time to time

  • 8/10/2019 Songs From a Quest to Peace Volume 5

    27/27

    to see if you were able to catch them

    all beings are capable of error

    or at least being misunderstood

    you still remember the day after 36 yearsof being not ready to share your words

    when it changed

    it was not because you could not be in error

    but because your heart was strong and spoke

    as a reminder of your Home

    and the Laws of what gives life to all

    and stand eternally true

    As you open your eyes

    you may see many things

    some of which would bring hate

    to a heavy heart

    let no man's lies fall upon your heart

    but repel them with your awareness

    let no man's hate or darkness

    turn you from the breath that would heal

    most of all remember

    I am only one of countless

    who stand by you and all who walk with Love

    both the seen and unseen

    allies through the warm summer days

    and cold winter nights

    I am one more brother with you

    and I am proud of how far you have come

    your Friend, the old Indian Dude

    who smiles with you
