letting-go inspiration return
When inspiration does not come, I go for a walk, go to the movie, talk to a friend, let go... The muse is bound to return again, especially if I turn my back!
song too-much planes
I don't know where my songs come from... If I knew, I'd know too much, more than we are allowed on this plane.
dream past giving
I had some wonderful dreaming meetings. I can't tell you specifically what they've been in the recent months. In the past they've been verbal kinds of messages that he needed to give me. Now they're more dreams of his presence.
sorry fun writing
Writing anything is terribly hard but, alas for me, because I am addicted, a heck of a lot of fun. I often am sorry I ever started writing prose, because it is so hard. But I can't stop.
song believe heart
The poetry and the songs that you are suppose to write, I believe are in your heart. You just have to open up your heart and not be afraid to get them out.
stronger gone killing
I've gone through many, many things. I tell you something, that if it doesn't kill you, you get stronger.
heart artist shining
Rachael Sage is a marvelous young artist- and I am a fan!! 'Haunted by You' has a beauty that shines through her lyrics and melodies-- poignant, tender and tough. These are stories from the heart that will lift you up and carry you to places you had never dreamed.
soul pleasure my-soul
I had sold my soul for pleasure.
suicide fighting criminals
We have to fight off the demons that have been hanging around suicide for centuries.
heart years water
When we sing, our hearts can lift and fly, over the troubled waters and over the years,
way making-time timeless
I have tried, in all the ways I can, to make timeless music.
coffee passion ideas
I sang in the coffee houses . . . in the early 60's with no idea of success in terms of records or television. I just thought I was a storyteller. I had this deep, bassy voice. But I had incredible passion for the music I was singing.
depression suicide meditation
Recovering from the suicide of a loved one, you need all the help you can get, so I very much recommend a meditation program. The whole picture of how to recover from this has to do with body, mind, and spirit. That's applicable to any kind of depression.
mother father play
I always sang when I was little and my father, who was a great influence on me, also had a wonderful voice. He and my mother really encouraged me to sing and play the piano. They were always very supportive.
