Thinking out loud….<\/h3>\r\n

From my coffee drinking station at the hour of coffee. \u00a0It has been quite a week. \u00a0What am I saying? \u00a0It has been quite a lot of weeks since things have felt right.<\/p>\r\n

This morning, on the radio, I heard a version of the old Shaker hymn, \u201cSimple Gifts\u201d. \u00a0You know the one, \u201c\u2018Tis a gift to be simple, \u2018tis a gift to be free, \u2018tis a gift to come down where we ought to be.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\r\n

With all songs, I don\u2019t always hear the lyrics the way they really are. \u00a0So my brain kinda fills in with what seems right to me. \u00a0Same with this tune, I hear the first part easily, then lose the words, then I hear the last line, \u201c……turning, til things come round right.\u201d \u00a0That\u2019s all I need from the song, that\u2019s what I want to share with you. \u00a0Things will come round right.<\/p>\r\n

I have to laugh at myself about another song that I have loved for years. \u00a0\u201cThe White Rabbit\u201d by Jefferson Airplane, sung by Grace Slick. Now, even back when the song first appeared, many moons ago, I never really understood the words in the song other than it was about Alice In Wonderland. \u00a0The pace and the strength of the singing voice was captivating. \u00a0But my favorite thing was the last line. \u00a0I always heard it as \u201cKeep your head!\u201d, repeated. \u00a0Made sense that way to me\u2014you know with the red queen running around in the story lopping off heads, it seemed like pretty good advice. \u00a0Back in the 60\u2019s it seemed like good advice. \u00a0Apparently, that is not the real lyric. \u00a0I looked it up recently and found it was something completely different (which I do not care to remember). \u00a0Again, there was my brain filling in with what made sense to me. \u00a0I\u2019ve decided to remember it the way I like. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n

\u201cKeep your head!\u201d \u00a0Still damn good advice!<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
