The World Touches Me

Here are the lyrics for a new song I just completed.

The World Touches Me

What I do see is more than I see everyday
What I do feel is more than I sense
Sometimes the world touches me
Keeps me company while I think

I shoot out thoughts like a Tommy gun
Words pour out in rapid runs
Painting the world that is me
Making the world I am to be

Wonder fills my joy
Laughter seasons the stew I’m simmering
Every day is a feast
So much to taste that sates and awakens
Sometimes the world touches me
Talks to me while I think

Sharing all our days
Gives my life dimension , widens my perception
Listening to the rain
The rhythm is dreamy soothes like honey

Every breath I take
Is filled with wonder new worlds to  uncover
Everything takes shape
Random seeks order when the world touches me

This lyric fits well into my current journey into learning how to purr. While I like to celebrate life in its visceral reality there are many who yearn to flee our mortal joy and find solace in spiritual transcendental ideals. On one hand such ideals yearn for the completely other plane of sacred perfection while often at the same time commanding its adherents to be completely absorbed in the present.

In up coming posts I hope to point out what I find to be potentially harmful in these viewpoints as well as their inherent contradictions.

Till then.
