Long Lost Blog

I just rediscovered this blog I set up several years ago and I'm thinking perhaps I will start writing here. Not for anyone else to read, but for my own satisfaction.

I'm a very different person than I was in 2006 when I posted the two songs here. I really enjoy those songs; I heard them at my church which I no longer attend and sometimes miss. Mostly I miss some of the people and the sense of belonging, but I am more happy with my spiritual practice now than I was then. I'm more comfortable with me and what I believe and what my path in life looks like.

I was recently asked if I saw myself as having a ministry and in a sense I really do. My work is a calling. I do believe I have been called to do it. I believe I am being led every day to 'do the right thing'. The work I do requires love, patience, understanding, humility and great compassion. It is important work and I feel very privileged to be able to serve the families I work with. I honestly don't think I could work the long stressful hours I do without a strong spiritual base helping me to maintain my balance. I'm not talking about religion, but rather being connected and grounded with 'something' greater than yourself. I don't think it is important what you call that 'something' as long as you realize the importance of that relationship.

Well, that is enough deep thought for one day.

Peace and Love,
Kim

Love one another

How could anyone ever tell you
You were anything less than beautiful?
How could anyone ever tell you
You were less than whole?
How could anyone fail to notice
That your loving is a miracle?
How deeply you're connected to my soul.

Kids are gonna love whom they damn well please

He is an Arab and she is a Jew,
And they don't care if that bothers you.
One may be brown, and one may be black
But when love is true, they won't hold back.

'Cause kid's are gonna love, gonna love, gonna loveKid's are gonna love, gonna love, gonna loveKid's are gonna love, gonna love, whom they damn well please.

She loves a she, he loves a he
They're thrilled to be who they turned out to be
One may marry God, one may marry poor,
Curse all you want, and then walk out that door.

'Cause kid's are gonna love, gonna love, gonna love
Kid's are gonna love, gonna love, gonna love
Kid's are gonna love, gonna love, whom they damn well please

Help them stay safe, lend them a hand
Promise never to abandon them
Love them, enjoy them, and watch them grow
Kids have angels and the angles know

'Cause kid's are gonna love, gonna love, gonna love
Kid's are gonna love, gonna love, gonna love
Kid's are gonna love, gonna love, whom they damn well please

We need more honest love,
We don't always do that so well
If we can learn to love with open arms...
Well, only time will tell. But rest assured

'Cause kid's are gonna love, gonna love, gonna love
Kid's are gonna love, gonna love, gonna love
Kid's are gonna love, gonna love, whom they damn well please

Oh those kids!
Kids are gonna love whom they damn well please.
