Song/Lyrics:Lovely
By: Michelle Tumes

You're the sweet dreams that soothe me
When I can't fall asleep
You're the field in the middle of the city
When I'm rushing by at the speed of light
You're the strong resolution when I find no peace
You're the church bells ringing in the evening
When all is quiet You whisper comfort
That lifts my heart
Chorus:

Ooh You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe
A thousand times I look around me and I find

Ooh You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe
A million ways could not explain
You're lovely
You're the soft words that touch me
When I just can't speak
You're the breeze on the ocean in the morning
Reminding me to greet the day
You're the flowers I remember seeing in Italy
Colors through a golden harp
Bright and radiant, soft and fragrant
In the noon day sun, it makes me sing
I understand there may be grief

And there may be pain
But I'm aware You blind the darkness
With Who You are
Colors through a golden harp
Bright and radiant, soft and fragrant
In the noon day sun, it makes me sing
Iunderstand there may be grief
And there may be pain
But I'm aware You blind the darkness
With Who You are
Because . . .
Chorus

Yesterday night...felt very tired...just went to bed really early. Started doing prayer in my heart...reflecting all that has happened so far in my life. As I pray...I'm slowly healing my inner spirit..as I have been so busy and hectic lately. Then I went into deep sleep.


In my dream, lessons were taught to me...I forgot exactly what the lessons were.....but it was based on the "Heart Sutra". Is a very good dream! I didn't want to wake up...but in the end...still have to wake up...because is still a dream. For me...sometimes...in real life..is like a dream too...sometimes don't know what is real...and what is not any more...sometimes life seems so fake. Feelings fleeing...everything that has form in this world wouldn't last for long. The only thing that remain unchanged is our true heart....it is unchanged! What is written in the Heart Sutra is so true. Hope you've a chance to read it and reflect your daily thoughts on it...and you'll realize what it says about this world and our heart is so true.


Here is a very good article for a good read---"OUR REAL HOME" by Ajanh Chah (Read the "quotations" to get summary), is pretty good.

I saw a really sad documentary film yesterday..don't know why there's so many of this sad stories lately..slowly revealing. Is not that I purposely want to see them...is just the fact... what's happening in some parts of the world. This is a story of China..a province called "River South"--(HER NAN). Alot of people are very poor in this province, and with the blood supply of the country runing low couple years earlier...people are encouraged to sell their blood for $50 yuan (renmenbi). As you could imagine..alot of poor people went and sell their blood to get the money for maintaining their livelihood. But...many people who sold their blood for money contracted AIDS...although now selling blood for money has been made illegal..there are approximately 1,000,000 people has AIDS. But the stunning fact is.... the people are so strong ...how they can live day in and day out with this kind of determination. They try so hard to stay alive...until their last breath...to them live is so precious...and not taking it lightly. One of the children did survive one of the rare and deadly diseases... as she recalled, she cried. She told the media about how her sister sell blood to get money to cure her disease. She said her sister didn't give up on her...but she was really sad that she lost her sister because her sister contracted AIDS as well..after selling blood for money. The child who survived the rare disease is now cured...she told the media that she wants to be a doctor, to help those around her whose going through all the hardship of life.


Everytime I see this kind of documentary film..is reflection time for me again....the message across is to treasure life!! don't waste it away on unimportant and petty matters. Start treasuring each moment of your day...do not waste it on unproductive matters...may be the only thing meaningful is to start giving hope, life, light to others who are less fortunate...and slowly moving away or focus of "ME"..what I want ..What I need...etc...... becoming more selfless could be good sometimes.....and may be start from ourselves...and slowly changing how the world is right now...to be more considerate...and selfless society...better distribution of wealth and food.
