There is a lady who lives in your neighbor. She lives kind of near you but closer to the supermarket. You know the brown house with the white trim.
She had been promising herself for weeks she would sit down and mediate and finally last Wednesday, she did.
At first, her "to do" list keep popping into her mind, but she let it go because she knew she would have plenty of time later for all of that.
She started to go in and out of consciousness; she realized she had been falling asleep. Then she awoke hearing the very faint sounds of music. She could barely hear it. She felt draw to find the source of those beautiful sounds.
She got up from her chair, walked out her front door. It was a beautiful warm, sunny day. She stood and listened. She couldn't tell which direction it was coming from. She decided to turn right and walked for a block or so, you know, near the park. She stopped to listen, but the music was still very faint.
She decided she had turned in the wrong direction. She turned around and went, back, you know, towards the school, but has she stopped to listen, the music was just as faint.
"Well, I can't do this anymore. I need to get going", she thought. So, she headed back home. She felt pulled in two directions. Part of her needed to start making those phone calls and get ready leave, but there was a part of her that really wanted to sit back down.
"Ok, five more minutes can't hurt", she thought. She sat back down. She closed her eyes and the music was still there. Was it drawing her into it, or was she just focusing on it? She didn't know, but the music gradually became louder. As she listened, the music filled up her Soul, her mind and her body, like the soft, gentle sounds of a harp, blowing on a warm summer's breeze.
Then she heard words. It sounded like an Angel was singing to her. "Your music is inside of you." To your GodSelf always be true". Be kind; love your self and others too". To your GodSelf always be true"!
When the lady opened her eyes she knew her GodSelf had been revealed to her. She was forever changed and will always be able to hear her song.
Next time you are near her house, stop by for a visit. She would love to share her song with you. When you leave her, you will hear your own GodSelf song too.
Just listen!

You wake up and get ready for work or other commitments. You drive your kids to school and yourself to the office. Later maybe you take a quick lunch break. You work hard until 5 o'clock or later, rush to get your kids and make dinner for the family. By the time you have a moment to relax, winding down takes the form of sitting on the couch in front of the TV because it is taking your mind off your hectic life. Where is there time in your day for you?
