Encouragement for all you songwriters: (shared with me by a dear friend)
Singing Bowl
Begin the song exactly where you are,
Remain within the world of which you’re made.
Call nothing common in the earth or air,
Accept it all and let it be for good.
Start with the very breath you breathe in now,
This moment’s pulse, this rhythm in your blood
And listen to it, ringing soft and low.
Stay with the music, words will come in time.
Slow down your breathing. Keep it deep and slow.
Become an open singing-bowl, whose chime
Is richness rising out of emptiness,
And timelessness resounding into time.
And when the heart is full of quietness
Begin the song exactly where you are.
🙁 I can’t post my song. I had it done, but the website still wasn’t working, and I simply had to go to sleep after working 16 hours and gettig ready to work another 12 today. It’s on Soundcloud though.
Please use the form (below) to add your links – thanks!

I’m not sure what’s going on with the link/widget thing above. I might have to use a different one tomorrow so that it’s not so HUGE & BLOCKY.
Not sure why it says “Andrew Fajkus – Live Ready” but it is not my Day 5 song from last year on the link. Oh well..
drewfajkus – I understand, but no worries. I’m going to try a different linking system tomorrow because this one is so weird this year.
#6 “Be Lifted High” – I can’t comment on Vimeo but, great song!
Late nights, early mornings. Gotta love it
Is anyone else having trouble with the YouTube links? I can’t watch any of the videos, but it may just be me.
