 |  Blogging about all things poetry - starting with 30 days and 30 poems |
| March 1, 2020 I am going to go for a stretch her and use some lyrics. I hope that is okay. I am making the transition from last month's Soundtrack of my Life blog to this one. The poem, or lyric, in this case, that best describes my mood today is... Francesca Battistelli's Keep Me Guessing. I have included the YouTube video as well. It is Sunday and I am in a worship song mood. So this one speaks to me on so many levels. As of late, I have been seeking... well, maybe I have always been a seeker, but right now I am trying to integrate my Christian views with meditation. I believe I am making some headway. Spirit lives in us. It is God's gift to us. This Spirit, the Holy Spirit, was bestowed on us after Jesus died on the cross. With Sajaha Yoga it is believed that this Energy, or Spirit or Chi, resides within the sacrum bone at the base of our pelvis. (Sacrum sounds like sacred). When we are born, it is placed there and children (up to 12 when the frontal bones of your head close) are very open to the experience of living in the moment - this is the gift of Spirit. As we age, we tend to close off and we need to reawaken this energy. We can do this by practicing mindful awareness and meditating. That may sound all so New Agey, but I have come to understand that what I perceive is similar to other spiritual practices, but is just called something different. With meditation, we experience moments of enlightenment and connection to something far greater than ourselves. We can ask that something - either Spirit, Chi or Energy - to help us with a concern. This is similar to prayer and letting it go and letting God deal with it. This song reminds me that God is in control and I can let go and let him guide me. That does not mean I throw up my hands and sit vacantly. It means I keep the lines of communication open, I work with the energy (or Spirit) that flows through me, and I listen to the still small voice. Then I act. By stepping back and listening to something far Greater, I am able to feel more at peace with the decisions of my life. God wants the best for me... but to know what that is, I need to tune in. "I don't know how the story ends, but I'll be alright cause you own it, I don't know where the highway bends, but I'm doing just fine, cause your're in control even when I don't know where my life's gonna go." Keeping Me Guessing by Francesca Battistelli Coffee cup waking me up I gotta board a plane And fly away sometimes it feels like I'm going at the speed of light Can't relax I'm movin' to fast I wanna find the gold But I don't have a map I wish that I could know What you've got in store for me I try and try to read your mind But I forget that patience is a virtue Your teachin' me to hold on tight And I don't know how the story ends But I'll be alright cause you own it I don't know where the highway bends But I'm doing just fine Cause your in control Even when I don't know Where my life's gonna go You're keeping my guessing Slow me down, show me around I wanna see the world that I've been without I am here and now the future is out of my hands I trust in you and how you move I won't forget that patience is a is a virtue You're teaching me to hang on tight Cause I don't know how the story ends But I'll be alright cause you own it And I don't know where the highway bends But I'm doin' just fine Cause your in control Even when I don't know Where my life's gonna go You're keeping me guessing Seasons come and seasons go But you decide And I don't know how the story ends But ill be alright cause you own it I don't know where the highway bends But I'm doing just fine And I don't know how the story ends But ill be alright cause you own it I don't know where the highway bends But I'm doing just fine You're in control Even when I don't know Where my life's gonna go You're keeping me guessing You're keeping me guessing Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Ben Glover / Francesca Battistelli Keeping Me Guessing lyrics © Warner Chappell Music, Inc.
