The Next words of wisdom, are not mine. One of our favorite music band, Arcade Fire, in their new album, WE, have lyrics in each song, reflecting on the world as it is now; sometimes amazing provoking food for thought, sometimes purely inspiring and sometimes, as in the following song, asking, demanding, almost begging us, to unconditionally love….OUR KIDS!!!!! There are many ways to show unconditional love, but in this song, few basic reminders are highlighted. Coaching our kids to trust their heart, to follow what’s in it, to know their unique and essential individuality, and to ride the waves of life with it!!!! That pain is inevitable and it is “ok to be sad”. That at times, they will lose and find their friends again and again. With hard work, with heart and with soul. To know we are always there to teach all we know and to love and support for the remaining we don’t, and to forever be honest about the two. These are NONNEGOTIABLE!!!!
Here is UNCONDITIONAL I:
Lookout kid, trust your heart
You don’t have to play the part they wrote for you
Just be true
There are things that you could do
That no one else on earth could ever do
But I can’t teach you, I can’t teach it to you.
Lookout kid, trust you mind
But you can’t trust it every time
You know it plays tricks on you
and it don’t give a damn if you are happy or you’re sad
but if you’ve lost it, don’t feel bad
‘Cause it’d alright to be sad
…………………………………
Lookout kid, trust your soul
It ain’t hard to rock n’ roll
You know how to move your hips
And you know God is cool with it
But some people want the rock without the roll
but we all know, there’s no God without SOUL
Right
…………………
And if you feel it, its fine
I give you everything that’s mine
I give you my heart and my PRECIOUS TIME
…………………….
You want to play it loud in your house!!!
Get reminded of how to love, the power of love…..the essence of the journey we are all here for!!! ❤️❤️❤️
