Nicole said about 1 hour ago:

Genevieve Guimond plays solo Bach on cello

Ok, ok, I admit I am not one little bit objective about this 17-year old girl, who happens to be the daughter of my closest friend, but listen to her for yourself, the poise, the mastery and tell me if she isn't really one of the most talented young cellists to emerge on the scene today… She doesn't just have technical excellence but plays with soul and beauty. She has had very good teachers - for most of the past years, Yuli Turovsky of the renowned i musici de montreal.

Peace,

Nicole

I Love U, Baby... but Not like I Love My Guitar

U couldn't do it all by Urself
U had 2 go and get Somebody Else
U're High enuff 2 call me but U can't reach the bar
I Love U, Baby... but Not like I Love My Guitar
No... Not like I Love My Guitar

I tried 2 warn U that it's hard 2 B a Star
Especially when U're driving other people's car
Woulda Gave U mine Girl but U took it 2 far
I Love U, Baby, just Not like I Love My Guitar
Not like I Love My Guitar

I know U Love Me and U wanna B Friends
And if U don't at least U need 2 Pretend
We're still 2gether even if we don't get that far
I love U, Baby... but Not like I Love This Guitar
I love U, Baby... Not like I Love My Guitar

I Love U Baby and I Wish U Well
I'll write a letter when I learn how 2 spell
Until that day, U can go 2 Hell
I love U, Baby... U know the Rest

BECOME LIKE A CHILD AGAIN

http://BabasBoy.gaia.com — Sat, 21 Jul 2007 04:01:06 GMT

               POSITIVE DAILY INSPIRATION
                           July 20, 2007

               BECOME LIKE A CHILD AGAIN

Jesus talks to the disciples about true greatness,
in Matthew Chapter 18:1-3,

   At that time the disciples came to Jesus and
   asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of
   heaven?"
   He called a child, whom he put among them,
   and said, "Truly I tell you, unless you change
   and become like children, you will never enter
   the kingdom of heaven."

   Imagine for a moment, this happening in the board
   room of a corporation, or even a church. The
   members of the board are all eagerly asking who
   is the greatest, who will be promoted, who will
   receive the largest compensation. And the CEO,
   brings a child inside, from off the street,
   and says to the entire group, "This one is the
   greatest !"

   To be like a child, is to go through life with a
   feeling of excitement and adventure.
   To be like a child is to be teachable.
   To be like a child one is no longer cynical.
   To be like a child a person is full of play.
   To be a child is to have the vision and
   perception to see the wonder in the ordinary.

   Jesus teaches that play is as important,
   in spirituality, as work. He said as strongly
   as He could, you MUST become like a little child
   again or you will NEVER enter The Kingdom of
   Heaven.

   The Kingdom of Heaven that he was talking about
   is more than an after death proposition; it is a
   state of consciousness; it is a heaven on earth,
   in your own life, in this moment of time.

   I often get a lot of concerned letters about how
   hard I work, I do work hard, harder than I've
   ever worked, and it's easy to see the evidence
   of the work in prayers, the Positive Daily
   Inspiration and Positive Written Sermons.
   But what people do not see is how hard I play.
   I play continuously and so should you. I travel,
   I ride my motorcycle, work on the cars, love to
   go to the movies, and go down an occasional slide
   in a playground.

   Life is GR8 !!!!

   This e-mail was sent on this Friday for a reason,
   because I challenge you to make this Saturday a
   play day. Follow Jesus in becoming like a little
   child again. It will recharge you to accomplish
   twice as much in half the time when you're back
   into your adult role.

   Below, is an official document that I invite you
   to copy and give to your overly serious friends:

         I TENDER MY RESIGNATION AS AN ADULT

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as
an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the
responsibilities of an 8 year-old again.

I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a
four star restaurant.

I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and
make a sidewalk with rocks.

I want to think M&Ms are better than money because
you can eat them.

I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a
lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's
day.

I want to return to a time when life was simple;
when all you knew were colors, multiplication
tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn't
bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't
know and you didn't care.

All you knew was to be happy because you were
blissfully unaware of all the things that should
make you worried or upset.

I want to think the world is fair.

That everyone is honest and good.

I want to believe that anything is possible. I want
to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be
overly excited by the little things again.

I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to
consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork,
depressing news, how to survive more days in the
month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills,
gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones.

I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a
kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the
imagination, humankind, and making angels in
the snow.

So . . . here's my checkbook and my car-keys, my
credit card bills and my 401K statements. I am
officially resigning from adulthood.

And if you want to discuss this further, you'll
have to catch me first, cause........

       ......"Tag! You're it."

(If this Saturday is already taken by serious
adult commitments, agree with me to make an
appointment with yourself, for one full day,
within the next seven days, JUST for a play.)
The cell phone will be off. The Blackberry will
be turned off. So is the computer (I can't believe
what I just told you to do) but you will find
Positive Daily Inspiration waiting for you when
you return.

         God Bless You! Make it a GREAT day!

         Reverend Christopher Ian Chenoweth

   "O Lord, give me a place at Thy Lotus Feet.
    Keep me always in Thy company.
     Give me sincere and pure love for Thee."

Be Good To Yourself

Journey :
Song Lyrics

Runnin' out of self-control
Gettin' close to an overload
Up against a no win situation
Shoulder to shoulder, push and shove
I'm hangin' up my boxin' gloves
I'm ready for a long vacation

Be good to yourself when, nobody else will
Oh be good to yourself
You're walkin' a high wire, caught in a cross fire
Oh be good to yourself

When you can't give no more
They want it all but you gotta say no
I'm turnin' off the noise that makes me crazy
Lookin' back with no regrets
To forgive is to forget
I want a little piece of mind to turn to

Be good to yourself when, nobody else will
Oh be good to yourself
You're walkin' a high wire, caught in a cross fire
Oh be good to yourself
Be good to yourself when, nobody else will

Makes Me Wonder
Maroon 5 Song Lyrics:

[Verse]
I wake up with blood-shot eyes
Struggled to memorize
The way it felt between your thighs
Pleasure that made you cry
Feels so good to be bad
Not worth the aftermath, after that
After that
Try to get you back

[Bridge]
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you

[Chorus]
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
(Yeah)
So this is goodbye

[Verse]
God damn, my spinning head
Decisions that made my bed
Now I must lay in it
And deal with things I left unsaid
I want to dive into you
Forget what you're going through
I get behind, make your move
Forget about the truth

[Bridge]
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you

[Chorus 1 + 2]
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try (yeah)
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye

[Breakdown]
I've been here before
One day a week
And it won't hurt anymore
You caught me in a lie
I have no alibi
The words you say don't have a meaning
Cause..

[Bridge]
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you and I...
and so this is goodbye

[Chorus 1 + 2]
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you,
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true
Anymore Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye
So this is goodbye, yeah (x 3)
(Oh no)

Without Soul = Nothing !!!!

"No one can understand the sound of a drum,
without understanding both the drum and the drummer.
      No one can understand the sound of a conch shell,
without understanding the shell and the one who
blows it.
        No one can understand the sound of a lute,
without understanding both the lute and the one who
plays it.
        As there can be no water without the sea,
       no touch without the skin,
       no smell without the nose,
      no taste without the tongue,
        no sound without the ear,
       no thought without the mind,
        no work without the hands,
        and no walking without feet,
       so there can be nothing without the soul."

     "Let every beat of my heart be a new word
      in my endless love lyric to Thee.
      May every sound from my lips carry secret
      vibrations of Thy voice.
      Let my every thought be bliss-saturated
      with Thy presence.
      May every act of my will be impregnated
      with Thy divine vitality.
      Ornament with Thy grace my every concept,
      every expression, every ambition.
      O Divine Sculpter,
      chisel Thou my life to Thy design!"

          The Stars (and God) Always Exist

     "You see many stars in the sky at night,
       but not when the sun rises.
       Can you therefore say that there are no
       stars in the heavens during the day?
       Because you cannot find God in the days
       of your ignorance,
       say not that there is no God."

We All Dream of Love

We all dream of love
We all dream of meeting someone
Sent here from above
We all dream of love
We all dream of meeting someone
Sent here from above

But if no one comes we must endure
Have faith though we're not really sure
Cause what else can you do
Until you meet that one who dreams of you

We all hope someday
We will fall in love and it will never go away
We all hope someday
We will fall in love and it will never go away

But if you fall down you must stay strong
Just get back up and sing your song
Cause what else can you do
Until you meet that one who hopes for you

Hmmm,hmmm,hmmm...

But while we wait let's still have fun
and practice for the time to come
Cause what else can you do
Until you meet that one who dreams of you
Until you meet that one who dreams of you

We all dream of love
We all dream of meeting someone

Always In My Dreams

http://BabasBoy.gaia.com — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 17:41:48 GMT

Always In My Dreams

I dreamt last night I was the tear from your face
That fell upon the page
You wrote me yesterday telling me goodbye
And in my sleep I felt you near me
The first time I saw clearly
The pain behind your eyes

When the day is done
The moon bids well the sun
Starlights fill my eyes
Like hearts on Valentines
Lovers you and I forever in my dreams
Lovers we will be always in my dreams

The funny thing is that I love you
And love is truly blind
I didn't realize love was so unkind
For they say only fools believe
In what they can not see
Sometimes it takes a heartache
To open up your eyes

When the day is done
The moon bids well the sun
Starlight fill my eyes
Like hearts on Valentines
Lovers you and I forever in my dreams
Lovers we will be always in my dreams

And though I know it's for the better
It's hard to say goodbye
Please hold me one more time
Only fools and kings make real their wildest dreams

When the day is done
The moon bids well the sun
Starlight fill my eyes
Like hearts on Valentines
Lovers you and I forever in my dreams
Lovers we will be always in my dreams

GOD the MUSICIAN

http://BabasBoy.gaia.com — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 15:05:26 GMT

                 "God the Musician,
       knows that music is spirituality,
       music is immortality.
   Man the musician thinks that music is sensuality,
   music is mortality.
                  God, the Musician,
             knows that His music is
      His Transcendental Self-communion.
   Man, the musician, thinks that his music is his
   world's life-long companion.
                  God, the Musician
         is divinely and eternally mysterious.
   Man, the musician, is humanly and temporarily
   marvellous.
   God's music tells us that music is the
   realisation of the universal soul.
   Man's music tells us that music is the
   aspiration of the individual soul.
   God's music runs from the height to depth.
   Man's music runs from the breadth to the length.
   On the height, God's music is His vision.
   In the depth, God's music is His reality.
   In the breadth, man's music is his crying soul.
   In the length, man's music is his victory's goal.
   God's music is the constant expansion of
   His soul's delight.
   Man's music is the preparation of his life's
   hunger of perpetual joy.
   God's music kills God with its infinite luminosity.
   Man's music kills man with its undying curiosity.
   In the spiritual world next to meditation is
   music, the breadth of music.
   Meditation is silence, energising and fulfilling.
   Silence is the eloquent expression of the
   inexpressible.

   "After silence, that which comes nearest to
    expressing the inexpressible is music."

                             Sri Chinmoy

Harmony of the Soul

http://BabasBoy.gaia.com — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 15:01:27 GMT

                         Harmony of the Soul

   "...I should like to say that the true harmony
       of music comes from the harmony of the soul.
      That music alone can be called real which
      comes from the harmony of the soul, its true
      source, and when it comes from there it must
       appeal to all souls...
      It would be no exaggeration if I said that
      music alone can be the means by which the
       souls of races, nations and families, which
       are today so apart, may one day be united...
      Music is not expressed through language,
      but through beauty of rhythm and tone which
      reach far beyond language."

                            A JOYFUL NOISE

     "The chaos on this planet is due to the music
      that musicians are playing, that they are
      forced to play by some who just think of
      money and don't realize that music is a
      spiritual language and it represents the
      people of earth.
      When musicians are compelled to play anything,
      it goes straight to the throne of the Creator
      of the Universe, and that is how He sees you,
      according to your music.
      Because, see, music is a universal language
      and what you cause musicians to play, that's
      what goes straight to the Creator as your
      personal ambassador and personal nemesis."

A KINDLY LOOK

http://BabasBoy.gaia.com — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 14:45:08 GMT

                          A KINDLY LOOK

   What use is a melody in an unmusical song?
   What use are eyes which express no kindness?

   Other than a facial appearance, what do eyes
   With no quality of kindness really do?

   A kindly look is the ornament of the eyes.
   Without kindness the eyes are two unsightly sores.
