This is my song of the moment.

It makes me happy, calm, centered and leaves me feeling loved. All my muscles loosen in my jaw and neck.

"Them," to me, are the voices within me that tell me I'm not good enough, the part of me that listens to the very very old, subconscious tapes.

The ocean, the someone watching over me, is the Holy Spirit, which ultimately is me forgiving myself. So what or who is God? God is inside me. God is me. No, I'm not God. I'm saying the being greater than myself is not outside of myself.

"I hope you know you've got the ocean blue."

Ocean blue is my color for the Virgin Mary. You know, that blue we use in the Catholic Church to represent Mary? I don't believe in the Virgin Birth. Mary is whatever is within side me that protects me, that has protected me since before I was conceived; that's the mother. The Mother.

The silence is when I'm fighting with myself. I'm not listening to the Holy Spirit. It's there but I can't hear it.
