Ocean Of Dreams | 5/28/08-6/22/08 | Song #382
Sometimes I feel so fragile
That the merest hint of a breeze
Could pick me up and scatter me
Across the ocean of dreams…
Sometimes I cannot find
The strength to smile
And I am filled with dis-ease
Then a look from you
Could shatter me
Across the ocean of dreams
Across the ocean of dreams (X3)
Sometimes I feel like I’m made of glass
Sometimes I feel like I’m never gonna last
And I want to see you…one more time…before I go
Yes I want to see you…one more time…before I go
Across the ocean of dreams (X3)
And then I remember
As I stumble through the shards
That I assemble myself
From my dreams
And I decide what they mean…
(and it lifts me up)
Across the ocean of dreams (X3)
Sometimes I feel like I’m made of glass
And I was born To allow the light to pass
Right through me To illuminate your eyes
Let the light through me to illuminate the skies
Across the ocean of dreams (X3)
Sometimes I feel so powerful
That I can smash right through
Any obstacle that blocks my way
Or obscures what is true…
Across the ocean of dreams (X3)
Sometimes I feel like I’m made of glass
And I was born to allow the love to pass
Right through me to illuminate your eyes
Let the love through me to illuminate the skies
Let the love through me to illuminate your eyes
Let the love through me to illuminate the skies
Across the ocean of dreams
(X3 high intensity, then 1x soft and low)
Commentary: This song brings to light a process of healing and transformation that epitomizes the NLP process. It starts with a frank acknowledgment of pain and struggle. Then, in the middle of the song the very image of fragility, feeling like glass gets turned on it’s head. Instead of it being about being fragile or brittle or broken it becomes a powerful thing. The ability to be transparent. Glass may be fragile but it also allows light to pass through it. So what starts out as a defeat, as a giving up song becomes a song of empowerment and victory. This song reminded me once again that the very writing process that songs emerge from is inherently healing for me. The next step ( the one that has eluded me for 30 years) is to share it congruently with other people who can get value and healing from listening or singing along.

When You Walk Through Roses
Saw some incredibly beautiful Roses the other day…reminded me of this song from my Eyes On The Horizon CD.
When You Walk Through Roses | 2/9/2004 | Song # 336
When you walk through roses
Do you feel the thorns
Or do you see the blossoms
In spite of what you’ve torn?
Can you catch a glimpse of heaven
In a drop of dew?
Or your reflection
In the people around you?
Refrain:
We get what we focus on
So focus in on what you want
Focus in on me, focusing my love on you…
If you cried a river
Would it feel much better
Than if you laughed the ocean
And then chose to dive right in?
When you hear a jazz band
Do you hear the bass or the horns?
And if somebody asked you
Could you tell them why you were born?
Refrain:
If I wrapped my arms around you
Would you feel constrained
Or would you feel connected
And choose freely to remain?
If I then released you
And then danced away
Would you chose to feel abandoned
Or would you see it as a chance to play?
From my Eyes On The Horizon CD.

(The Kathy MacAfee Song)
Motivation
It’s concentrated inspiration put into action
Its 10,000 steps in the right direction
It’s a goal on the horizon that you always keep in sight
It’s taking a chance on a dance at the leading edge of life
Motivation
It’s what you said to yourself this morning that got you out of bed
It’s focusing on the things you want to do before you’re dead
It’s a quiet kind of power that grinds down walls or goes around them
It’s the ability to see opportunities where everyone else sees problems
Refrain:
Focus in on who you truly are
Aim high for one specific star
Stop trying to be everything to everyone
Focus in on who you truly are
Aim high for one specific star
Then take a deep breath… and get it done
Bridge:

Motivation
It’s noticing the grass is just as green over here on your side
It’s thinking the kinds of thoughts that open the world up wide
It’s standing strong in the moment you decided
To call upon the deep resources you always had inside

Lift Me Up | Song # 171 | 7/20/91
I know you’re out there some where, you dancing warrior
I know you have a message for me like some mystic courier
When you call I get so far away, I get so out of sorts
You’re more patient than a rock, wiser than a tree,
Cooler than a corpse!
Refrain:
Lift me up into the devastating stillness of your eyes
Lift me up onto the rooftops and release me to the skies
Life me up into the lightness till the heaviness subsides
Lift me up…Lift me up…Lift me up…
A flower is a soldier and a butterfly is a thief
A sidewalk is a desert that heaves and buckles in the heat
My thirst is like a canyon and I cannot find relief
So I pray for a cooling breeze to blow on these melting city streets
Refrain:
Bridge:
Love is tenderness, love is war
Love is loneliness, love is more
Love is magical, love is a chore
Love is the ceiling and love is the floor
A crow can wear a thousand masks but a sparrow merely sings
The world is more than what we see and every thought has wings
I challenge you to answer me and tell me what it means
Instead you dare me to wait like glass and see what the Spirit brings
Refrain:

Commentary: This song is from my Visions & Voices CD and is heavily influenced by the writings of Carlos Castaneda. Far from being some weird new age mumbo jumbo I found the concepts contained in his books to be crystal clear and practical for helping one get one’s head out of one’s butt! One of the key concepts was the step by step elimination of self importance and self pity. Indulging in self pity sucks tremendous amounts of energy from us and is the antithesis of what a spiritual warrior is all about. One of the Toltec challenges given to Castaneda by his teacher, Don Juan Matus, was to erase personal history. Castaneda was left to his own devices to figure out how to do that. I believe NLP (neuro linguistic programming) is “how” to erase personal history. By that I mean NLP gives us specific and precise tools to clear the negative and heavy influence of our past. You’ve heard someone say “He has a lot of baggage.” haven’t you? Lift me up is all about letting go of that baggage, erasing the personal history that drags us down and limits us.

But before you click “Play”, check this out: To celebrate vanquishing stage fright and performing anxiety through the application of NLP, I’ll be celebrating by performing my first concert in 2 years on Sunday November 23rd at the Space in Hamden.Details and directions here There are still about 20 seats left so get your tickets Now ($20 online / $25.00 at the door).
Also! For the first Time ever I’ll be making some of my Paintings available to be seen and purchased at Sunday’s concert. Whatever doesn’t sell will be uploaded here to my site so even those of you who live on the other side of the world can get access to them. The short version of the story is: At one point performing was so painful for me that I just gave up and started painting acrylic abstract canvases. There’s a much longer story to tell but I’ll share it on Sunday at the concert or in a future post.
Here’s the video:
Let me know what you think
Commentary: This song literally contains the NLP Anxiety treatment process that I use with clients from all over the world to help them stop worry, anxiety, phobias and panic attacks. I used the same techniques to clear my own anxiety and self sabotage around getting my music out of my living room and into the ears of other people. The fact that in the last 3 weeks people from 49 countries have visited this site and experienced my songs is literally proof that NLP works. Watch the video and enjoy the images.
