The better i dance the more attention i give it. i need to reconnect with my voice and my power to speak the truth, to stand up for what is right without fear, and to sing for everyone to hear, and reconnect my spine. then maybe i will be able to reconnect with the people who really love me and reconnect my eyes you i can see clearly again. how i sort through noise is if it makes me dance I keep it.

i need to reconnect with my voice and my power to speak the truth, to stand up for what is right without fear, and to sing for everyone to hear, and reconnect my spine.
then maybe i will be able to reconnect with the people who really love me and reconnect my eyes you i can see clearly again.

I need to reconnect to myself & to all of the other people around me. Thanks for asking.

I love how cohesively the songs seem to fit into this overall framework (or maybe the theme shapes the songs?)

I suppose for myself, it's more about trying to connect to other people's needs more while maintaining an observance to what is important to me and what I like. A not-so-selfish/selfish yin/yang type thing. Difficult to do. Interesting that the workplace where I am also uses the term 'disconnect' when referring to how some positions in the organization exist and perhaps changes they would like to make to these positions. Very interesting. Reconnecting, great topic and so vast, lots of great ideas and thoughts above.

Boy are they fired up! I'm all for free speech but the Bullhorn tactic of some of the bloggers makes my stomach turn. I haven't read the book yet, but it sounds intriguing. I wish more people were open minded about faith. I'm a Christian but would never tell anyone they are going to be condemned if they don't believe what I believe. That's not even in my vocabulary. If people want to do the bullhorn thing, that's their right...but is anybody really going to listen when it's that noisy? @David, It makes me think of "Devil By My Side." An interesting group of videos I found is from Nooma on youtube. Rob Bell talks indirectly to "The Bullhorn Guy", and also about Breathing and other interesting topics. It's spiritual without pushing the "my truth is better than your truth". You can take from the messages what you want or take nothing. Pretty thought provoking though and a way to reconnect to what's important in your life. @Allan : I’ve been reading some blogs of people who are completely against The New Earth book by Eckhart Tolle.

I've been listening to The New Earth by Eckhart Tolle and the chapter I'm on is talking about the importance of breathing properly. He says that all you have to do is focus on the breathing and that will be the best meditation you can do. You are bang on Yvette! I'll be listening to the rest on the way to TO for MESH tomorrow. The busier it gets, the tougher it is to quiet the chatter. I'm the co-founder of young startup and the father of three wonderful girls. On top of that, my wife (Yvonne) and I run a consulting company. Life is fantastic but busy. I was alluding earlier to music as having a magical quality. I think playing it or listening to it is one of the few things that calms the chatter. A friend recently sent me a very interesting talk given by a brain scientist after she had a stroke. It talks about the constant thinking of the left side vs the creative right side. It is absolutely fascinating. This is part of the TED Talks series which I highly recommend. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/229 . PS. Sorry about hogging the comments on this post ... it is a very fascinating topic and probably more important than we realize. Stopping the constant chatter in the brain is very difficult.
