song from the source
Last night I was introduced to the most amazing song (thank you, thank you, thank you Erin Michelle).
Exactly: Amy Steinberg (Click to open a new window and listen while you read)
This might be one of the most powerful pieces of music I have ever heard. As tumultuous as my life has been lately, I want to cling to the lyrics and the melody like they are the source of my life itself - which in fact, I think they might be. I have immersed myself in this song this morning. Turned it up loud and dove deep into it, until it filled every fragment of my body and soul.
If everything in the universe is energy - and I believe that it is - then everything we encounter transmits some of its energy to us. The energy that communicates itself to me most directly is the energy of words and music – I feel them on a deep, vibrational level. This energy of this song, from the very first note, nestled itself into the very core of my being and sent the most comforting light coursing through my body. I think I want to become this song.
As my dear Leigh said last night “That’s my church, my faith, right there. That’s all you need. One time to hear that song and it becomes your Source.”
Lately, the Universe has been testing me greatly. But as much as I have been tested and changed and cracked wide open, I have also been gifted and carried and lifted so very high. I have been given, in my darkest, most confusing moments the gifts of amazing people, profound wisdom, important lessons, deeply impactful music. Over and over again, these gifts have found me at the exact moment I needed them, giving me energy, peace, strength.
i need to be exactly where i am
i am a blessing manifest
i can undress the moment
naked time unwinds beneath my mind
and from within i find the kind of beauty
only i can find
i am exactly where i need to be
i need to be exactly where i am
i am surrendering so willingly
to be the perfect me inside this now
and truly how else could it be
destiny she blesses me
The Universe is wise. So is this song. I hope you feel it as much as I do.
This video is incomplete – but wanted to share anyway.
i believe that too … and i believe that my vibration pulled me to this today. “yes, i believe we are light and we shine infinitely.”
peace love free~
thank you ♥

Wow - what an amazing song - I so needed this today. I have been tested by the universe a lot lately too and it had me wearing thin - this just re-energized me - made the chaos a lot easier to deal with. I need to remember that this is exactly where I need to be today. Thank you!

Amazing song. I also needed to hear it. The universe has tested me a lot this year as well. It’s good to remember that I am still where I need to be. Thank you for sharing.
I hope that you come out on the other side of the turmoil stronger and free.
PS: not sure if you remember me, but I’ve been reading since the iParerting days. I have a little girl named Sofia.

It’s funny that you should post about Amy Steinberg. She is peripherally connected to what is some social dissonance in my life right now. It was good to see her admired in a different context — not because I care for Amy Steinberg particularly, but because it reminds me of that different context, and the relativity of things. That makes absolutely no sense, I’m sure, without knowing the story it’s related to. Let’s just say, this was a nice bit of synchronicity for me.

Thank you for writing about this song. I have not heard it in some time but when I did once, I adored it to. Tonight, it also means something to me. So thank you. Thank you.
