Big Wave Dave’s “Spin of the Day – Side B” for Wednesday, April 12, 2017

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry, each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by

Make me believe that you don’t see the tears
Just let me grieve, in private
‘Cause each time that I see you, I break down and cry
Walk on by, walk on by (don’t stop), just walk on by (don’t stop)

Oh ’cause I just can’t get over losing you
And if I seem, broken and blue
Walk on by (just walk on by), walk on by (just walk on by)

Foolish pride, is all I have left
So let me hide the tears and all the sadness
That you gave me when you said goodbye
When you walked on by (don’t stop), when you walked on by (don’t stop)
Just walk on by, just walk on by

BURT BACHARACH, HAL DAVID

#17 – Acceptance of the Things I Cannot Change….

17-The-Fates-rev

#17 – THE FATES

FATE; KARMA; ACCEPTANCE THAT THERE ARE THINGS YOU CANNOT CHANGE AND KNOWING WHAT THOSE THINGS ARE.

PROTECTION

Protection message: It is difficult to understand why painful things happen to good people. Fate is a mystery, after all. Yet what we do with our circumstances, the way in which we respond to life’s challenges, is how we rise up to greet our destiny. Now is one of those times to be aware of your powerlessness to change certain situations and surrender to acceptance. Hang in there. Life will only get better. Act as if you believe that, for the only thing you can control right now is your attitude. When you align with the Fates, being mindful of what you can and cannot change, serenity will come to you.

“After The Rain Has Fallen”

The palace guards are all sleeping
Their fires burn into the night
There’s a threat of rain on the dark horizon
And all that’s left is a quarter moon of light

He climbs up through the darkness
No weapon but his surprise
The greatest thief in the high Sahara
Enters the room where a sleeping princess lies

All your money, your pretty necklace
This is my work on such a night
There’s a storm coming over the mountain
I’ll be gone long before the morning

After the rain has fallen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You find that I’ve take nothing, that
Love can’t replace in the blink of an eye

He was as gentle as the night wind
As no lover had been before
And the rings she wore for her bride groom
Slipped from her fingers and fell to the floor

Take me with you, take me with you
Before my lonely life is set
I’ve been promised to another
To a man I’ve never even met

After the rain has fallen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You’ll find that I’ve take nothing, that
Love can’t replace in the blink of an eye
After the thunder’s spoken, and
After the lightning bolt’s been hurled
After the dream is broken, there’ll
Still be love in the world

She said take me to another life
Take me for a pirate’s wife
Take me where the wind blows
Take me where the red wine flows
Take me to the danger
Take me to the life of crime
Take me to the stars
Take me to the moon while we still have time

After the rain has fallen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You’ll find that I’ve taken nothing, that
Love can’t replace in the blink of an eye

After the thunder’s spoken, and
After the lightning bolt’s been hurled
After the dream is broken, there’ll
Still be love in the world
Still be love in the world

#36 – Commitment….

#36 – COMMITMENT

“A TRUE COMMITMENT IS A RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HEART, MIND, BODY, AND SOUL. THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO MAKE ONE.”

REVERSED

You may be walking into a commitment or contract you will later regret. This isn’t a good time to sign agreements or make any choice that would tie you up for a long period. If you’re in a relationship, you may not receive the commitment you desire. Don’t despair, for something much better awaits you. Now is also the time for agreements to be broken. Remember that “rejection is God’s protection.” What hurts you now leads to wisdom later.

Making Choices – Shared reading

I have learned this: it is not what one does that is wrong, but what one becomes as a consequence of it.
  —Oscar Wilde

There are countless ways to take shortcuts in life or to grab for pleasures. We could cheat on our income taxes, excuse a food binge, or lie to a loved one about where we’ve been. We say, “It won’t hurt anyone!” “I wouldn’t do it if it weren’t for the other guy.” Or, “Everyone does it.” But if we are to like and respect ourselves, we need to live by the rules we believe in. Whether we get caught or not isn’t the point. We cannot hold values and then repeatedly justify breaking them.

What does it do to us if we constantly fudge on our values? It undermines our self-esteem and damages the faith we have in ourselves. We do not expect to be perfect, but we must be accountable. If we are honest with ourselves, we admit our wrongs and reestablish our self-respect.

Today, I will take care to make choices that match my values.
