Angels on the Playlist, on on our trip





The playlist is what I “run” to……….Then in terms of how I relate to it really gets down to how the words and memories and then two the sights of the day tell me more about who I really and where I have really been. (note to mention help that was received)


Today I took the I Pod and started out on a 8 mile run. East to the base of the Sandias. The playlist was began with: The Love in your Eyes, These arms of Mine, This is Us, Unchained Melody, Hello Darlin, High-tech Redneck, I Walk the Line, I will Always Love You, Remember When, and Angel…………………the playlist marks the miles and the blog.

The air was crisp and cool and seemed to make all that I saw fresh. The sky was blue and the air clear. To the East were the Sandias, framed with blue sky . I ran about 4 miles one way to the base and turned and 100 miles to the west was Mt Taylor. Snow topped. The city was below stretched miles in all directions. I do find distraction, release, no confusion and time to think as I cover the miles. I did look back to a time when "I was young and so was she". Time didn’t stand still. Love was and is all we knew…… Angels have been with us on our trip.


The Love in your eyes……………..


And I feel I'm driftin'
On a sea of confusion
There's a beacon that always shines
It's the love in eyes It's the love in eyes


Remember When………………
"Remember when I was young and so were you
and time stood still and love was all we knew
Remember when thirty seemed so old
Now lookn' back it's just a steppin' stone
To where we are, Where we've been
Said we'd do it all again
Remember when
Remember when we said when we turned gray
When the children grow up and move away
We won't be sad, we'll be glad
For all the life we've had
And we'll remember when"

Angel ……………………………
"end all your time waiting for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always some reason to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight in the arms of an angel
fly away from here from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
so tired of the straight line and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting you
keep on building the lie that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness
oh this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here"

Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct they for good; yea when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep and when though risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God;; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day….. .Alma 37:37
