Bold As Love

I was reading a response from a blog buddy earlier about Jimi Hendrix and it got me to thinking about how there are some people you meet in life that hit you. And hit you hard.

I have a friend that is very sick. She is an amazing person who I have admired for years. She is the type person that is so full of Zen that she has no idea that she creates waves as she walks through life. She have never comprehended the nature of her existence and really has always been kind of sad to me. She is very beautiful and has never chosen well when it comes to men.

But here recently she fell in love and married a very amazing boy. He is equally Zen-like and everyone just thought awwwwww………..how right. Some people just fit together.

I’m blessed like that too. My baby fits so well for me. I was made for her.

And now my friend is sick. Very sick. Her husband is devastated and I am at a loss as to what to say or do. Sometimes life is so unfair and because of that it makes me reflect on just how truly fortunate I am and it makes me want to appreciate exactly what I have even more.

So now I’m rambling. Sorry.

I started out with Jimi Hendrix and am now listening to Axis: Bold as Love.

Check out the lyrics.

Anger, he smiles
Towering in shiny metallic purple armor
Queen Jealousy, envy awaits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground

Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted
They quietly understand
Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready
But wonder why the fight is on
But they’re all bold as love, yea, they’re bold as love
Just ask the Axis

My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war,
And ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring
But very unsteady for the first go around
My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact I’m trying to say it’s frightened like me
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from
Giving my life to a rainbow like you

But I’m bold, bold as love (hear me talkin’ girl)
I’m bold as love
Just ask the Axis (he knows everything)

Now I realize that many people don’t “feel” music as I do. They listen to catchy hooks and tunes and live their lives in a Top 40 Format. But I go deeper. Much deeper. I hear music in colors and sense the underlying messages. You know, kind of like Charlie Manson hearing the Beatles telling him to kill. Well, maybe not quite like that! But I hear things differently. And as I listened to this song this morning I was reminded of my friend that is sick and how she spreads colors as she goes.

I am praying hard.

I am very sad.

I need to be hugged………….

I hope you will hug someone today and tell them you love them – because life is never assured. We are just a moment away from eternity at all times. So please love with all your heart and never settle for anything less than what your heart desires.

Peace.
