Mind, Body, and…

Act 72:

“It’s never too late… To Find Your Soul

We all have one. Some of us try to hide it. Or ignore it. But it’s there. Waiting. At the centre of our being. Waiting. For our permission. To guide us. Allow it.” – Patrick Lindsay

Quote in book: “The soul that rises with us, our life’s star.” ~ William Wordsworth

Every single one of us has a soul. It’s just a question of whether we listen to it or not. I consulted The ORACLE on the definition of Soul. Here’s the one I’m gonna focus on and the one I like the best:

A person's moral or emotional nature or sense of identity

I’d like to think I have a good soul. In fact, as I said in an earlier blog, I’ve been told recently (by multiple people) that I have a beautiful soul. I’m not sure I’d go that far, but it’s very nice of them to say.

A good soul to me is someone who’s kind-hearted, caring, supportive. I try to be this person. A good person. I try to be nice and kind to others. I know that bitchy side is always there, but I do really mean well. I think the key to having a good soul is intent. I think we should treat each other like we wish to be treated. I think we should help each other and support each other as much as we can. I try to do this. I believe that everybody makes mistakes. Everyone deserves a second chance. Everyone deserves a smile. Everyone deserves to feel special, because we are all special in our own way. Everybody deserves to be loved. I try to make the people in my life feel loved and feel special. I’m hoping that this train of thought will lead me down the path to being a good person. Being a good soul.

I’m curious to hear your thoughts on what you think a good soul is… We do all really have one. It’s just hidden really deep in some people.

I was looking around and found this quiz: What Kind Of Soul Are You?

According to the quiz: I’m a Dreaming Soul (weird...)

You Are a Dreaming Soul

Your vivid imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time.
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult.

You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you are brimming with passion that you keep hidden.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.

Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul

That’s interesting. I wouldn’t have thought that and I’m not sure I agree… but hey that’s what the quiz said. Do you think that’s true of me? After reading it a second (and third time)… it might just be true… hmm. What did it say about you? Are we compatible? hehe

Hey Hey Hey
Your lipstick stains
On the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went and let you blow my mind
Your sweet moonbeam
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided you're the one I have decided
Who's one of my kind

10 Points: Name the Artist and the Song of the lyrics below (Note: My Favorite song of theirs is from the same album entitled “Where The Water Falls”)

Why drink the water
from my hand?
Contagious as you think I am
Just tilt my sun towards
your domain.
Your cup runneth over again.

Don't scream about
Don't think aloud
Turn your head now baby
Just spit me out
Don't worry about
Don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now baby
Just spit me out

Why follow me to higher ground?
Lost as you swear I am.
Don't throw away your basic needs,
Ambiance and vanity.

10 Points: Name the Artist and the Song of the lyrics below (Note: Matthew Morrison covered this song w/ the Artist on his recently released album)

When you're down and they're counting
When your secrets all found out
When your troubles take to mounting
When the map you have leads you to doubt
When there's no information
And the compass turns to nowhere that you know well
Let your soul be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
He'll guide you well

10 Points: Name the Artist and the Song of the lyrics below

When I get you all alone
I'm gonna take off all your clothes
Ain't nobody gonna interrupt my game (oh no no)
Ever since you been hangin' around
I been trying to figure out
What I can say to you to get some play yeah

Couldn't we do what we did last night again?
Baby you and I'd be better than friends
Don't you think its time we went a bit further? oh yeah
Everynight when we say goodbye
How can I help looking in your eyes
Wondering why you and I
Haven' t hit it
Can we get it on?
I'm kinda faded but I feel alright
Thinkin bout makin my move tonight
I can't pretend that you're only my friend
When you're holding my body tight
Cuz I like the way you're makin it move
I like the way you're making me wait
At the end of the night
When I make up your mind
You'll be coming on home
With me (yeah, yeah, yeah)

10 Points: Name the Artist and the Song of the lyrics below

I want to live where soul meets body,
And let the sun wrap its arms around me,
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing,
And feel, feel what it's like to be new,
'Cause in my head there's a Greyhound station,
Where I send my thoughts to far-off destinations.
So they may have a chance of finding a place where,
They're far more suited than here.

BAda-bada ba-bah
bada ba-ba bada ba-bah
bada ba-ba bada-ba
bada bada-bah

I cannot guess what we'll discover,
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels,
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another's,
And not one speck will remain.

And I do believe it's true that there are roads left in both of our shoes, But if the silence takes you then I hope it takes me too.
So brown eyes I hold you near, 'cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.
