Alice is my favorite female singer. I love this song. She will have a new album out in June called "Who I Am" . If you don’t have it, her album titled "Alice Peacock is great.

Here is a link to her website

i’m not asking for perfection
i only ask that you try
’cause you keep looking for answers outside yourself
when you’ve had them the whole time
it’s time to see yourself as holy
time to see yourself complete
it’s time to set aside the anger
and the spirit of defeat

come into the light
yeah, be the one you’re born to be
into the light
wake up from your lonely sleep
the shadows can conceal what the heart longs to heal
come into the light

I wrote this a couple of years ago when my wife and I were on a Pilgramage in southern France

What is Enough?

If I gave unconditional love to my wife and family.
Would that be enough?
If I were the owner of a value driven company,
And each employee lived the values at work and home.
Would that be enough?
If I co-created a training program on entrepreneurship,
That was transformational for hundreds of people.
Would that be enough?
{Pace Quickens} Or what if…….
I were the leader of a country,
Where no one was in poverty.
Would that be enough?
{Bellowing} THEN how about if………..
I could bring peace to the world,
And my name was mentioned along side Jesus.
Would that be enough?
{With Reverence}
But if I died right now on this hillside,
With God in my heart and a smile on my face.
He and I would know.
I am —– enough.

Since 1974 when this song came out, it has always been one of my favorites. I found the CD the other day and listening to it, I finally rememebred why. You can listen to it here. I’m curious whether the words resonate with you. Looking back, I see they are very appropriate for me.

I have these moments
All steady and strong
I’m feeling so holy and humble
The next thing I know
I’m all worried and weak
And I feel myself
Starting to crumble.
The meanings get lost
And the teachings get tossed
And you don’t know what you’re
Going to do next.
You wait for the sun
But it never quite comes
Some kind of message comes
Through to you.

The green leaves with the yellow tint 
Gently quake with the winds that accompany the sun’s rebirth
Finches flutter from branch to branch
Looking for the perfect place to perch
