Sting - Send Your Love
Finding the world in the smallness of a grain of sand
And holding infinities in the palm of your hand
And Heaven's realms in the seedlings of this tiny flower
And eternities in the space of a single hour
Send your love into the future
Send your love into the distant dawn
Inside your mind is a relay station
A mission probe into the unknowing
We send a seed to a distant future
Then we can watch the galaxies growing
This ain't no time for doubting your power
This ain't no time for hiding your care
You're climbing down from an ivory tower
You've got a stake in the world we ought to share
You see the stars are moving so slowly
But still the earth is moving so fast
Can't you see the moon is so lonely
She's still trapped in the pain of the past
This is the time of the worlds colliding
This is the time of kingdoms falling
This is the time of the worlds dividing
Time to heed your call
Send your love into the future
Send your precious love into some distant time
And fix that wounded planet with the love of your healing
Send your love
Send your love
There's no religion but sex and music
There's no religion but sound and dancing
There's no religion but line and color
There's no religion but sacred trance
There's no religion but the endless ocean
There's no religion but the moon and stars
There's no religion but time and motion
There's no religion, just tribal scars
Throw a pebble in and watch the ocean
See the ripples vanish in the distance
It's just the same with all the emotions
It's just the same in every instance
There's no religion but the joys of rhythm
There's no religion but the rites of Spring
There's no religion in the path of hate
No prayer but the one I sing
Send your love into the future
Send your precious love into some distant time
And fix that wounded planet with the love of your healing
Send your love
Send your love
There's no religion but sex and music
There's no religion that's right or winning
There's no religion in the path of hatred
Ain't no prayer but the one I'm singing
Send your love
Send your love
I love syncronicity. No sooner did I do my last post ending with William Blake's "Grain of Sand" poem than I received notice from Julian's blog over at Big Sky Yoga with this Sting video. The man just keeps rocking our souls through eternity and brings us back to our home. Timeless, spaceless and all Love.
Forgive the copy cat post this time and click on the vid below. Let Sting's message sink in and allow the soul to rise up from the depths and take a full breath of fresh air.
As I said, such wisdon, such a beautiful heart, such a beautiful contemplation. Check out these lines:

Sing on brother Sting! Bring us home...

“Throw a pebble in and watch the ocean
See the ripples vanish in the distance”
Nice. Simple and precise reflection of 2 truths worth pondering upon.
One is the irreversibility and the long action and effect of our every deed, word or thought. As soon as the pebble is thrown, there's no way back - it becomes part of the universal ocean. Moreover, it radiates and spreads ripples around it, affecting near and far, probably having some distant effect we're not even aware of.
The second is more subtle, yet equally true - it's our egocentric tendency to watch the ripples radiating from the pebble we've thrown. The satisfaction of the ego knowing that 'I' have some effect - see? there are ripples! that was ME!
And still, so much humbleness is hidden here, whether the 'I' likes it or not - the ripples vanish in the distance… And if we look from a wider perspective - the ocean didn't even feel that one little pebble. The ocean is so wast, and we are but a tiny drop, a little pebble at the bottom, sending some ripples around for the momentary breath of our lifetime, then sinking, disappearing, becoming an indistinguishable part of the ocean, the ripples vanishing in the distance…
