See in August my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.psolis.com\/dreamscapes\/2007\/08\/peace-i-leave-you-my-peace-i-give-you.html\">mother passed away<\/a>. I miss her a lot and I&#8217;m always thinking about her. But this morning I woke up with this song in my head. I don&#8217;t know why but I guess it has something to do with how my relationship with my sisters has been lately. <\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong! It is not that its bad! only disconnected. We don&#8217;t talk much except the superficial &#8220;hi, how are the kids&#8221; kinda calls. Since my mother&#8217;s death, we have not been as close as it used to be. I guess I miss how we were. My sisters &#038; I are not as connected. I guess each one of us is dealing with her death in our own ways. But deep in my heart, I fear that we will never have that again. She was the matriarch of our family and she was the force that kept us together. We got together to visit with our mother. She always travelled back &#038; forth between Ecuador &#038; here. She would stay for a couple of months &#038; then go back. She did this a few times a year.<\/p>\n<p>Since she left we don&#8217;t really get together much anymore. So accepting the reality that things may never be the way they were, is hard.<\/p>\n<p>James Taylor&#8217;s &#8211; Shower the People You Love with Love inspires me to create unity in my family ANYWAY!! No matter what the circumstance may look like. <\/p>\n<p>Just taking it on &#8211; no reasons or justifications &#8211; just because I want it to exist!!<\/p>\n<p>So I share this song:<br \/>\n<object type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" data=\"http:\/\/www.psolis.com\/audio\/player.swf\" id=\"audio_Shower\" height=\"50\" width=\"250\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.psolis.com\/audio\/player.swf\"><param name=\"FlashVars\" value=\"playerID=audio_Shower&#038;soundFile=http:\/\/www.psolis.com\/audio\/James%20Taylor%20-%20Shower%20the%20People%20You%20Love%20with%20Love.mp3\"><param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\"><param name=\"menu\" value=\"false\"><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/object><br \/>\n<br \/><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.psolis.com\/audio\/James%20Taylor%20-%20Shower%20the%20People%20You%20Love%20with%20Love.m3u\">(M3u)<\/a><\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DjKnHAKtYFA\">video <\/a> &#038; lyrics so that you can be inspired as well.<\/p>\n<p><em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;You can play the game and you can act out the part<br \/>Though you know it wasn&#8217;t written for you<br \/>But tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart<br \/>Ashamed of playing the fool<br \/>One thing can lead to another; it doesn&#8217;t take any sacrifice<br \/>Oh, father and mother,and sister and brother<br \/>if it feels nice, don&#8217;t think twice (yes)<\/p>\n<p>Shower the people you love with love<br \/>Show them the way that you feel<br \/>Things are gonna be just fine if you only will(do as i say, yeah)<br \/>Shower the people you love with love<br \/>Show them the way that you feel<br \/>Things are gonna be much better if you only will<\/p>\n<p>You can run but you cannot hide<br \/>This is widely known<br \/>And what you plan to do with your foolish pride<br \/>When you&#8217;re all by yourself alone<br \/>Once you tell somebody the way that you feel<br \/>You can feel it beginning to ease<br \/>I think it&#8217;s true what they say about the squeaky wheel<br \/>Always getting the grease.<\/p>\n<p>Better to shower the people you love with love<br \/>(Yes and) show them the way that you feel<br \/>(I know) Things are gonna be just fine if you only will<br \/>(what I&#8217;d like to do to you)<br \/>Shower the people you love with love<br \/>Show them the way you feel<br \/>Things are gonna be much better if you only will<\/p>\n<p>Shower the people you love with love<br \/>Show them the way that you feel<\/p>\n<p>They say in every life<br \/>They say the rain must fall<br \/>Just like the pouring rain<br \/>Make it rain<br \/>Make it rain<br \/>Love, love, love is sunshine oh<br \/>Make it rain<br \/>Love, love, love is sunshine yeah<br \/>Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; James Taylor<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nIt has been a few months since I&#8217;ve written on this blog.
