overheard while walking in a circle, weeks 1 and 2

Deb Talan sang:
Tell your story to anyone who'll listen
Tell your story
Don't stop talking
Just tell your story walking

Natalie Maine's reminded:
I know you said
Why can't you just get over it
It turned my whole world around
And I kind of like it

Neil Diamond encouraged:
Can't stand still while the music is playin'

Paul Simon picks up the tempo:
Gone at last, gone at last
I had a long streak of bad luck
But I pray it's gone at last

Tina Turner spoke her truth:
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying bout the way things might have been

Keith Urban kept me going with:
My troubles behind me
I'm alive and I'm free
Who wouldn't wanna be me

Natalie Maines pushed me forward:
Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
Guess I could have made it easier on myself

But I, I could never follow

And, Deb Talan invited in healing:
Dry your wings in the sun
You have only begun to understand

I love this! I am inspired by music at every turn, too! And would you believe, the prompt I posted for next week's Traveling poetry Show is all about walking! "Just tell your story walking..." Ironic, huh?

What a drop dead delicious play list. I couldn't get though a day in this rough old world without my soundtrack. I'm downloading this one on my iPod and calling it Liz Elayne's "Yes I'm gonna do this" playlist.

Thanks and keep on walking (Emily Maguire)

That line you quoted from "the Long Way Around" by the Dixie CHicks is one of my favorites and just stuck with me when i first listened to the album. It says so much...i opened my mouth and i heard myself...love it
