LIFE IS A WINDING ROAD TRAVELED CURVE BY CURVE WHERE LOVE IS MY PURPOSE AND GUIDING LIGHT I never really know how The day is going to flow, For even with “the best laid plans”, Everything in this world goes awry— Circumstances turn beyond our control And suddenly I am somewhere far From where I thought I needed to be, Dealing with things I could not Have imagined when I woke up, Rose from repose and scattered dreams And set sail on my stormy way on This new day of unlimited possibilities. After so many years of this birth I begin to understand that all of life is A winding road we must travel, Curve by curve, awake and ready For whatever comes around the bend, Be it loving and sweet or full of Pain and fear, and that all of it Is a glorious gift given to me So that I will turn and turn again To the inner eternal path which has No beginning and no end, where God is immanent in every moment— Where Love alone is my purpose, My way and my guiding light that Only a wide-open heart can reveal On this sacred journey through my days.

A SPECIAL SONG FOR YOU from Chinmayan’s Inspirational Playlists
“The Sound of Silence” by Simon and Garfunkel
This is one of my all time favorites, which had a major effect on me when I was a young man seeking my way in the world in the 1960’s.
This version is a sweet and touching music video of Simon and Garfunkel performing it Live at Madison Square Garden, in NYC, October 2010…with all the refinements and additional rifts of singing it across the years they have added to this well loved song.
Enjoy!
