DON'T HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY
'Siyo or Osiyo [Hello in Cherokee]
Read the last Daily Message titled, Why Complicate Things?
< ----------- Pictured is my friend Renee and I at a Motley Crue concert.
Since I began consistently using Facebook a couple of years ago, my Daily Messages have fallen by the wayside and a load of my visitors have been continually on my tail pushing me to start writing these Daily Messages again. For all you newbies to the site, I wake up every morning, like clockwork, to a song that sounds like it is coming from a radio but it is not. I hear it in my head and outside of my head as if it is in stereo. It is definitely in the room. I do not wake up with an alarm clock, instead I am awakened by a song that I call my Musical DLG ™ (Download from God ™ ), which I take as God speaking to me, through me. What I do with that Musical DLG ™ is write a Daily Message to you on the big screen of Life (called the internet) right here. It is strange but it is True. Today's Musical DLG ™ is called, "Hey, You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" by The Beatles, although this morning it came to me in the version sung by Eddie Vedder, the lead singer of Pearl Jam. This version is from the movie soundtrack, "I Am Sam".
When my Musical DLG ™ wakes me up, I usually just lay there with my eyes closed and let the song speak to me. As I laid there smiling and I could feel a tear sliding out of the corner of my right eye and into my hair. I felt so grateful to be who I am and that is a person who Loves . . . as, who, what, when, where, why and how much I want. Even if or when my Love is not returned, I still have my Love and I find that very cool. It makes me smile. Love to me isn't just a relationshippy romantic word. Love is about my Life and has everything to do with how I go about making my Life work for me. It's about my attitude, my motivations, my work, my health, my livelihood and all of my relationships. When I hear this song, I am so grateful that I have not gotten myself caught up in the judgment of others and that I do not, will not and cannot hide my Love away. It just isn't going to happen in my work, relationships or anywhere else for that matter. I say who, what, when, where, why and how much I Love. Yeah! Whether it is Love of a person, Love of God, Love of hockey or Love of anything else I choose, my position is, "Oh yeah, watch this!" I won't hide my Love away for no one! My favorite word is 'enjoy' and it is through my ability to enjoy the moment that I find Love so easy to do. By the way - I LOVE EDDIE VEDDER! (winky wink) Lyrics are below the video.
HEY! YOU'VE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY
Performed by Eddier Vedder (lead singer of Pearl Jam)
HEY, YOU'VE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY
Performed by Eddier Vedder (lead singer of Pearl Jam)
Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feeling two foot small
Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say
Hey you've got to hide your Love away
Hey you've got to hide your Love away
Why should I even try?
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in
How could she say to me
"Love will find a way?"
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say
Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away
