After meditation this morning, I sat down at the laptop as usual to check Facebook and see what I’d missed overnight. No Facebook. Hmmm. So I went over to Twitter to see if anyone was talking about why Facebook was down and didn’t see anything about it there. Then I went over to LinkedIn and it was down as well. I switched from Google Chrome to Mozilla Firefox 4 in case it was a browser problem. Still down. I went over to Google News and clicked on Space Coast news, and Florida Today was down. I decided for whatever reason, the Universe doesn’t think I need to be at the computer at 6:00am , so I’m going back to bed. Maybe it’s just the eclipse. Maybe it’s the rapture. Whatever, I’ll be somewhere when I wake up. And if this is my last day on Earth, it’s been a blast and I’m thrilled I’m the one who got to live my life.
This is what you can play at my memorial service unless the Beloved B writes me a new one before I go: Daniel Nahmod’s Last Song:
Words and Music by Daniel Nahmod
If this is my last song
If this is my final day
If tomorrow I’ll be gone
What do I want to say?
If this is my last song
If it’s my time to go
When my body’s moved on
What will I have to show?
No, not fortune and fame – they scatter to the wind
The things that make a name – just don’t matter in the end.
(Chorus)
Is the world a little more peaceful?
Oceans and sky a little more blue?
Is humankind a little bit wiser
about the good that we can do?
Does the sun shine a little bit brighter
Where before there was only rain?
If so, then I’m glad I came.
If these are my last words, for all the earth to hear
If all that I have ever been, is about to disappear.
If these are my last words, There nothing I need to say
I have only tried to serve
It’s never been about talking anyway.
So much hurt there is to heal – it’s hard to understand
All I can hope to feel is that I am doing what I can.
(Chorus)
Is the world a little more peaceful?
Oceans and sky a little more blue?
Is humankind a little bit wiser
about the good that we can do?
Does the sun shine a little bit brighter
Where before there was only rain?
If so, then I’m glad I came.
(Chorus)
Have I given hope to the hopeless?
Has a hungry soul been fed?
Has a child stood a little bit taller
’cause of something that I said?
Have I left a little kindness?
Have I eased a little pain?
If so, then I’m glad I came.
For that, I’m so glad I came.
If this is my last song,
What do I leave behind?
What do I pass on?
When I am out of time?
