Call me the breeze – Integrating the Spirals

It’s February 27th, 2024; Yep, the free birds are back! The free birds of paradise that is. We’ve got a hard rock song for you today! Get ready to do some head-bangin’ (if that’s still a thing). Haha! Richard wrote this new song and sent it to friend and singer/guitarist, Tim Chandler from Bradenton, Florida! So, we’ve got a new sound for you with Tim’s great vocals. Let us know what you think.

Tribute to the famous Southern rock band

Here’s the fifty-eighth new music post for 2024, as I consistently push out an original song each day. This song is Richard’s tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd, the American Southern rock band that hailed from Jacksonville, Florida.

I love what Richard did lyrically on this song, including so many of Skynyrd’s song titles. It serves to remind me just how big Skynyrd was–and how high they climbed the ladder of musical hits and fame. Oh, to ascend to these heights! Free bird! Once again.

Flights and sweet homes

Speaking of free birds and fame, isn’t it amazing the heights some can reach but then not sustain their success? We just watched a video about a great Nashville superstar last night and her abandoned house. Yes, Barbara Mandrell’s mansion, the largest log cabin in the world, has been abandoned for some time. The home is huge with many flights of stairs–even a spiral staircase!

It was sad to me that Barbara and her family only lived in this home for 14 years. It made me wonder what happened to her and how sad she must have been to have something so glorious built and not get to live in it very long.

Spiral thought: It reminded me of how my parents built their dream home and didn’t get to live in it for too many years. But that’s a whole other story.

Something about leaving

There’s a sadness about leaving something you’ve built by the sweat of one’s brow and breaking of one’s back. My mom never got over the hurt of having to leave the house they built in West Virginia. Here are a couple of photos I took of it with my 35mm camera during the construction.

Leaving sadness behind and leaning into the philosophy of Detachment, is one of the practices I embrace most about Buddhism. And this reminds me of the lyrics of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s song Call Me the Breeze, “I ain’t got me nobody, I don’t carry me no load.”

May we all feel freer and soar in ’24! And here’s to keeping the beat in our lives by integrating processes that bring us more calm, ease, and JOY!

Yours in expanding, flying high, detaching, spiraling consciousness,

Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey
