Just added my Christmas song I recently recorded here.

And here are the lyrics. Enjoy!



Santa Claus is Staying at Home Music and Lyrics Sherry Somach c 2009





1. This year we just might get

Our Christmas of white

Santa wears the same old suit

But it’s getting mighty tight

We’ll buy a tree like years of old

And string up all the lights

But this year there’ll be something new

To make this season bright

cause….

Chorus

Santa Claus is staying at home

He’ll watch T.V. and… Continue

I see dead people

OK, here is one of the many spirit stories that make up the tapestry of my life. This is the real deal, no artistic license here.



One night I was staying at my in-laws house with the family. I wasn't feeling well so I decided to sleep in my wife's old bedroom in the basement, so I didn't pass on any nasty germs to anyone. It's a mostly unfinished basement; there's a "bedroom" which was an old workshop, a bathroom, a workshop, and a lot of storage. There's are 2 doors to the basement,… Continue

Thank you, Dean Marshal

What a healing and beautiful video...I Choose To Be Love. I have recently compiled writings, prayers, poetry and

years of dialogue with our collective "Spiritual Source" into a book(...AND DRINK the LIQUID SOUND of WISDOM). One page simply says "I am determined to be Love." One night spent in candlelight prayer, my pen

began to speak these words..."The way to Love is empathic; it is the path of indistinguishability, where we

come to the greatest respect for each other, because we… Continue

Thank You!

Hello everyone:



Just wanted to say that as I am preparing sweet potatoes, pies and mashed potatoes for the big feast at my sister Denise's house-----(she's here on Wiffledust too! -she and my brother- in- law Jerry whose birthday is tomorrow by the way), I so appreciate and cherish each of you, my friends on Wiffledust. Thanks for allowing me to post my little poems and thoughts, thanks for all your positive and loving feedback when I try out my creative wings. It's not something… Continue

Thanksgiving Guests. (only people I've never met)

1. Uncle Georgie (whose memory I've been asked to preserve.) He was a musician. Gone by the end of WWII , he left a grieving fiance, and no children to remember him . My grandmother, (in the year before she died,) gave me his photo, and told me about his love for swing and hot jazz. She also made sure I knew where his grave is. When my parents passed, I had to clean out their house. There I found Georgie's WWII Jewish prayerbook, his paratrooper wings and another photo. I feel a connection to… Continue

The Value of Hard Times

I thought there was a reason to carry on. There is. But it wasn't what I thought. This is what I thought lying in bed, before the crack of dawn.



Tough times are not theoretical. For the most part, the haves have less, and the have nots most definitely have not. It's easy to package things up in nice little numbers, and bandy them about. But in the real world, the digits get restless, We're flesh and blood, and our children get hungry. Often.



It's easy to cast blame. Just… Continue

Duality/Non Duality

Duality/Non-Duality

Both exist...

To strive for Non-Duality?...

The same as striving for perfection___

to be perfectly "holy", free of all sin?

In striving for perfection

can we live in awareness?

Can we experience the joy,

the peace just from the experience?

Does the mountain only seem to get higher?

If we do reach atop, is it high enough?

Striving for perfection...

missing so many moments, so many

smiles, blooms, wings,… Continue

Creation Sees Empty Full

Creation sees emptiness and full together, for it sees apparent emptiness as the foundation of possibility,
and possibility realized is full of all that made that possibility. And realized possibility is empty______open
to more possibility, different directions, other doors, options, uses beyond our knowing and reasons beyond
our intentions.

My Life In A Nutshell (If It Isn't Too Late)

I was born on a cold night in a high desert. Raised by crazy people on a highway. The first song I remember hearing on the radio was "Hound Dog" by Elvis Presley. The next song I remember hearing on the radio was "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" by the Beatles. I liked 'em both. A lot. I rambled and ambled for years. Only stole one car, only spent one night in jail. Eventually landed in Hollywood. A parody of itself, where I never became a parody of myself (and hope never to). I've dined at exquisite,… Continue

Thanksgiving Dinner With The Elves

I believe I would like to spend just one Thanksgiving with Santa's elves. They seem like they could use a good feast before the crunch time of Christmas happens. And they seem like such an industrious and creative bunch. Cheerful too, at least by reputation.



I had thought the reindeer might be nice to invite... but having spent a bit of time around deer, I know they have trouble controlling their bowels in public situations. And besides, they have more opportunity to get out and… Continue

A cabin anywhere
where the north winds blow
in the middle of the woods
the furious snow
makes not a sound
its there i must go
smoke from the chimney
unfurling as tho
it could reach the heavens and
continue to go
till there is no tomorrow
nor a day left to know
saturated in silence
its there i must go
my mind is racing
the seasons pass slow
for at least a century
near the river flow

Response to Rick's blog, Spending the day...

Intimate time with Jesus is beyond beautiful, beyond magnificent, beyond description...it is the time apart that

feels like seperation...living between two worlds...that is unbearable...

Sometimes wonder if I should have been

much more careful of what I prayed for...



Lord,

Let me sleep tonight

on Your couch

Not share our mattress

Let me rest my head

put it

to bed...



Can't you see my Love

has swelled

to bag my… Continue

Who I'd Spend An Imaginary Day with

I wouldn't mind spending the day with Abe Lincoln, Carl Sandburg, Jesus, my grandpa, my uncle Larry, or maybe aunt Trinna. But I think if push came to shove It would be a toss up between Jesus and great uncle Bert Lockwood. Uncle Bert was the black sheep of the Munday clan. Died on the streets of Wichita - an alcoholic wreck or so we're told. Died 44 years ago.



Uncle Bert was a poet- his only published work a very intuitive and wrenching portrayal of war and war profiteers.… Continue

My Thanksgiving

This is a no brainer for me. I would spend my Thanksgiving with some of the greatest minds ever. Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison. They changed the world in immeasurable ways in their lifetimes. I would love to talk to them, find out what made them tick, and how their minds worked. There would be no way to duplicate that greatness but I'm sure that some of it would have rubbed off on me. The other person I would have at the table is Ralph Waldo Emerson. He was such an insightful man and I… Continue

Dad

My Dad passed away to be with his maker this past Monday, November 9, 2009. He was a strong willed, stubborn, determined man of 86 years. Dad brought us up with tough love but nothing compared to how he was raised. His father was a very mean man and very abusive. Daddy was always in control of everything or so he thought. He was tough on Mom also. Mom passed away in June 2002 from Pick's Disease. Similar in the last stages to Alzheimer's. Daddy was a difficult man to make happy or please and so… Continue

My oldest daughter's first day at kindergarten....written circa 2000--edited many times, including today. This was was acutally published!

Heather's first day of Kindergarten---



It began as any other autumn day. The sun was shining; not a cloud in the sky. As I listened to the birds welcoming the new day, it dawned on me. Today was not a typical day. This morning, my daughter will spend her first day in kindergarten. After a little self-talk to stop my heart from hammering, a good stretch and a moment of prayer, I vowed I would survive.



We have been talking about it for months. The new lunchbox had been… Continue

My date with Dolly

Growing up, my dad was a country singer/comedian. We traveled all over the country doing shows. I got to be on stage with him at the Grand Ole Opry when I was pretty young but I still remember it.



I sang some with him when I was younger but stopped as I started getting into the teen years. Probably a good thing, I think people liked me because I was young and all. Anyway, I got to meet some of the biggest country music stars of the time. I met Ernest Tubb, Charlie Walker, Lorrie… Continue
