Trip, a song lyric by Alan Ewing

TRIP

a song lyric by Alan Ewing

All of the people that you use

Emotionally abuse

You etch out lies as the truth

As you blow another fuse

Chorus

I don't wannabe part of your trip

I can't fit in to be hip

I don't wannabe, don't wannbe.

Part of your trip

How you like to play your game

Psychologically frame

Looking at the mirror on wall

We all wait to see your fall

Repeat Chorus

Middle Eight

I was never going to be part of your crowd

The years have proved it, oh so loud

I guess that my mentor is myself

Why would I listen to anyone else?

Repeat Chorus

Ruminations, a rumination by Alan Ewing

Ruminations

a rumination by Alan Ewing

I love to ruminate
As I go deep
I love to frustrate
I'm not cheap

Rumination is good
For the mind
Think as you should
Think in kind

Do some brooding
Get in style
Your own choosing
Think a while

Obsess a subject
If you must
And reject
All without trust

Kirsty Jo, a lyric by Alan Ewing

Kirsty Jo

lyrics by Alan Ewing

You've been down, around the town

Never smiling, with a frown

Such bad days and all their ways

Come the hour, there's girl power

Pretty ribbons in your hair

Make me dance without a care

I don't need to confer

[Chorus]

Hey Kirsty Jo, you've got a long way to go

Hey Kirsty Jo, play some records that you'll know

So lift your heart - a new start

Give your best - and pass the test

It's alright - give all your might

It's your need - to succeed

[Repeat Chorus]

I Sauntered Alone, Along The Walk Way (a tribute to the humble Dandelion) by Alan Ewing

I Sauntered Alone Along The Walk Way

(a tribute to the humble Dandelion) by Alan Ewing

I sauntered alone, along the walk way

All at once, a sight brightened my day

For there, they were, a sight to behold

Their yellow shining in the sun like gold

They really took my breath away

It felt that they had a lot to say

They shimmered in the slightest breeze

Giving the eye so much to please

Unheralded, as they line our paths

Never worthy of a glance

But to me they are life itself

Who could wish for anything else?

And so I make my case for them

As flowers bloom upon their stem

Who is to cast them as a weed?

When God has scattered such a seed

Beautiful Dandelion, flowers so bright

To live life you have every right

To bring beauty into concrete misery

You mean everything to me

The Cross, The Resurrection, The Ascension & The Parousia, a blog with music track, by Alan Ewing

The Cross, The Resurrection, The Ascension & The Parousia

a blog with music by Alan Ewing

The Cross

Grace: an unmerited favour from God, which saves all from themselves, received through supernatural existential within human beings [Karl Rahner, theologian], which, in 21st Century scientific terms, would equate to macro-existentialism which can reach into the micro-existentialism of homo sapient species, all in keeping with Complexity, part of the scientific laws of physics in which the greater transfers energy to the lower.

The Resurrection, The Ascension & The Parousia

The Resurrection

meets an age of disbelief

Ascension Eternal

no war, death, crying, no grief

all pain and suffering brought into relief

Hallelujah! Praise!

The King of Kings shall reign

no disease, poverty, or love in vain

Revelation: The Parousia

for well we know The Kingdom is Thine

Eternity beyond the bonds of time

Recluse, lyric by Alan Ewing & Martin Karlsson

Verse 1.
I live alone with my pain
I enjoy it so much
I wanna feel things every day
So fun to enjoy life

Chorus.

Live like a recluse

You know that it's no use

You seek out to just hide

Hide out in my mind

Shut out the whole world

Nothing has been heard

Society is so mad

I'm lost and I'm glad

Verse 2.
I live alone with my brain
I enjoy it so much
I wanna eat my own brain
And then give it away for free

Repeat Chorus.

Modern Catholicism, a spiritual reflection by Alan Ewing

MODERN CATHOLICISM

a spiritual reflection by Alan Ewing

The results of the 2021 UK census revealed that less than half of UK see themselves as Christian. Does that mean attending a stone building once a week? Being part of an exclusive club? Therein lies the challenge for the Followers of The Way. It is not enough to go through the motions of ritual. Hearts and minds have to be reached. How? Young people have a great sense of spiritual realms. Social media is often an outlet. The new generation carry their church around with them. Ironically, this is what Jesus wanted.

A new church must arise. It is so vital that Jesus remains contemporary. He was the ultimate rebel. He turned the world upon its head. Taught values that nobody could see ...still can't. This was permeated by the establishment and it quite obviously made alternative beliefs more conformist. To retain Jesus means reinvention. A realisation that He walks beside us in everything. Not just the good times, though also the times of suffering and angst. Quite easy when you look at how He lived.

So, yes, Christianity can live on ...though in a new form. A spiritual form, rather than based on buildings and social norms. As though Jesus ever did that! In my own personal life then I have always clung to Him. Always seen Him as Master and Lord. Though I feel that the people that He hung out with were the type of people that I relate to. People who know their faults. People who are liable to drive hippy vans or dress up as punks. Because Love knows no boundaries, and the best human example of that lies in Jesus.

Call it modern Catholicism. Call it what you will. I see it as The Love of God reaching into every corner of life that it can find. This is the challenge that 'the church' faces.
