AM's "One Love" music video:


Are you like a stone?
Are you a riddle in a poem?
Are you that voice in my head?
Are you the drop when I fall off the edge?
I want to be an angel.
I want to walk on the sea.
So why do some people seem so unable to love without judging me?

What happened to one love?
What happened to love thy neighbor?

I've got so many questions
It's kinda funny 'cause there's always somebody with all of the answers
Making me wrong.
Will I go to Heaven?
Have I been good?
Should I be better?
Well...I do no one thing,
we may be different...but we're still the same.

And what happened to one love?
What happened to love thy neighbor?

Compassion is what we need.
Learn to be free...

What happened to one love?
What happened to love thy neighbor?

Lyrics written by Anne-Marie Pauley



I dedicated this song and video to a world in need of change. May we each ask ourselves these very same questions. Maybe one day we'll have all the answers, and maybe one day we'll go to Heaven...where we are one.


Until then, peace & wisdom to you.

-AM

My story. My song...and my prayer for life, forever.

"Angel Out There" ...this is a song I wrote when I was nineteen years old. I remember I was lying on the floor in some disheveled bedroom that had been converted into a low rent, in-home recording studio. It was late that night, my head had collapsed into both of my hands and I felt my mind imploding inside of my bleached blond head. I was pensive and thinking to myself...will I ever make it? I had written at least fifty songs by the time I was nineteen. I wrote and recorded my first original song during the summer of '97, just before 9th grade. I was fourteen. I even managed to give Garth Brooks a copy of my demo a year later, in 1998. Garth was in Phoenix playing baseball during spring training, I lived in Phoenix. I had two original songs on a demo back then, I was so proud of myself and I was on this incredible and confident, victorious high. I was ready to rock the world! It's funny looking back, I was so incredibly ambitious as a kid, it blows me away when I ...

We're not big and we're not small because who we are can't be measured or compared, not with anyone or anything or any other life out there. We don't have edges, we're not a cliff off a canyon. We don't have sides, we're not a box. We don't have walls. And anyone who tries to climb over yours has surely lost their way because there is no wall to climb. There is just... you. Sad you. Happy you. Hurt you. Brave you. Honest you. Broken you. Angry you. Lonely you. Enthralled you. Fantastic... you. You're not an object, and though you may feel objectified and on edge, boxed into a life you didn't want, you're actually a platform. You were built by the mercy of your own will to carry on, to keep dancing - to keep smiling because darling, this is theatre!!! And all life is a stage and you're on it. You decide if the show must go on. And the show must go on. We don't choose this life, you see. It chooses us like a stylist chooses our dress, o...

"Yoga is the spirit and practice of moving into stillness." -Erich Schiffmann, Yoga Master & Author. You don't have to do asanas (poses) to do yoga. Yoga is a consciousness shifter. So, whatever that takes - therein lies your practice. And...we need to make sure we're tuning into our thinking . 'Thought' is the origin of consciousness, in my opinion. Everything begins with a single thought. Thought makes the world go round and round and round and round, not money. Money makes the world go insane, for the most part. Love doesn't really make the world twist and turn either, unfortunately. But thought ...thought will spin the earth in circles ‘til the cows come home - 'til the fat lady sings, if she ever sings. I know I'm enthusiastically anticipating the sound of the robust lady's voice. Whatever that even means. Maybe it just means there's hope for those who wait. I wait very impatiently. Speaking of impatie...
