We all need help maintaining our personal spiritual practice. We hope that these Midday Meditations, prayers and mindful awareness exercises can be part of bringing spirituality alive in your life.



Today's meditation features a song by singer/songwriter Jose Gonzalez. "Heartbeats" is a melancholy meditation on the support we can and can't rely on from "hands of above" when times get tough.

"Heartbeats"

One night to be confused

One night to speed up truth

We had a promise made

Four hands and then away



Both under influence

We had divine scent

To know what to say

Mind is a razor blade



To call for hands of above

To lean on

Wouldn't be good enough

For me, no



One night of magic rush

The start a simple touch

One night to push and scream

And then relief



Ten days of perfect tunes

The colors red and blue

We had a promise made

We were in love



To call for hands of above

To lean on

Wouldn't be good enough

For me, no



To call for hands of above

To lean on

Wouldn't be good enough



And you, you knew the hands of the devil

And you, kept us awake with wolf teeth

Sharing different heartbeats

In one night



To call for hands of above

To lean on

Wouldn't be good enough

For me, no



To call for hands of above

To lean on

Wouldn't be good enough

For me, no
