I write, I always have.
One of my first memories is of scrawling across several pages of my Aunt's Basildon Bond best paper thinking and believing at the time that I was composing a letter. I got in trouble for wasting the posh paper - but a habit had been formed.
Nowadays, despite a quirky dyslexic moment, I do actually write words rather than looping scrawl and my focus is on lyrics, poems, articles and my first book draft is underway. I also keep a copious journal and attend to the odd blog here and there on various sites and spaces.
I write songs. I sing some of those songs and others sing some too. See www.myspace.com/hatchandjaconello ...... you can find the song version of "The Message" there - amongst others.
I'm into holistic health and many forms of healing .... energy medicine if you like. (Sound healing, Reiki, crystals, NLP, vibrational healing, nutrition, pilates and nature). The dynamics of energy fascinate me - and I believe there is so much more for us all to learn or should I say, re-learn.
I'm passionate about self expression. I realised that after not doing it for a while. I believe it's important to create, communicate and express in whatever ways and forms feel good and OK for you. Maybe a more apt term is "true expression", the kind that comes from the soul and doesn't seek approval and isn't based on fear. "Walk your talk" and all that ...... so I decided to come out of the writers closet and do it!
Thanks for stopping by ... xx..
O.K.
Suddenly, suddenly
I can see, I can see
Quietly, quietly, she comes
Honesty, honesty
I can feel, I can feel
Silently, silently, I know
And there's a place inside
Where love can light the way
And when I face the day
And live my life o.k., o.k.,
O.K. ...
All I know, all I know is revealed
THE MESSAGE
You look for the big message
And I show myself in many ways
You look for me outside yourself
And I am within you, inside your heart
I'm in every whispering voice
Every leaf that grows and falls
Every bird that flies, every drop of rain
Every star that shines and falls
So look for me in the quiet places
At night time, beside your bed
Feeling the rush of love at your heart
And watching the dawn break
I'm in every song you sing
Every friend you meet, every risk you're taking
I'm in every battle you face
All the words you say, every sunlit day
In all the dust that settles
In every baby's cry
I'm in all of your falling tears
In all of your hearts desires
I am with you all the way
In all of your hearts desires
I am with you all the way
Throughout all the years so
I am with you all the way
xx

DANCING STARS
How can we feel alone
When there is so much more than meets the eye
More than the mind can understand
More than the hands can touch
More to this world than we may ever know

AMAZE
What do we want - God to descend?
Love in our veins - the nightmare ends ....
What are we praying for - life without end?
The glory of days - the seasons change ....
The time has come
For us to find our way home
All through each night
The stars light our way
We don't need to change the world
We need to change our minds
Remember, remember and pray
With the strength and the power - trust built hour by hour
The reasons we came - an end to the pain
So as we face - the world and its ways
Please give us the grace - and we will never cease to amaze
The time has come
For us to find our way home
All through each night
The stars light our way
We don't need to change the world
We need to change our minds
Remember, remember and pray

RAW
We gave each other no room to breathe
No rest from the aching hearts and broken dreams
I laid my anger at your door
What did you do - except love me even more

PASSING LIGHT
And in each passing there shall be light....
Left to shine on in the hearts of others
The tales they tell, the lessons bestowed
All there for the world to benefit from
And in each tear there shall be healing....
A coming to terms, an understanding of
What each day of our new lives will bring
As we draw on our own inner strength
And the loving support of those around us
And in each dawn there shall be hope....
A rising up of thought and infinite wisdom
Each bridge crossed, each 'first time without'
Will bring comfort in its own sweet way
And in all our lives we will know
The power of a love that transcends this plane
A love that visits us as we sleep, encourages us as we work
And enfolds us as we weep
And a love that endures as we begin to smile once more....
With each memory, fondness and remembering
For in each passing there is light
