leaving for a show

 

everything

we all feel the affect

i sat there last night

in my windbreaker

hat

boots

Jesus said many things

mostly about hell

but too about crosses

denying ourselves

serving

calling God "Daddy"

commanded us to eat His Flesh

drink His Blood

crazy stuff!

"before Abraham I am"

changed water to really good wine

walked on water

ate fish

went without food for 40 days and nights

hung out with hick fisherman

whores

tax collectors

accused of drinking too much

spit upon

beard pulled out

so afraid he sweat blood

this is who we follow

He never promised to make us happy

wealthy

well

at least not during the cross carrying days on this earth

"abundant life" must mean something we don't get

and having a "personal relationship" with Jesus?

we should be very careful with this thinking

It can greatly water down what He wants from us,

everything.

the occasional breeze

i don't know

i am not sure

i hope

i doubt

i believe

i reason

i fail

i stumble

i try

i am insecure

i am over confident

i am prideful

i don't know if i am humble

the desert is getting too familiar

never comfortable

but familiar

i am sick of it

sick of wandering

Moses left already

it's just us sheep

mostly alone

except for our rosaries

our novenas

and the occasional breeze we call grace

One in Three

come on Father!

come on Son!

come on Spirit!

can i be one?

don't You want me to go?

i guess You see it different than me

as i'm left wondering

shaking like a leaf

will You let me take to the road?

let me in

let me go

or will i remain?

in this prison of pity

in this doubting dungeon

in this cave of confusion

in this daunting dysfunction

here i am

here i am

use me

if You can

in spite of me

i'm on my knees

come on Beloved

come on One in Three..!

Tear in the Desert

       Lord willing, if all goes well, over the next year a film will begin production called Tear in the Desert. After my appearance on "The Journey Home" i received hundreds of emails from around the world. In fact, even after 3 months i still feel the ripples in the pond. But one email was from a man named Christian Peshkin. Christian is film producer. He had purchased the rights to a book written by Navy Chaplin Fr. Ron Moses Camarda called Tear in the Desert.  Fr. Ron Moses Camarda had spent 9 months in Fallujah in 2004. This was the most brutal 9 months of the war. Fr. Camarda had also seen my hour on "The Journey Home". He sent me the book and the inspiration began. They had been to my site, listened to my music, and felt confident i was meant to do the music for the film! WOW! i am humbled and excited. i have written 10 songs for the project. The plan at the moment is for the next W. Keith Moore album/CD to be called "Tear in the Desert". It will be released before the film is finished. Hopefully, the CD will be out by April or May. One is never sure how the Lord in His mercy guides these ships. The soundtrack for the film will include these songs from the album, plus instrumental pieces not on the pre-released CD.

 

            This is going to be a journey. As most of you know from looking in the "Fridge" on my site, i record all of my songs alone on my "Garage Band" software in my studio ( in the garage). I usually make everything available as I finish them. i am not sure which of the other tunes for the film will appear in the fridge, but i will let you know. i hope to find a studio and the funds to go in and record with a band soon.

 

         i am using this song, "Prizes for Peace", inspired by my time in Fr. Camarda's book,  also inspired by the most recent event of President Obama winning the Nobel Prize for Peace, to make this announcement because of the timeliness of it.

 

Please go to Amazon and check out Fr. Camarda's book, "Tear in the Desert"

peace, and please keep me, and this project in your prayers, and don't forget to tell all your friends to go to my "STORE" and buy a Beloved and Soul CD for themselves and one for our Soldiers and Marines in Afghanistan. http://www.wkeithmoore.com/store.htm

Levi

 Levi is missing

he is my favorite cat

if i were a cat,

i would want to be like Levi

very kind

crafty

knows how to diffuse aggression

handsome

regal

playful

very tall and lean

i fear he may be lost

it has been two weeks

we have looked everywhere

asked everyone

it hurts

at night especially

the unknown

where is he?

even in this

i must trust Beloved

He said to cast all..

all

all of my anxiety

not some,

all,

upon Him..

i am casting..

a Zombie Big Elvis

as we get older

we look for laughter

we hope for grace

we search for sanity

an Elvis impersonator

dressed as a zombie big Elvis

 a Halloween party

a very large man

in a black sequined jumpsuit

with a face painted white to insinuate

a very dead Elvis...

dang he could sing like E!

we laughed hard when attempted the karate moves

we had just come from a concert i did

here in Oxford

one minute i was singing

"St. Augustine's Blues"

the next,

"CC Rider",

we mustn't take ourselves too serious

the sanity we look for

is sometimes in the most bizarre places

so is the laughter

so is the grace
