You’ll never find, as long as you live
Someone who loves you tender like I do
You’ll never find, no matter where you search
Someone who cares about you the way I do

Whoa, I’m not braggin’ on myself, baby
But I’m the one who loves you
And there’s no one else, noone else

You’ll never find, it’ll take the end of all time
Someone to understand you like I do
You’ll never find the rhythm, the rhyme
All the magic we shared, just us two

Whoa, I’m not tryin’ to make you stay, baby
But I know some how, some day, some way
You’re gonna miss my lovin’
You’re gonna miss, you’re gonna miss my love

Whoa, oh you’re gonna miss my lovin’
Late in the midnight hour, baby, you’re gonna miss my lovin’
When it’s cold outside, you’re gonna miss my lovin’
You’re gonna miss, you’re gonna miss my love

You’ll never find another love like mine
Someone who needs you like I do
You’ll never see what you’ve found in me
You’ll keep searching and searching your whole life through
Whoa, I don’t wish you no bad luck, baby
But there’s no ifs and buts or maybes

You’re gonna miss my lovin’
You’re gonna miss my lovin’
I know you’re gonna miss my lovin’
You’re gonna miss, you’re gonna miss my love

Amazing words to go forward with in the new year:

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we un-consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we feel liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

– Marianne Williamson, “A Return to Love”

(often mistakenly attributed to Nelson Mandela)

It is amazing how life works sometimes. You can get yourself all worked up trying to “make” things happen and end up feeling like you are spinning in circles with no tangible results. And then with no warning, things may just start to come together and all you can say is “nothing before its time”.

Nooo, say it isn’t so! Apparently Alaska may lose their Northern Lights in another 50 years or so. Luckily they wouldn’t be gone forever, just more visible in Siberia and Europe. So says a report presented to the American Geophysical Union recently according to an article I read recently. It seems the Earth’s North Magnetic Pole is moving (as it does over time). Interesting, no?

For more info on the Northern Lights, NORDLYS has some amazing photos plus info on research, measurements, mythology.
