Randy Weeks - "The Invitation"

Randy sings his original song "The Invitation" at my home in Blue Ash, Cincinnati, Ohio. In the background is the sound of a "babbling brook" connecting two backyard ponds. Recorded on Sunday evening, July 26, 2009.

The Invitation
by Randy Weeks

"This is the Invitation
To a new conversation
Of depth over speed
Of gift over need
A new Listening..

The structure of how we gather
Speaks of what really matters
Telling a new
Story of Who
We are to each other

This is the Invitation
Community's Restoration
By just showing up
We're gifted enough
To birth a new world

An though I don't know what it will look like
We're feeling that world's alive
Like it's ready to bloom
Here in the room
The seeds in each life.

So community's new frontier
Is finding all that we need right here
To weave a rich local life
Into a tapestry lined
With the connections we share.

This is the invitation
To join a celebration
Of neighbors and friends
Connecting again
Creating the new...

Neighbors and friends
Connecting again
Creating the new.

My neighbors and friends
I'm glad to come in
And be here
With you."

There's an observable difference between a performance, and an exhibit of one's heart's work. Clearly, this vid is the latter. What talents you have, Randy, to be able to translate your action in the world into a soulful melody.
