Pay-It-Forward Angels are off to a GREAT start here on ActiveRain.......
I'm seeing such wonderful things in just the first few days of our Pay-It-Forward group. I encourage everyone to join. You'll receive 2,500 points each month for being accountable, but beyond that you will become part of a group that has something special, and you'll tap into a very powerful energy that is growing at the early stages here on ActiveRain.
I just got through reading a post by Collette Sarmento entitled I Love The Seniors. It's a great example of Paying-It-Forward.
But that particular post gave me flashbacks of a particular music video.
I'm not sure how many of you are fans of Natalie Merchant and 10,000 maniacs (am I dating myself?!), but Collette's post immediately threw me back to a song of theirs titled "Trouble Me". I've posted their video and lyrics here:
Trouble me
disturb me with all your cares and you worries
Trouble me
on the days when you feel spent
Why let your shoulders bend underneath this burden
when my back is sturdy and strong?
trouble me
Speak to me
don't mislead me, the calm I feel means a storm is swelling
there's no telling where it starts or how it ends
Speak to me
why are you building this thick brick wall to defend me
when your silence is my greatest fear?
Why let your shoulders bend underneath this burden
when my back is sturdy and strong?
speak to me.
Let me
have a look inside these eyes while I'm learning
please don't hide them just because of tears
Let me
send you off to sleep with a
" there, there, now stop your turning and tossing"
Let me
know where the hurt is and how to heal.
Spare me?
don't spare me anything troubling
Trouble me
disturb me with all your cares and you worries
Speak to me
and let our words build a shelter from the storm
Lastly,
let me know what I can mend
There's more, honestly, than my sweet friend, you can see
trust is what I'm offering if you
trouble me
