Catalyst

Why does there have to be only one way to be right???

Reinvention isn't for the
Ones who avoid intervention
Things that worked then had their reason
Outgrown systems need attention

Now is a new day
Change is upon us
Open your mind wide
Life is a catalyst

Time awaiting steps we're taking
Foresight, insight, rearranging
Moving in collaboration
Listening and re-engaging

Now is a new day
Change is upon us
Open your mind wide
Life is a catalyst

For dissipating greed and angry
Pockets holding change resisting
Anything remotely close to
Fears so deeply rooted in the
Programming that ran the thing back then..
Well this is Now- feel a new day
Hope is within us
Open your mind wide
Life is a catalyst

Old dogs learn new tricks
Good is the new rich
Learning to teach with
Hands on assertive
Creative compassion 
That flexes and forges
The way to a new day
Change is upon us
Open your heart wide
Life is a catalyst

Whole- Inspired by Geoffrey Canada at OSU

WHOLE
By Shawna Ray today, 2/13/13
Idea for Whole Health Outreach Learning & Engagement/Empowerment
Inspired by Geoffrey Canada's books and speaking at the Ohio State University about "cradle to college" community change and this past year of new awareness and lessons learned through the changes and challenges working in Weinland Park and also in the poverty of office systems. Also messages from Pastor Matt Rice at Life Church about Spirit-receiving, Soul, mind processing emotions, and body thats moving...

(vs 1)
Pieces and parts
Where does it start?
Conceive to college
Learning in birth

Feeling it all
Positive thoughts
Leading to purpose
Lifting our worth

(chorus)
Spirit Body and Soul
Human and Whole; Learning and Health
Mental and Physical
Stable the Core; Hopeful in love
Wholeness is Wellness
Wellness is Whole
Whole, Whole

(vs 2)
Recovery
Root of money
Meant to be traded
Meeting a need

Reprogramming
Research showing
Increment changes
Community

(chorus)

Core of the Need

Some will sit on the board and a high horse
Some will judge moving power and politics
Underneath layered deep
There's a person who's feeling hopeless

Meet me at the core of the need
Take time to feel, help and see
You will learn just as much as you think you can teach
At the core of the need
Core of the need

Building relationships can be challenging
Change will come when the one is empowering
Are you willing to get a little messy
Leave your title and agenda at the door please

Meet me at the core of the need
Take time to feel, help and see
You will learn just as much as you think you can teach
At the core of the need
The core of the need...

Is love and understanding
Survival living will multiply pain
Show and share with me
If you just tell me I won't hear a thing
And if you only throw money some things will never change...
Until you meet me at the core of the need
Take time to feel, help and see
You will learn just as much as you think you can teach
At the core of the need
Core of the need
Core of the need
Core of the need
