ABOUT THIS SONG
After 12 years of writing songs to flesh out the Jesus story for my Easter and Christmas programs at Unity of San Luis Obispo, California, I had all but run out of topics that were part of the story, which so many know. Something turned my attention to the manger upon which baby Jesus lay. Since I view the world as multidimensional and have no trouble giving consciousness to rocks, trees, animals, elements, etc. it was no leap for me to start thinking from the perspective of the straw. It most certainly has a story...and it is a beautiful one...out in the sun amidst the field of gold, lived the holy grain, or so the story goes...

The song turned into a very inspiring song with a lilting melody and feel that pulls me back to my lives as a wandering minstrel in medieval England...yes, I remember them quite well.It is a ballad, a story, with a multi-tiered message. Show up. Trust the moment and act upon the guidance as you never know where it might lead you. And, you and I do not know our full power, presence, and purpose yet...we just might be the one chosen to make the difference for the masses. So, the invitation is to show with a kind of expectant knowing that ever event is special, filled with the potential for something magnificent, that may not reveal itself until you have committed and have taken good faith leaps into it already.

...he never thought he's leave the field...he never thought he'd cradle the boy...he never let one limitation...rob him of inherent joy...

Set your purpose on the full moon's eve and move forth knowing that something remarkable will manifest on the adventure when you least expect it...enjoy the ballad...
SONG LYRICS:  BALLAD OF THE LITTLE STRAW
 
Out in the sun midst a field of gold
Lived a holy grain So the story goes
Strong and tall fragrant, too
It was cut one eve When the moon was new
 
Into a cart o’er the dusty roads
To Bethlehem the straw did go
Found its way to a manger where
It was placed with gentle loving care
 
     Then a man and a woman Arrived one night
     They had no place to go
     They gathered and blessed And laid the straw
     Into a manger where They placed their child fair
 
To the child’s weight  Did the straw respond
It gave support kept the Child warm
Soon it glowed as if Receiving light
Till in radiance it lit the night
 
There was something about That little boy
That brought this straw Consuming joy
The more it felt the more it gave
In this exchange a foundation was laid
 
     This is a life of love and sharing
     This is a life that grows
     This is a life where We never know
     Just where the path will go
     Be like the straw and go
 
     He never thought he’d Leave the field
     He never thought he’d Cradle the boy
     He never let one limitation Rob him of inherent joy
 
     So never think you’re Unimportant
     For you might be the Chosen one
     To lead this world Into the future
     Birth the light in someone
    
     This is a life of love and sharing
     This is a life that grows
     This is a life where We never know
     Just where the path will go
     Be like the straw and go
 
Out in the sun midst a field of gold
Lived a holy grain So the story goes
Strong and tall fragrant, too
It was cut one eve When the moon was new
