There's No one...

I had the pleasure of dining at the Leela Palace for Champagne Brunch Sunday's.  It was absolutely splendid!  The decorum was fabulous, food impeccable, live music soothing, it was great.  Absolutely great:)  I sat there savoring the ambiance.  I wanted to taste every face, every sound, every smell in the room.  At one point, the singers started to sing "No one" by Alicia Keys and saw that we were mouthing the words.  She had previously told us that we looked like singers.  So, I guess she took this as her opportunity to allow us to have a karaoke moment.  I saw her approaching and my first thought were: no, please don't try and have me sing.  But by the time she got to our table, I was like: you know what? I'm going to sing like no one can hear me...and I did:)  I opened up my throat and started with : I just want you close....where you can stay forever.  You can be sure....that it will only get better.   You and me together, through the days and nights, I don't worry cause' everything's gonna be alright. And the more I sung, the more meaning the words had for me.  This love wasn't about a man, it was about my love affair with me. People keep talkin', they can say what they like, but all I know is everything's gonna be alright.  Before I knew what was happening tears had sprung into my eyes as my body became heated as the following words flowed through me. No one, No one, No ooonnneee, can get in the way of what I'm feelin'!  No one, no one, NO ONNEEEE, can get in the way of what I feel for you! Yooouuuuu.....youuuuu.....youuuuuuu , can get in the way of what I feel for you.   Never before had this song held so much meaning.  This was a love like no other love before.  It was the God in me.  It was my essence.  It was my womanhood.  My faults, my triumphs, my supreme beauty.  Nothing would ever get in the way of that.  When the rain is pouring down and my heart is hurting, You will always be around, this I know for certain.  As I continued with the song, I felt my body tremble.  I felt magnetic, energized, full of love and life and promise.  I felt humbled and favored that I was chosen to experience this moment.  I thought back to the many journeys that I've taken in life.  The quest and yearning for something more...I know some people search the world to find something like what we have, I know people will try, try to divide something so real, so 'til the end of time, I'm telling you there is no one....This will now be my song of praise.  It will now be my reminder to love and hold onto me...to the God within.  It is only when you can truly love yourself, that you can emit that love to all those who encounter you.  I'm so full:)  My cup runneth over....
