From: The Whole Truth—The Spiritual Legacy of Paul Twitchell
Chapter 10

A few chapters back, we discussed the idea that by publicly passing judgment upon others we can freeze our perceptions about them and limit our ability to learn. When our criticisms are displayed before the world and we fight to defend what we have said, this tends to solidify our opinions. We become committed to a stance. We draw a line in the sand for the world to see, and this makes it more difficult for our point of view to flow and change smoothly to see things differently. This problem represents the tip of an interesting iceberg.

“Be the one who chooses love above all else.”

A short while after writing that line in the song, “Be the One,” I received word that a teammate from Linfield with whom I had played baseball was in hospice.

This year, on the date of the 2025 Spring Equinox, my wife and I signed up for Hulu, the streaming service now owned by Walt Disney. It seemed like a small, ordinary decision—just another subscription among many. But what followed was surprising.

As humans in a dynamic world, we’re constantly reminded of our vulnerabilities. Everyone’s life has ups and downs. Yet Spirit’s presence remains. How is it that some feel connected while others don’t? For me, it depends on where I put my attention. Recently, I took myself to lunch. Suddenly, it struck me that doing such a thing a few years ago would have been too painful!

What I’ve found, what so many others have already found, is their own special appointment with love.

It was July in eastern Washington and the early fruit was just starting to ripen. One of my Native American coworkers mentioned to me his uncle had a huge cherry tree in his backyard that was ready to pick. The old man loved cherries but was hoping someone could use some before the birds got them or they fell on the ground. As I love fresh cherries, I told him I was just the guy that could help him with that.

Since ancient times, mystics and seekers have spoken of a sacred sound—a living melody that flows through all of existence. Some describe it as celestial music, a subtle current of energy that calls the soul homeward. It is said that those who listen deeply may hear it as a whisper in the wind, a distant hum, or a chorus of unseen harmonies.

Song of the Soul is inspired by this idea—the notion that beyond the noise of everyday life, there exists a sound that nourishes, uplifts, and connects us to something greater than ourselves. This song is an invitation to listen—not just with the ears, but with the heart—to the music that has always been playing within.

A little card with a big mantra and sacred word on it reminded me recently that I am still where I need to be! I have sung this mantra most of my life; it is called “HU,” a love song to God. It balances me and allows me to be more loving. You can get HU cards and give them as gifts to people who are struggling.1 My mother likes to put them in coffee shops. I like to put them up on bulletin boards in parks.

I had written most of the words to “The Way of the Shaman” when a friend, Suzie Reeb, related a past-life memory of being a shaman in the area of Utah where the Anasazi once thrived. Her comments were a confirmation that the song, when finished, would touch the lives of others who had served life in such a way.

Suzie said the video brought back memories of joyful service. My favorite images in the video are accompanied by the words: “It’s all about love.” Please enjoy and share.

For over 25 years, I’ve written and shared a Christmas season poem with family and friends.

Each year Spirit leads. I begin by asking the Universe what that year’s theme will be. The wording of my question changes but the intent remains: “What theme does Spirit want me to explore?” And, “how can what I share about it so my words help the reader better realize their link to life’s gifts?”
