Often, I am nagged awake by an inspiration that compels me to write.\u00a0 Since taking on the writing of this column, I have become enthusiastically interested in discovering other artists and listening to their songs.\u00a0 Themes occur to me and I am pushed to write – to create articles to share what and whom I have discovered. ‘Write to Unite’<\/strong>\u00a0are the words that inspired this week\u2019s column.<\/p>\n

From the President to the pulpit, the call ‘Write to Unite‘<\/strong> as a country is growing and being taken up by millions of Americans inspired and motivated by tragedies both natural and man-made.<\/p>\n

A Country star, Jason Aldean<\/b> was on stage during the Las Vegas Massacre. After the event as the bodies were still being identified, he came out with a unifying message.\u00a0 Aldean<\/b> said:\u00a0 \u201cYou can be sure that we\u2019re going to walk through these tough times together, every step of the way.\u00a0 Because when America is at its best, our bond and our spirit – it\u2019s unbreakable.\u201d\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

The passion of this growing movement is undeniable.To ‘Write to Unite’ is exciting.<\/p>\n

David Moss<\/b>, the President of the Idaho Songwriters Association wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cOur emotions are our soul\u2019s guidance to us.\u00a0 The closer we are to fulfilling our purpose, the more excited we feel.\u00a0 This is what I believe.\u00a0 I can feel it.\u201d <\/i><\/p>\n

Every person feels excitement when they respond to the calling of their soul. From those wonderful Idaho songwriters I have been so compelled to meet came two perfect songs.<\/p>\n

From Idaho Songwriter, David Moss<\/b>, his song titled: Let the Change Begin With You<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The second songwriter I include here is Robert Houghton<\/b> with his song titled: Voices<\/i>.<\/p>\n

For a third song on this theme, I offer my own titled: The Universal Beat of a Loving Heart.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Included with each song is a recording and the words.<\/p>\n

I begin with David Moss.<\/b><\/p>\n

Here is David\u2019s statement: \u201cAfter a 15 hour overnight cab driver shift here in Boise, I felt compelled to write about this.\u00a0 I felt a real connection with the Human Condition.\u00a0 If people could realize that on\u00a0 individual levels, to change the world, the change begins with you.\u00a0 [That change begins] where you are right now.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
