Finding the extra ordinary ......you

In 1962, The Beatles,  (John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, George Harrison) became a household name when they burst on to the music scene with their song "Love Me Do". For the next eight years they composed music of such quality and depth, that many of their songs are considered "classics" on par with Mozart, Bach and other heavy weights.

Four ordinary guys from Liverpool managed to come up with a new kind of music, a new sound, with far reaching ramifications. In 1970, they broke up as a band, but their legacy, still carries on.

Ordinary people, can, and often do, do extra ordinary things.

 

Ordinary, they say,

is the common way.

Some call it normal

usually informal,

happens every day,

 quite colourless

and kinda grey.

 

Being the same,

playing the game,

nice and secure

void of allure.

And so it goes

time passes by,

until one day,

an ordinary day,

the time has come.

 

There is a shift,

you catch a whiff

of something else

a different self.

A chance to do

something new,

all it takes

is a different view.

 

The extra ordinary

hides within the ordinary,

silently waiting,

quietly anticipating,

for the time to come

for us to become,

all we can be.
