Take the third line of the last song you heard, make it your post title, and write for a maximum of 15 minutes. GO!
Bette Midler’s The Rose is my favouirte empowerment song. I love to lie on the floor, in the dark and listen to it played—loud and proud. This song motivates me and reminds me risks are worth taking and growth takes time and nurturing.
As one of the opening lines of The Rose, the third line “some say love, it is a razor” uses vivid powerful imagery. A razor like love can be a positive or a negative experience. It can
- Tidy new hair growth
- Trim a mustache or beard
- Transform faces, legs and other body parts
- Terminate a life
The secret is to trust the the person in control of the razor—yourself included.
If you are scared of ever bleeding from a razor cut—you will never know the freedom and beauty that comes from feeling your freshly shaven, clean subtle skin. “Feel my skin, it feels so soft” are words often used by many of us to share our experience with others. This invitation increases the intimacy between us and often leads to love.

fascinating how most things can be a positive or a negative depending on how you look at it. I love that song too and I love that Bette Middler can sing such a poignant song and also knock a comedy song out of the water… she’s quite a mermaid as well!
Yes she is a woman of many talents. I always look for the positive in every situation even when it is hiding.
