Meyers Music and Meditation
A Personal Message From Daryl
In a world where sadness and sorrow are the daily companions of many; where competition has taken the place of compassion, and power the place of peace. In a world where courage gives way to fear and greed is blind to need, we must continue to believe; to hope that someday there will be a new tomorrow, that we will see the dawn of a new day in which the rights of all are respected and the potential of all encouraged … a new world … someday … soon
“Someday,” has been written as a reminder of who we are and how much we share in common … good times and not so good; times of joy, sorrow … pleasure, pain … and all the other experiences we go through. Ours is a journey together on an amazing adventure called life. “Someday” reminds us that we are never alone and never will be. It encourages us to go deeper … see further … to awaken to the possibilities of a better today and an even grander tomorrow. It looks forward to a future not only hoped for but one that could become a reality … a new world … someday … soon.

The following essays address many of the issues and challenges common to us all and are not so much a guide to be followed as they are a reflection of the author’s personal journey as well as much he still has to learn. They were written over a period of many years under different circumstances with no particular theological or cultural perspective in mind and are meant to support people everywhere of all backgrounds. Though expressed in different ways, the reader will find certain themes emphasized or repeated such as the importance of time apart (becoming more centered) and the close relationship there is, and the interdependence that exists throughout all creation...
