Solstice Prayer
Dhyanam, the sanskrit word for meditation. It can be broken down into two parts: Dhi and yana. The two root words mean simply to see clearly and to sacrifice, to offer back. So meditation then, dhyanama, is simply to see the truth and sacrifice everything else back into the ether. To live in that state, this is meditation.
Sarve Bhavantu sukhinah
Sarve santu niramayah
Sarve Bhadrani pashyantu
Ma Kashchid Duhka Bhag Bhavet
Om Shanti Shanti Shantih:
May all be happy,
May all be without sickness,
Slay the serpent,
Inertia put to rest,
May you not partake in the miseries,
But share and behold, the auspicious eternal peace.

Fated to Spiral
Imagine a serpent, chasing its tail.
Imagine a spiral, the shell of a snail.
Imagine your heart, the centre of the Taurus.
Imagine a note, as it sounds to the chorus.
To protect your heart, is to assume.
That God is malevolent, fated to doom.
As one half contracts, the other half blooms.
Cities rise and fall to ruins.
Shall we freeze, stuck and afraid?
Shall we fly, running away?
Shall we fight, resisting the curve?
Shall we fear the wolf and tether the herd?
My heart is not a finite resource.
My Love is not bothered by time.
The waves of the world are boundless,
The limits imposed by the mind.
Just let me love you, this is my branch….
I open my eyes,
I offer the trance.
Sing with me softly, Love with me true.
There’s nothing to stillness, it’s all that we do.
And I reach not towards or away,
for fated to spiral; I sway
Fated to spiral; I sway

What can I carve out for you with all that I am as a woman?
So we can ride out the ebbs and the flows as the waters keep on falling?
For even though I know that all that I see is just a reflection of what rests in me,
And all that makes me boil over with rage, lies dormant in my body,
my body’s like a cage.
And I just wanna let it out
And set myself free
Make love to the moment
so you can make love to me
I just wanna let it out
And toss it to the air
God can absolve it, baby i’ll meet you there
In the ever-present-holy-moment
What can you tether down for me with all that you are as my Adam?
So we can reach up and be the highest self that we can fathom.
Baby I just know we can hold space for one another to explore our demons as they try to pull us under.
Please don’t forget that the purest white light, lies sleeping in us even as we fight.
We’ve just got to let it out
And set ourselves free
Make love to the moment
so you can make love to me
Just gotta let it out
and toss it to the air
God will absolve it and baby I’ll meet you there
In the ever-present-holy-moment
Oh what we could create there in the fire of all that we are as lovers.
Reflecting on the fact that what’s lit up the sun, still, the darkness covers.
And both depend on one another.
And both exist because of the other.
So we could walk around and talk and dance around in circles resisting the forces forever.
But I just gotta let it out,
And set myself free
Make love to the moment
So the moment makes love to me
I just gotta let it out,
and toss it to the air
God will absolve it, and baby i’ll meet you there
In the ever-present-holy-moment

Love and Light

When you caught me eyes my heart made motions to hide.
But you moved your body like a being brought forth by light.
And the walls I’d built came tumbling down into the night.
As the space we made made all things fake slip away.
You’re my fairytale kinda dream boy.
But I’ve learned not to pigeon hole the infinite.
So as my mind’s eye tries to contain you,
I toss the mental frames into the sky.
To honour all you are the way the ocean
Honours every wave as the divine.
Strangers meet in the secret of the heart space
Helps one lose his mind.
Let the eyes be portals for answers to all that lends this life.
Love and Light.
Love and Light.

It's Universal

My mind buzzes wild like a swarm of honey bees
But I move like a withering willow.
And right before my eyes,
painted an expansive sky
and i make it with my mind
so i don’t have to chase it
I don’t have to make it
I don’t have to fake it
Like i’m happy.
Though I see a million ways to stretch out my sweet days
my body wants to laze
and make a dream of it
Though I’m not short of plans
Though i”m not short of ifs and ands
though i’m not short of anything you asked me for
My body likes to craze
all those slow sultry days
Days where nothing seems to matter.
And I no longer strive to prove
that i’m not going to lose
the game that I have been placed in.
My mind it likes to race
Like a swarm of honey bees
but my body moves like a withering willow
Yeah I feel like a withering willow
But the world outside is also in my mind
And it goes both ways; its universal
And there will come a time
when we all will reach our line
and turn back into that which made us sparkle
I feel your subtle gaze
and i know its just a phase
but i ride it like a wave
I am unstoppable
And thought its just a haze
and the days pass quickly
I’m reminded that the sun is me
when I read a story to me baby
I thank you wisdom
I thank you sky
For all that you are
For all that “i”
don’t have to be.

This is a song from your mother.
The greatest Lover,
The One Great Mother:
I will always love you
I will never tire
When you’re feeling cold and blue
I will be your fire
And i’m not the kind of mother
who gets annoyed
I love you always
You bring endless joys
So you don’t have to try and prove
What you’re worth
For I gave you all my love
When I gave you birth
There is nothing Out There
The isn’t in you already
For when I chose my baby
I birthed you ready
So you can rest my child
you can do no harm
I will love you always
I will be your mom
I will love you always,
I will quench your every thirst
For I am the water
and i will love you at your worst
So you can sleep my little baby
knowing you are just so fine
You are my baby
And your love is mine
I will love you always
I will love you always
In all your colours.
Go to sleep my little baby,
there is nothing to arrive at
there is nothing to achieve
you are my baby
and you’re living my dream

Oh how I’d like to know
what it will feel like when I’m old.
The fears and doubts and monsters
in their grace
Move like dancing little waves
Across my ever moving little mind
Only to find my starlight
Only to find my own life
Oh how I wish I were free
Free of the confines of my body
For though I may appear to be happy
The beasts caw
Like night hawks in my soul.
There have been times when I have felt like nothing could hurt me
as much as myself
and there have been times when I have worried that that were true.
There have been times when it has felt like a burden to be so beautiful
and there have been times when it felt like my own strength
was the true source
of my feeling
of never
being
enough
Oh what it will feel like to be old
To look back on the days I call now
Will I remember the nightfall?
Will I master my mind?
All the ways to fuck up
All the ways to give up
Will never match
all the ways
to be
enough

Your own Self

Take a deep breath in.
I …..
Have implied
That I will die
With my own life.
And You……
Have told
the same story
over and over
over and over…..
but we’re all just dying.
yeah we’re all just dying.
So many shapes
so many sounds
and it’s just light waves.
it’s just soundscapes
Take a deep breath in
Take a deep breath out
Move yourself
Dance about
I have never been so confused
and i have never been so true
….
as when I let you kiss me
as when I let you miss me
And I pray
I pray that you may
know your own self
as the God that you are.
