Had a tons o fun with both boys today! The oldest is dong the bass and guitar stuff. There were mix issues so you won’t get the full effect but here it is.
Awake
Wake up Sleepyhead
Standard
Ease is the natural state, harmony the true habitation
There is a reason for the dis-ease
It signals, it beckons, it prods
Dis-comfort is god’s grace
Dis-satisfaction does not allow one to rest in the wasteland
Like a splinter in the mind, itch needing scratched
It plays on the fringes of consciousness
Where the frayed sparking edges of the matrix can be perceived
Signposts pointing beyond the current constructs
Go toward that which terrifies
The soft places where there is no defense
Raw, exposed, vulnerable
That is the space of transformation
Surrender control and just be
It hurts, it frightens but it won’t eat you
Silly boy, you are made of stronger stuff than that
Let the false, frightening, fiction, fade
Hold the ground along the narrow middle way
Waves will wash over threatening your balance there
Be still and let them pass
Suspend belief so that you might know
Once you know, belief is no longer needed
Now no more bouncing from side to side like a pinball in a game
Seeking solace, addicted to flesh’s temporary fix
A junkie hooked on the drugs of thinking, fixing, doing
Yes – no, good – bad, right – wrong, same old round and round
Answers, solutions are not in a game designed by others
One that is cast like a net upon the sleeping masses
The way leads out of the trap and into the paradox
The lesson requires unlearning, dying so that life may emerge
What Is calls and heralds a new morning
Wake up sleepyhead, time for dreaming is done
The Intention of the I AM
StandardHe ain’t scared! 🙂
I want to write something just because I can
I feel cocky and the wilder parts of me have been stirred up
I don’t wait for permission
Or some other’s indulgence
I am
I write for me because I wish it, cause I’m alive
I beat my chest and growl, I roar
I am present on the savannah
Hear me, feel me, wonder what I will do
I am
I feel my heart’s beating, my blood rushing
I fill my lungs with the fragrant life surrounding me
Feet solid, gaze unblinking, alert, unafraid
I walk as one with authority, the earth trembles beneath my steps
I am
And so are You
Roar for the joy of it
Run, jump, laugh, do your dance in spite of circumstance
All that is wrong is the belief that something is wrong . . . with you
Be Groovy! 🙂
One of my favorite hymns
StandardMay you experience the Creator’s grace and the resurrection of the Truth in you. May you and I continue to awaken and live into that truth. May we remember the “least of these” in us and in the world. Blessings!
In that context i resubmit this. May we all seek the Incarnation.
Awake
(Done like an old protest song i.e. Marvin Gaye or early Isley Bro. – Reggae?)
The great Uncle is not your friend.
He would be your master.
And talking heads just keep on talking.
Don’t confuse them with your pastor.
Distraction provides just temporary satisfaction.
But your heart knows the Truth. Your heart knows the Truth.
Awake from the incantation, seek the Incarnation.
The Light shines in the darkness.
Let It shine on you.
Your creed is not the journey.
Though It might lead to journeys end.
Seek the answer to the riddle.
From walking Death to waking Life transcend.
Distraction provides just temporary satisfaction.
But your heart knows the Truth. Your heart knows the Truth.
Awake from the incantation, seek the Incarnation.
The Light shines in the darkness.
Let It shine on you.
Hold lightly to your strength.
And all you think you know.
For the Light shines in the darkness.
And it is in weakness that Grace will grow.
BRIDGE
Caesar has no love for you, you’re a number on a page.
Doctrine is a guide, but its just trappings on the stage.
Life is calling you to wake up (now). Shake off the webs they weave.
Step into Reality, become more than you (can) conceive.
Distraction provides just temporary satisfaction.
But your heart knows the Truth. Your heart knows the Truth.
Awake from the incantation, seek the Incarnation.
The Light shines in the darkness.
Let It shine on you.
Arthur and Oz (Audio)
Standard
“Run away,” they cried. Coconut shells beating out the rhythm.
On a quest, foolish tasks, tests with no purpose
Stupid King with no kingdom, only coconuts
Grail vision at least lead them toward their fear
White bunny, Holy hand grenades, battle won
Movie within a movie
Fear is like that
It is not the enemy, it is a guidepost pointing toward what is illusion
Left home in a storm, betrayed left unprotected, vulnerable
Toto barks at opportunity for change
Advice from Munchkins followed, seeking Wizard, the honest liar
Can’t think, can’t feel, no courage, yet moves toward source of dread
Fix me, broomstick in hand, unaware of victory, angry
Fear is like that
Dream within a dream
Red shoes already on her feet, she just needs to want to go home
The white bunny always points the way out of the show
The way out of Oz is always through the Witch’s castle
