"Be kind to yourself. Relax! All is well. Take it easy. 
It is automatically contagious to everyone around you.
Let go of your grip and see with clarity itself.
The one you thought you have to defend with your life, to whatever cost,
is anyway one and the same as everyone and everything - 
Perfect without your protection!"

Var snäll mot dig själv

"Liten" (Little One) - Another recording from 160403. This one is about kids: starting very small and totally present, growing up and adapting and finally How I wish we treated kids (and each other) more.

Liten

The lyrics to this song is a quote I saw by Konfucius: 
"If you know what is enough, then you'll have enough,
but if you wait until you have enough, you'll never have enough."
I liked it a lot and found a melody for it, but kept thinking the tune should have another part, be longer somehow... 
Until I realized it was enough as it was.😊 
We recorded it April 3, 2016: Roy Okutani trumpet, Åsa Okutani piano and voice. Enjoy!
