FROM THE ARTIST OF 'AS WE ARE'

My original inspiration for my song AS WE ARE came on a Parzival Camp with my Waldorf School Class in 2015. It all began when I was sitting at the edge of a cliff in a valley where the gigantic Hottentot mountains where surrounding me. I felt complete and utter bliss. Peace and contentment flooded over me. While I was sitting at the edge of this cliff, I realized how small I really am. How small we all are. 

Sitting there made me contemplate so many things.... How we push ourselves to being something we are not. How we are never satisfied with who we are; we always want more and are never content with what we have nor appreciate it as much as we should. All of these things came to me and it really made me think deeply about the meaning behind it.

It also resonated deeply with me as I am a perfectionist and can never accept myself for the way that I am. I began to wonder why as I was sitting there - we are all just human, we were not born to be perfect or be someone who got it right all the time. 

I knew that I was scared to show my true self to the world. As I am sure lots of people are, we are scared of: judgement, bullying, disappointment etc. from other people. We base our lives on other people and we act a certain way that fits their standards. I realized how sad it was. 

I sat there in silence for hours and kept writing down the thoughts that were forming in my head hoping to eventually turn it in to a poem for my mother  – little did I know that it would become my first song

As We Are

When a bear goes in to hibernation, they do it for the health of their community and themselves. In the winter, food is scarce, hibernating allows other animals to have access to the limited resources. It slows the spread of disease and viruses among other animals during a season when immune systems are lowered, and energy is limited. 

It is also a time of conserving health for the bear, a time for reflection... it is a time that allows you to renew, to undergo change, to honour your place in life and food cycles. 

It is not a time for anxiety or fear. When it is time for hibernation, a bear can finally relax. All of the stress of finding food, territory, and a mate disappears. The bear believes that they have done enough and trust in themselves. They know this process is necessary and they will come out the other side renewed.

Be the bear. Stay home. Rest. Know you are doing this for something much bigger than yourself.

LOVE KARINA
