Green moss on heavenly steps of temples left impressions pressed above ya 

So our incarnation taking escalators down to live the test of dharma

Thich Nat Han in a gust of wind that becomes cloud and rains down water upon ya 

Impressions of you that pass through the skies of my own thoughts 

Of a future far from present 
But my essence remains a mountain peak 
Cuz through this holy longing 

I am learning 
It is wholeness that I seek 

I am learning 
I am learning 

To be wise 
To be strong 

My spirit travels astrally a blink the bardo found in dark 
So fear and death become a passing fad in trend of mindful mark 

You are a passing cloud that when I witness my heart stops yoni quench 

The idea of your memory even saffron robes can’t seem to quench

A future 
Far from present but my essence remains a mountain peak 
Cuz through this holy longing I am learning 

I am learning 
I am wise 
To be strong 
To be centered 
To be whole
I am whole 
I am learning 
I am whole
I remember 
I am remembering

lyrics
Every breath of life a blessing
not given im realizing
life wasn’t meant to be wasted
on aspiration and buying
or vying to prove playin small
with what we are applying
we’re a part of nature
a part of the whole

but no you’re not more important
than a blade of grass next to a river
in fact that blade of grass
holds more gnosis than you will ever
so why hold on
to this idea that you’ll live here forever.
are you in denial? are you simply tryin to be clever

there is no try only be
i n i can see
that in doing is the key
to my being
my passion and purpose
a flame i am seeing
gently glowing with a green orb
deep in my chest
and now its grown

i confess
it’s the blessed
when i rest in it’s messages
i decompress from the pain of trying to control
a river i am visiting
simply for a moment
til i’m done seein’ and listening
shed this earthly skin
to reveal that all along ive belong
an infinite beingl tied to matter
deep in a song
i’m one with everything
with the grass and the river
all the angels of the sun
and the water as it quivers

i deliver
cymatic resonant fields
through palms of liquid light
on a misty winter night
on this misty winter night
on a misty winter night
through psalms of liquid light

i deliver
cymatic resonant fields
through poems of liquid light
on a misty winter night
on this misty winter night
on a misty winter night
through psalms of liquid light

as blue heron takes flight

my passion and my purpose
it burns inside the lantern
holy tears of grief barely
felt inside a cistern
it’s a slow burn since the
temples first built on the mountain
still carrying a torch up to the holy fountain..
to watch the flame illuminate the night
on a misty winter night

on a misty winter’s night
watch as blue herons take flight
cymatic resonant fields of liquid light


the heron lands
gracefully it touches the sand
its innerstands
it’s visit is just temporary
patiently
waiting for the moment to go for it’s dreams
it utilizes it’s widest holy wingspan

and takes flight

on a winter’s night
this misty winter night

watch as blue herons take flight
watch as blue herons take flight


through psalms of liquid light
pours into resonant fields
in this heart that we feel
it resides
so warm inside

blue heron


i deliver
cymatic resonant fields
through palms of liquid light
on a misty winter night
on this misty winter night
on a misty winter night
through psalms of liquid light

Affirmations On The Beach

Dedicated to all those going through domestic violence. 

In the process of writing this song, I explored the emotions that came up in a past violent relationship. 

There must have been 5 or 6 edits. Each time I changed the song, I indentified what was important for me to express, name and be witnessed for. 

My friends listened. They gave crucial feedback. (Thanks Mo) 

I'm putting this out there to tell my story for the record. 
Yeah it's entertaining but it's more than that. 

I need a witness.
And withness.

I left out the gruesome details. 
What remains is the essence which is the lesson. 

When you see red flags in a relationship, and you feel intuitively like you are not being respected and cherished as the unique and precious being you are, it's okay to walk away. 

And if you don't walk away after abuse and carry shame about that fact, let it go. It's part of the cycle and is totally normal to have attachment trauma. 

It takes years to rewire a brain back into sovereignty after emotional abuse. It takes work and it's not always easy. 

But I believe in you. We can forge new paths. 
The physical nervous system literally changes and it can also change again and again. 

So yeah, if you're reading this and you've gone through domestic violence or you're in a relationship that's unsafe, you have an opportunity here.

You can learn the hard way, or you can choose to put your hand in front of your body, claim your space and take the steps to walk away. 

You can make a plan.
If you need help, I got you. 
Just send a DM here on Soundcloud.

Love,
EmRa
