Unashamed and Unrehearsed

O LIVING FLAME OF LOVE (Oh llama de amor viva)
From the Album "Ars Poética" by Tracy McDonnell (2023)
(Suite San Juan, Movement V)

O living flame of love, 
How tenderly you wound my soul
In her profoundest core!
You are no longer shy.  Do it now, I ask you: 
Break the membrane of our sweet union.

O soothing cautery!
O wound that is a joy!  
O gentle hand!  O delicate touch!
Tasting of eternity, repaying every debt.   
Killing, you turn my death to life.

O lamps of human fire, in deep transparency
The lowest caverns of the senses, once shadowy and blind
Flare in light and warmth 
And wake the lover with amazing joy!

How lovingly and soft you make my heart recall 
Where you alone lie secretly
And with your honeyed breath
Replete with grace and glory
How tenderly you make me love!

O lamps of human fire, in deep transparency 
The lowest caverns of the senses, once shadowy and blind
Flare in light and warmth 
And wake the lover with amazing joy!

Amazing Grace - Tribute to Randy Travis

this is back when I was a student, years ago (40) and I took the train to school in Canada.

THE RAILWAY SONG

I wrote this in January 2005, and have performed it solo many times but it took a while to get it recorded.

Each verse (and the bridge) is a scene from the Ithaca, NY area.

Lyrics:

a flash of gold
a flash of green
a flash of something old you
thought you never should've seen
a flash of alabaster
a flash of white, and after that
a flash of insight into
something gray you'd thought was unclean

rolling down the hillside,
tired and in no gear
the city lights below you,
up ahead a deer just crossed the road
 
you missed the sign,
but it occurs to you that
you are here.
 
you bought your ticket,
you paid the price:
you made your way here
slogging through the snow and ice
the sound and motion
wake you from sleep, mm
but it's the silence
that pulls you in deep.
 
come and dance with me,
i'm sitting very still
come sing your passion to the rooftops
and in the mumbled echo you might hear your name
 
there's only one way
to find out whether
you are here.
 
circling to land
the end of the line
no connecting flights
there's only one way to travel,
and that's forward in time.
 
i had a vision,
it went like this:
a quiet sunbeam
and a forest kiss
it led me forward, but
now it's so far away
and when I glimpse it, it
only leads to yesterday
 
how can i run in darkness, flying into fear?
but if i listen close and stay standing here,
will it come to me?
 
it all comes to this,
and this is you,
and you are here.

Unstoppable

Stay

002 - 不要躲避我的眼睛

Free:Into The Mystic

Group Mudita chants Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu during a satsang at Yoga Vidya in Bad Meinberg, Germany. More mantra kirtan mp3 recordings can be listen at  y-v.de/mantra-kirtan - or as videos at my.yoga-vidya.org/members/Mantras/videos

Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu is a Sanskrit mantra which means:

“May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.”

By chanting this mantra, we move from our personal self and radiate a prayer of love for the world around us. It takes us from the egoic, little self, and its limited world view, and radiates from us global wellbeing. It is a reminder we are a part of the universe and can positively impact all of creation.
