Last page of this trip journal regarding Ilha das Flores and it is celebrated with an amazing woman that happens to live  in Flores (where she's developing an amazing work with a group of people who are helping to reinvent live in Flores with a new sense of community, sharing trough arts, cultural partnership, sustainability and regenerative relation to nature, and other holistic approaches) and that has welcomed us during stay. Nina (check her amazing music at @nina_musicalmas) shares the words with me in this song about being Islands, and Jörg (that you already know as @joerxworx) helps us our mind meet our bodies in this joyful dance with his flute! 
Really happy with the song, the video and even the lyrics (which are mostly improvised in the moment and sometimes can work as loop game :D )

|| lyrics ||

I feel the Air
I feel the Earth
I feel the Fire
I feel the Water

The wind is strong
And it blows my mind away
The Earth beneath my feet 
Is just like a nourishing mother
And I feel all the fire inside me
Burning every time, but there’s also this
Blissful water where I’m reborn every day

I feel the Air
I feel the Earth
I feel the Fire
I feel the Water

And I feel all the fire inside me
Burning every time, but there’s also this
Blissful water where I’m reborn every day

(Jörg Flute Solo)

There’s nothing like feeling like an island and
feel surrounded by sea everywhere and
every when understand that you are what you are

There’s nothing like looking at other people and see
that they are also islands surrounded by see
everywhere in the Universe Vast Ocean

And if I close my eyes and let the words flow
In my mind there will be this huge waterfall and
all this ocean that surrounds this island

And each drop of that icy water in my skin
will be just like a word or a note of your flute and I am
here, I am now, looking at myself, so high with myself

High with Myslef

 Music is one of multiple ways of living fully, being whole and complete, immersed on the vastness of the world. At each music note we can redeem something more from our essence, spread it, echo it, give, receive and be. Svayam is a moment of meditation guided by sound, and it’s offered as an opportunity to be who we really are, to take from the inside what escapes our instant and automatic sensibility. João Sousa guides this voyage - personal, but collective - with a guitar, voice and bowls.
Each body touched by sound is a moment of unique love,
an inexhaustible source of energy. To create with sound is to open doors to the earth, to touch the water, feel the air and transform with fire… For a moment we understand the act of creation, we are that moment, undulating in the ethereal, taking off from matter. Each time Svayam happens, we connect profoundly with humankind, with life, with the cosmos. Let us be all and nothing, here and now, everyone and none.
