A cover of the Plum Village song - Happiness is Here and Now. Layered with vocals from me.

Happiness is Here and Now

Vocal improvization - toilet thoughts turned into a song!

All improvised in one take. My life is a musical. Haha.

It's all in the poop

Imagine the gentle rolling waves across a long sandy coastline.
That's what I pictured as I sang this.

Gentle rolling waves (vocal melody)

I'm imagining myself singing to my ancestors from centuries, millennia back, who were at one with the land and sea. This song is is my conversation with them.

Ancient calls from the past (vocal melody)

I'm looking at ancient Chinese ink paintings, and singing as if I was inside the paintings... alive and roaming across the mountains and waters.

Ancient Chinese Ink Paintings (vocal melody)

The child of the sea steps into the boat with the father and me.

Sea child makes three

When the different parts come out to play! 
They step up on stage, roll around and have fun.

Come out and play

Imagine clearing space for a garden. And singing over the earth, in gratitude and as a blessing for whatever may emerge.

Space for seeds

Doing the dishes, and listening to the overarching melody and quiet, dissonant undercurrents.
