Psalm 23

Progressive Chaos with Milk and Cookies

I have watched the northern lights begin to climb,
A slow electric fire, a ghostly pantomime.
They dance on the ice of a silent fjord,
A spectrum bleeding from a hidden source.
And I thought of the charge in the air when you are near,
A static tension, beautiful and clear…
A gift to match that celestial show…
But I have no heavens to bestow.

(Chorus)
For had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would lay them down where your pathway goes,
A phantom ribbon, a synthesized rose.
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet.
Tread softly, love, tread softly,
For you tread on my dreams.

(Verse 2)
My studio is built of failing amps,
And melodies that fade from memory's maps.
My instruments are breath and a fragile hope,
A worn-out tape on a broken loop.
I have no anthems, no stadium's roar,
Just this quiet hum behind a locked door…
A simple chord progression, raw and true…
That I'm weaving into a sky for you.

(Chorus)
For had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would lay them down where your pathway goes,
A phantom ribbon, a synthesized rose.
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet.
Tread softly, love, tread softly,
For you tread on my dreams.

(Bridge)
And every dream is a shimmering thread,
A synthesizer's voice, in a beatless bed.
One careless word, a change in the key,
And the harmony shatters, the vision flees.
This frequency is all I can ever send,
My vulnerable signal, my truest friend.
So know the ground on which you stand,
Is the mix-tape of my heart, held in your hand.

(Outro - Fading Arpeggio)
I have spread my dreams…
Under your feet…
Tread softly…
(You tread on my dreams…)
…on my dreams…

The Song of the Dreamweaver - Progressive Rock

Touching on the grandeur of Progressive Rock Concept Albums of the 1970s...
Interpreting the musical styles and genres of each Gospel and The Book of Acts.
It's way deeper than you may think.
There are sacred geometric shapes that reflect the movement of genres and time signatures from Matthew's commitment to order through to John's looser flowing style and then on through The Book of Acts initial chaos resolving into the New Order of the Early Church

Synoptica plus John and Acts - The Shape of Things to Come

My son, if you will receive my words,
    and store up my commandments within you,
so as to turn your ear to wisdom,
    and apply your heart to understanding;
yes, if you call out for discernment,
    and lift up your voice for understanding;
if you seek her as silver,
    and search for her as for hidden treasures;
then you will understand the fear of Yahweh,
    and find the knowledge of God.
For Yahweh gives wisdom.
    Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
He lays up sound wisdom for the upright.
    He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
that he may guard the paths of justice,
    and preserve the way of his saints.
Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
    equity and every good path.
For wisdom will enter into your heart.
    Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
Discretion will watch over you.
    Understanding will keep you,
to deliver you from the way of evil,
    from the men who speak perverse things,
who forsake the paths of uprightness,
    to walk in the ways of darkness,
who rejoice to do evil,
    and delight in the perverseness of evil,
who are crooked in their ways,
    and wayward in their paths,
to deliver you from the strange woman,
    even from the foreigner who flatters with her words,
who forsakes the friend of her youth,
    and forgets the covenant of her God;
for her house leads down to death,
    her paths to the departed spirits.
None who go to her return again,
    neither do they attain to the paths of life.
Therefore walk in the way of good men,
    and keep the paths of the righteous.
For the upright will dwell in the land.
    The perfect will remain in it.
But the wicked will be cut off from the land.
    The treacherous will be rooted out of it.

Healing Scriptures - Divine Medicine

The World has changed, and what a wonderful opportunity we have to change with it.  We can have change thrust upon us, causing us to react, or we can experience change and choose to respond in ways that suit us.

I believe it's the ideal time to reflect on whether our current location and vocation suit us.  When we change our environment, we transform our mental state, and thus our experience of life.  Whilst physically relocating may not be an option for you or me, choosing to spend more time in places that lift our spirit is most certainly an option.  And what about vocation.  Whilst I don't use 'revocation' in this recording, the concept is there.  If we can relocate for our wellbeing, why can't we revocate!  We can put first-things-first and find a vocation that will better suit the next chapter of our life.

If you were to retrain for a new vocation, what profession or career would you choose?  Imagine there are no limits, and give the answer that comes from your heart?

Which locations have special meaning and significance for you?
How could you spend more time there?
