Thank you for posting these lovely songs!

LYRICS: 
Pt I: 
My mind is clear
My heart is here
I feel no fear
I am free

Pt II: 
Breathing I am breathing I am, ho ho
Breathing I am breathing I am, ho ho
Breathing I am breathing I am, ho ho
Breathing I am breathing I am free

Pt III:
I see God in your eyes
I see God in your eyes
I see God in your eyes
You are free

I See God In Your Eyes

Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh was asked by one of his pupils: “Sir, what is the most important thing we can do for the healing of our world?" He replied “the most important thing we can do for the healing of our world is to hear, within ourselves, the sounds of the Earth crying."
Joanna Macy and John Seed harp on similar concepts, that "the rainforest is defending itself through humanity", that human activists are the rainforest defending itself. This song was inspired by the work of these philosophers and these important concepts. How do we practice them? 

LYRICS:
Dear sacred Earth
Who knows so much
Speak through me
I’m listening

Dear tender Earth
Who feels so much
Cry through me
I’m grieving

Dear joyous Earth
Who laughs so much
Sing through me
In harmony

Pt I:
	We are the forest defending ourself!
	We are the water protecting ourself!
	We are the flowers enjoying ourselves!
	We are the Earth experiencing!

Pt II:
I’m ready
I’m clear
I’m open to all that I hear

I’m ready
I’m clear
I’m open to all that I fear

You call us 
To act now
With all of your power

You call us 
To act now
With all of our power

We hear you
We feel 
We’re singing to help us to heal

Dear Sacred Earth,

My roommates and I love bread and budder pickles so I made some sounds about it!

PICKLE

correction: the barbie cake was not the same as the trifle cake, I was mixing up my years. the barbie cake was a bundt cake.

LYRICS:
Every time I breathe I remember
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Standing on the shoulders of giants

Every time I succeed I remember
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Standing on the shoulders of giants

You are, you are the best in me
You gave, you gave me everything I know and see

Remember when you put Barbie
On my birthday trifle cake
I never really liked Barbies
But the trifle part was great

It hasn’t always been easy
But you did the best thing you could do
You showed me how to be an artist
And a good person too

Every time I create I remember
Standing on the shoulders of artists
Standing on the shoulders artists

Every time I bleed I remember
Standing on the shoulders of survivors 
Standing on the shoulders of survivors 

Remember when I got headaches
And you’d massage my neck
Or when it got too hot out
And you rubbed ice on me so I could go to bed

It hasn’t always been easy
But you did the best thing you could do
You showed me how to be a healer
And a silly weirdo farty lady too

Flashes of moments when life started making no sense, 
in the white mini van with the dolphin on top

Remember dancing with your sisters 
in the living room on christmas day
You weren’t sure what to make of 
the monster pillow that I made

It hasn’t always been easy
But you did the best thing you could do
You showed me how to be a mother
And a lover too

Breaking, breaking the cycles now
Learning, learning how to lead with love

Every time I love I remember
Standing on the shoulders of lovers
They’ll be standing on our shoulders soon

standing on the shoulders of giants

a madrigal poem turned song

LYRICS:
My eyes are daisies when I hold your hand
No fear in the world can part us
Though time seems never in surplus
You’ve got the feel of a soul companion
Skipping from stars to planets
My eyes are daisies when I hold your hand
No fear in the world can part us
Someone ought to take a stand—
How can love be so precarious? 
To entrust me with a fortress
My eyes are daisies when I hold your hand
No fear in the world can part us
Though time seems never in surplus

my eyes are daisies when i hold your hand

LYRICS:
Every inch of time,
every mile long
every living being has conspired to bring this food in front of me

This can be a zipper song—feel free to substitute any words you like in place of "food", because everything is a miracle that takes everything else existing to exist just as it does!

Every Inch of Time

GOD: hello, you’ve reached the hotline of god. In a word or a phrase, how may I help you? 
ME: i need guidance
GOD: well you’re in luck, got lots to offer. Now tell me, what kind of guidance are you after?
ME: well there’s this creeping, seeping feeling I’ve got that somethings very very wrong about it all
GOD: Sorry, I didn't understand your response. Please try again later.
GOD: hello, you’ve reached the hotline of god. In a word or a phrase, how may I help you? 
ME: quantum physics
GOD: sorry, don’t know that one. That must be science. Conspiracy. 
ME: 
Well Einstein said that God does not play dice with the universe; But if the location of a particle is indeterminable at a given moment and the particle is only there if we observe it then is the whole world just a simulation and we’re just at the mercy of your silly little game of dice??
GOD: hold— one moment please, I’m getting an incoming message from Gabriel
GABRIEL: God, hey God, sorry to interrupt but it was urgent
The humans have gotten too far! They’ve reached the quantum level! That’s as far as we built! They’re gonna find us out! What should we do??
GOD: It’s a shame the first flood didn’t teach them, I guess it’s time for another crucible…
GOD:  so tell me, ignorant mortal, how do you know about quantum physics?
ME: I did what I was not supposed to, I looked beyond your teachings, I questioned things and used science to find out more about the world. 
GOD: ah I see you’ve sinned against me, and now you’re coming back to me
ME: it was the last place I could turn, nothing is real and none of it makes sense. It’s like chaos rules the universe. Can you tell me why we’re here?
GOD: That I can’t do, you see there’s no real answers in the end. 
GOD: Gotta go now, Mother Nature is having hot flashes and I have to help her teach you humans a lesson. 
[EXPLOSION]
GOD: hello you’ve reached the voicemail of God,I’m out of office, please leave your message.
[BEEP]

Hotline of God

LYRICS:
After singing certainty I had a vision of you next to me
My certainty is wild
Five years from now
Waking up to the sun
You hold onto me

We went on a walk in a forest last week
Talked of dreams in a fort last week
And i wanted you next to me
I wanted you to stay next to me
I wanted you next to me

In a house
In the south
All my friends on a farm
Living free, making art
Somewhere warm
With some goats and ducks and you

And we make
Our own food
From the plants 
That we grow
And we teach
What we know
To be true
And unlearn 
All that is not love

We danced together at Monday night square 
You spun me round like a sunday morning prayer
And then I came to know
Your feelings for the other girl
On the dance floor

Now you don’t have to be only mine
I just want you in my life
The vision that I had could become reality
Or it could just as easily 
	Maybe I love you is a river so high
			remain a dream

On Sunday we played music in the park 
Found our savior singing “By the Mark”
The song lifted us up
And flew us on the wind 		
Into fantasy

To the house
In the south
Where nothing is owned
And nobody’s alone
We belong 
To the ground 
And to love

And we make
Our own rules
From the trust that we sow
And the feelings we know
To be true
And unlearn
All that is not love

I See God In Your Eyes
