I intend to record with lyrics, which will be way out of my comfort zone.  The song is produced through fusion. sprung to nurture the reclamation of self-esteem tarnished from systemic racism including that of the police and so much more...  Nosce te Ipsum et Carpe Diem (KNOW THYSELF & SEIZE THE DAY).

Listen and feel.  Claim your own transformation and reclamation of your true identity, known only by you and your creator, however you define God.

The image reads "IF NOTHING EVER CHANGED, THERE'D BE NO BUTTERFLIES"

Mohammad Ali said "Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee."  Bruce Lee said that one must “be like water,” in fighting and in life, they must be able to adapt to the shifting and uncertain environments. 

To achieve either, you must have wu wei, a Taoist concept meaning, “non-action”, or more specifically, “action that is spontaneous and effortless, and I assert both apply to you and me.

I assert “In order to control ourselves we must first accept ourselves by going with and not against our true nature.”  Remember that muscle memory is what occurs when we practice the same techniques to the point that it becomes second nature, where you can call upon it without thought. Too much thought hinders style, so in this respect, wu wei is valuable. Flow abounds in the “float like a butterfly” quote.

“Floating” implies a stationary presence.  At the same time it is wise to remember a bee can only sting once, because the very act of doing so causes it to die. Thus, the bee already knows how to sting, but must learn when to sting, lest it wastes its life.  

So floating, bee's, stings, Mohammad Ali and Bruce Lee explains what? “The non-action of the wise man is not inaction,” (Merton). By Ali simply refusing to fight in Vietnam, Ali spoke as loudly as any protest. So can and shall we when we develop our own self-esteem and our heart resonance.  As we develop these through heart resonance we can achieve anything without having to sting.

REMEMBER WHO YOU REALLY ARE DEVOID OF FEAR & BE FREE

Self Esteme 2

This song is dedicated to Wayne Cheong who transitioned 2-22-2022 at 1343.

The title of the song speaks for itself.  The premise is there are times when we must fight. We cannot surrender.

To surrender is to "cease resistance to an enemy or opponent and submit to their authority."  That enemy can be your ego, can be your pride, can be your limiting and false beliefs.  It's (1) a person or thing that is actively opposed or hostile to someone or something; (2) a thing that harms or weakens something else. 

It is what it is, for you, but for me it is anything that lowers my vibration and prevents me from functioning in my highest capacity. I  am Ruler In Peace, and I am here to be the best version of me that I can be.

I would be happy to know my music and my existence helped inspire you to be the best version you can be as well.

Truly wishing Peace, Love, & Tranquility to each of you and those important to you.

No Surrender

I made this song with GarageBand on my iPhone.  

This song was birth out of a depth and magnitude of despair and grief and illustrates to me the redemptive power and resilience of the human spirit even when we are enduring turmoil, loss, and disruptive forces.

Indeed we are always the master even in our most abandoned state and do not have to be misled by the illusion and false belief that we are weak.

Tumultuous winds will blow and it is our duty by virtue of waking up to recognize these gales of as the gusts of winds to teach us to fly even under the most unlikely and unpleasant circumstances for we were born to soar.  

So never give up on that which you are creating.  You will find the key and open the door and if not just kick the damn thing down!

In this song you will hear two distinct phrases playing by the instruments.

"You May Not Now, but I know who I am"

"You may not know who I am, but I was your man."

Through the loss of a loved one we must remember that transition does not equal loss and there is always something in the here and now worth celebrating.

Always A Reason To Celebrate

This song is about rising regardless of your circumstances or perceived challenges.  Let the energy of this song take you, lift you and remind you that you are always the Master regardless of your state.
