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 titled “Unity 2022” in homage to MLK and all those who seek reconciliation with self and with others. It is inspired by the Unity and collaboration illustrated in the artwork produced by the reparational cosmicpaws project and community I am a member of along with the emotions I feel thinking of Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have A Dream" Speech.

In some days it feels like things have not changed from the struggle expressed then and now.  When I feel like this my heart can feel dark and defeated but then I remember we are all so much more than the sum of our current circumstances and I silence my heart and soul and tap into the ether and vibrations like the ones you are listening to are produced.

Before I engaged in this act, these were just random 0's and 1's and now they are soothing, uplifting and engaging your soul.  I got to do that.  I get to do that and so I strive to dream and fight for Unity and Peace.

Nosce Te Ipsum Et Carpe Diem - KNOW THYSELF & SEIZE THE DAY!

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."

This song is created as a reminder that each and every day there is always a reason to celebrate and is created and dedicated to my son, Leila Steinberg, and Mi Ae.

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.

If you listen CAREFULLY you will hear the phrase DON'T STOP BELIEVING repeated over again in the instruments in different places.
