Written at the end of the 2013 Thich Nhat Hanh retreat at Deer Park Monastery. A song about true love.

I wanna be there for you
Wipe all your tears, embrace your fears
But I've got my scars, shadows in my heart
I know I've got a long way to go

Want you to be there for me
See all the things that others don't see
You've made your mistakes, but I won't go away
I know you have got a long way to go
Don't fear, you won't be alone

Nights alone, can we be strong?

We can be mountains in the wind
So we can lean and we won't cave in
We've made our mistakes, but we'll try our best today
I know we have got a long way to go
Don't fear, we won't be alone.

VER1
Upon the cloud, upon the stone 
Upon the arriving 
A shimmering pedestal 
The stone of unhiding

They say there’s hope, They say it heals
Am I so deserving?
A beaten path, a history
To walk with those who came before 


CHORUS
Over yonder, 
I can’t see what’s beyond the bend
One step and another
Walk with me til the end               

Distant thunder, 
Face it on. Nowhere else to turn
Love for the journey
A desert in the storm

Ver2
Another cloud, another stone
Another horizon
A line to a crooked tree
The wall of abiding

They say there’s hope, They say it heals
Am I so deserving?
A beaten path, a history
To walk with those came before

Desert In The Storm (Demo)

A cover of a Plum Village Song. Great for walking meditation. =]

Take your time, breathing in breathing out
Look deeply as you say "This is me"
You and your breathe, you and the air
As hummingbird and flower have always been together

Take gentle steps, feel the ground curl your toes
Is there a line between you and this path?
You and your step, you and the earth
As butterfly and blossom have never been apart.

Take Your Time

A song written during the 2012 Holiday Retreat in Deer Park Monastery.
Music by Nhu-Mai Nguyen
Lyrics by Nhu-Mai and children from the Children's Program

The Sun! The Sun, it shines!
On my face and on my eyes
The su-u-u-un shines in my heart (2x)

The River! The River, it flows!
From the mountains to my toes
The ri-i-i-ver flows in my heart (2x)

Chorus:
From the mountains, the flowers,
The children, and the deer
We all love each other
There's a space for everyone in my heart

The Trees! The Trees, they sway!
And give oxygen everyday
The Tree-ee-ees they sway in my heart (2x)

The Birds! The Birds, they fly!
As a school of fish swim by
The Animals are all in my heart (2x)

From the Mountains, the flowers,
The children, and the deer
We all love each other
There's a space for everyone in my heart
There's a space for everyone in my heart
There's a home for everyone in my heart

All In My Heart (The Children's Song!)

Here is the Pure Land

Awakened spirit of the Earth,
I feel you growing me. (2x)
I am home, I am home (2x)

Awakened spirit of the Rain,
I feel you flowing me. (2x)
I am home, I am home (2x)

Awakened spirit of the Wind,
I feel you blow through me. (2x)
I am home, I am home (2x)

Awakened spirit of the Sun
I feel you burn in me (2x)
I am home, I am home (2x)

We are home, We are home (2x)

I Am Home (ft. Sisters and Layfriends of Clarity Hamlet)

Breath by breath, one existential crisis at a time.
