El Gran Altar

Hoo-oo-oo
She lives in the arroyo bed
Dry in the summer heat
She swims through your dreams at night
When you’re sleeping
She calls your name
You swear the wind
Whispered something 
This time you’ll follow the wind

Her hair is the darkest red
Color of your birth
And if nobody welcomed you
To this Earth
She’s there in the heartbeat drum
Underneath your feet
This time you’ll follow the wind

Through the sun bleached day
And star filled night
Where the river carved the land with life
Over valleys and the mountain line
Ride on the desert wind

Hoo-oo-oo
Hoo-oo-oo

The sea of sand it reaches through
The dark around you 
El Gran Altar
You hear a desert prayer surround you
In this vast night her beauty is
The only guide
This time you’ll follow the wind

Through the sun bleached day
And star filled night
Where the river carved the land with life
Over valleys and the mountain line
Ride on the desert wind

Ah-ha
All the ways we’ve tried to control her
Dissolve into her vast sea
Ride on the desert wind
Ride on the desert wind (hoo-oo-oo)
Ride on the desert wind (hoo-oo-oo)

Through the sun bleached day
And star filled night
Where the river carved the land with life
Over valleys and the mountain line
Ride on the desert wind
Hoo-oo-oo

Monthly Contemplations ~ 25 March 2025

This song was inspired by a 300-year-old oak tree growing in the Polesia region, in the Lelchytsy district. Every visit to this place felt as if it held a special power. The path leading to the tree is surrounded by an oak grove, forming a natural corridor. The tree itself is covered in numerous carved symbols, but we was never able to decipher their meaning or find any information about them.

It is known that the residents of the nearby village of Danilevichi still follow pagan rituals. The village is also home to the "Stone Girl"—a carved stone figure dressed in what resembles women's clothing. There is no publicly available information about the exact nature of this figure or the role the ancient oak plays in local rituals, which only adds to the mystery surrounding this place.

Remember taking math tests in school? Remember how you had to show your work? Remember how you hated that? Wasn’t enough to get the answer, you had to show how you got to the answer. Yes, a right answer, or at least a functional one, is important. But showing your work signaled that you grasped underlying principles that would give you repeatable results, a platform on which to build. 

Mathematics understands that the how is at least as important as the what. That any answer is only valid within the context of the process of the solution. How we do what we do defines us and our work. 

In scripture, this process is symbolized by the number forty—a time of trial and testing leading to spiritual rebirth, the necessary work of transformation that just takes time. After Jesus’ baptism, he sees the spirit of God and hears God’s voice. A divine download if there ever was one. Yet he is immediately impelled into the wilderness for forty days to face his wild beasts. After the Damascus road vision, Paul spends fourteen years in Arabia for his forty. Elijah after Mount Carmel, the Israelites after the Red Sea crossing, Jacob after the dream of his ladder, the disciples after the resurrection…all faced fortyness after their downloads. But why? Shouldn’t a direct download from God be enough?

We can be converted in an instant. Accept a premise, have an emotional response to a mystical encounter, a view of heaven—life seen through God’s eyes—a breaking through the mind’s illusion of separateness to the realization that everything is one thing, that we are never separated or alone. Problem is, we’re still living here on earth. Gravity still rules, and that gravity-defying vision creates a nagging paradox we compulsively want to resolve. But life doesn’t resolve, and learning to fit God-reality into the too-small details of human life takes time. Forty.

However intense, any download is only momentary. Will not last unless we wrestle with the paradox long enough to assimilate, push into muscle memory a single view of two ever-oscillating realities: heaven and earth. There is no other way. 

We have to show our work.

Showing Our Work

This episode delves into the limitations of language when exploring intangible concepts like spirituality. We challenge the common Western assumption that spirituality is merely mysticism or Eastern philosophy, highlighting its direct, experiential nature. We discuss why a 'universal basic explanation' is elusive, drawing parallels to describing color to the blind or music to the deaf. We explore the core of spirituality, not as a concept to be dissected, but as a state to be lived. Just as swimming cannot be learned from a lecture, spirituality requires immersion and personal experience. We examine how self-realized truths, born from lived experience, transcend intellectual understanding. We discuss why holy texts require spiritual interpretation, and why seeking 'light' is a personal journey. We underscore the importance of turning inward, of experiencing the 'light' for oneself, and how this direct encounter unveils the true nature of spirituality, a language spoken by the heart, not the tongue.

Ep 11 - The Spiritual Path To Truth

Gather the splinters of will.
Restore the yes that was.
Kindle the fire in its ash-shaped form.
For I am cleaved—
And the cleaving is deep—
But even my turning away
Turns within You.

Even My Turning Away Turns Within You

The air changed.
It was not silence—
But the sound that silence rides in on,
Full of bees and burning snow.

And then—
Not a figure, but a weight,
Descending behind my sternum,
As if the Name itself had bent toward me
And would not unbend.
