Bodhi Tree
Valhjim

It is not to wonder that Gautama 
found Enlightenment under 
the Bodhi Tree—all trees are living,

beautiful Bodhi Trees, living bridges
between heaven and earth, mind 
and spirit, body and soul.

All trees shine with inner light,
there's so much going on inside them
that is not visible to the eye: 

rivers of energy streaming 
through trunk, boughs, leaves,
flowers and fruits, complex 

networks of roots spreading 
underground, talking, connecting,
with other trees, plants, bushes,
and undergrowth;

trees provide shelter
from the heat of the sun,
home for birds and numberless
creatures;

trees bring down rain to fertilize 
the earth, give us delicious, 
nurturing fruit.

All trees are beautiful 
Bodhi Trees, bridges 

between 
worlds.

********
hope you like this poem
and music, friends.

Thanks for listening
and for your kind and thoughtful
words—they bring much joy
and inspiration.

Built To Last

Built To Last (Jul. 2025)

I decided to take another stab at creating a hopefully better sounding version of this song,  as it seems the message is relevant in these troubled times.  

I hope that heaven is a place where everyone can share the same space and  liberals and conservatives can exist in perfect harmony. Cause if you live a good life and you seal the deal and you end up in heaven how are you going to feel, if  when you get there there’s people who want to argue with you about politics
***
Why can’t we all just all get along
Why can’t we live and let be
Why can’t we all just all mind our own business
And agree to disagree
***
Will you let it go or will you keep on fighting even after your first Saint Peter sighting, or will you check the TV to see if there’s CNN or Fox News in Heaven. They had to pry your gun from your cold dead hand but now that you’re a soul in a spiritual land, will you still demand your second amendment rights to protect yourself in heaven.
***
Why can’t we all just all get along
Why can’t we live and let be
Why can’t we all just all mind our own business
And agree to disagree
*****
I hope that in in heaven you can eat real steak with a bunch of vegans eating meat that’s fake, as you pose for a photo with Jesus trying to re-enact that painting of the last supper.
If you bump into that undocumented guy who you sent back to his country will you look him in the eye. Will you tell he’s not welcome in the United States part of heaven?
***
All these people with extreme positions shouting to their hearts content
Like demented performance artists in a circus tent
They can try to push our buttons be we don’t have to let them
They can invite us to their party but we don’t have to show up.
***
Why can’t we all just all get along
Why can’t we live and let be
Why can’t we all just all mind our own business
And agree to disagree

Sakura Emotional  (Remixed by CYFR - 360)

Valhjim is a music composer with an eclectic approach to different genres: rock, pop, folk, New Age, and experimental electronic music. Greatly driven by imagination and poetic imagery, he combines multiple instrumental textures to fire the imagination of his listeners. 

His more experimental ambience and electronic music is built with layers of suggestive sound textures, rhythms, and melodic lines that stir the imagination into suggestive imagery and worlds unseen, true architectures of sound that open up limitless spaces to explore. Often Valhjim's melodies sail through genre thresholds, crossing over from one genre to another, from neo classcal to electronic, or from jazz to rock or new age.
