Plenty of people and conversations make me feel like I'm the wind Constantly changing, never arriving Finding new places to descend You showed me the better things in life Through you I see beauty, love, and all the things that make me what I am You gave me the sweetest thing Listening to sounds that live in moon rock craters in my skin I say kratom, you say why not Let's discover new again You loved me, when I was just a rock You gave to me beauty, love, and all the things that make me what I am You gave me the sweetest thing

Don't think too much It'll get you down The mind has lots of tricks to play on you Who you think you are Is not who you are You'll never find who you are inside your mind Don't dream too much It'll get you stuck Fantasies are rife with uncertainties Who I know I am Stems from the great "I Am" Therefore my deepest "I" will never die

Comfy Mind 03:33
I can't get you out of my head Who said you've got to Who said you have to I think I like it here I like it here

'America' by Walt Whitman Centre of equal daughters, equal sons, All, all alike endear’d, grown, ungrown, young or old, Strong, ample, fair, enduring, capable, rich, Perennial with the Earth, with Freedom, Law and Love, A grand, sane, towering, seated Mother, Chair’d in the adamant of Time.

Have you seen the little piggies crawling in the dirt? And for all the little piggies life is getting worse Always having dirt to play around in Have you seen the bigger piggies in the starched white sheds? You will find the bigger piggies stirring up the dead Always have clean sheds to play around in In their styes with all their backing They don't care what goes on around In their eyes there's something lacking What they need's a damn good whacking Everywhere there's lots of piggies living piggy lives You can see them out for dinner with their piggy wives Clutching forks and knives to eat the bacon

Look to the inside, not to the outside, to find yourself, cuz you won't find anything there. The truth is inside, no it's not outside. You've gotta find it out all by yourself—yeah! Oh, baby, give me one more chance (Show ya that I luv ya) Won't you please let me Back in your heart Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go (Letcha go baby) Cause now since I see you it is all

Everything is music when our souls collide Nothing matters except the love we have inside Know that I will never, ever, ever let you go Feel peace inside your soul—it is what you sow Goodbye "me" and farewell to the "I" There is only us—we are one in the sky Everything is music, our hearts are in tune Everything is music, love pushes us through The walls, the walls, the walls, the walls, the walls… (Love pushes us through!) The walls, the walls, the walls, the walls, the walls… (Love pushes us through!) Goodbye "me" and farewell to the "I" There is only us—we are one in the sky Everything is music, our hearts are in tune Everything is music, love pushes us through __________________________________________ ‘Where Everything Is Music’ by Rumi Don’t worry about saving these songs! And if one of our instruments breaks, it doesn’t matter. We have fallen into the place where everything is music. The strumming and the flute notes rise into the atmosphere, and even if the whole world’s harp should burn up, there will still be hidden instruments playing. So the candle flickers and goes out. We have a piece of flint, and a spark. This singing art is sea foam. The graceful movements come from a pearl somewhere on the ocean floor. Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting! They derive from a slow and powerful root that we can’t see. Stop the words now. Open the window in the centre of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.
