Grace 04:34
How can you go and avert your eyes? Confronted by your holy life It's not too often that the lines fade away It's not too often that the grace can stay How can you stand this lonely dance? I find myself in tears again Like I was a puppet on strings for a band But I was the maker and I was the hand I went to sink deep in the night Where time pools out from cracks of light And I arose protected Not broken nor reflected My mind a rose in bloom My spirit filled the room I saw my body in the waters of home From my chest to my belly and down to my toes And I didn't feel one thing wrong with me Such a long time since I let myself feel free I went to sink deep in the night Where time pools out from cracks of light And I arose protected Not broken nor reflected My mind a rose in bloom My spirit filled the room A prayer is knowing that I'm not alone A feeling received deep in my bones When a moving picture speaks my life And words lose meaning but their shape is right My heart wants nothin more than to know That it's all around me and I can go Where the lines fade away so I can see Where the grace can stay and I can be.

Motion/Being 08:36
I listen to the earth beneath my toes I listen to it spin and turn and grow By the water and wind she spoke to me, she spoke to me-- "Our souls come and go, they're birds, they're free" But I'm a forgetful man I thought I left them open but I closed my hands and it's bringing me down, it's bringing me down A fire at night, the sparks like stars. In the moment we feel our beating hearts it's falling away, and I believe this is a prayer watching the flames rise in the air But I'm a fearful soul I stand by the fire even when it's gone cold and it's holding me still, it's holding me still It's bringing me down, it's bringing me down ~~~~~~~~~~~ A mighty storm A might song, a spirit born A gentle touch You made me feel so much The rising moon on the darkest night I listen to your song I listen to the words go on I listen to the parts you're still working on There's more to sing, there's more to sing, there's more to sing. A note rang out A mountain in the clouds A voice rose up in colors and sounds It said "Being is a song" It said "Being is time" "In every stone, in every tree, in every smile you'll find there's more to sing, there's more to sing, there's more to sing." We flew away The endless sky so blue flew away too There's nothing holding There's nothing holding anything There's nowhere that our hearts won't sing There's nothing that the sound wont reach out and touch and hold and ring

I want to move slowly I want to be in my body I want to move slowly I want to breathe deeply I want to feel my body I want to breathe deeply And it makes me sad And it makes feel alright It makes me wonder And it makes me feel peaceful And my heart beats inside Telling me fear no more Fear is what holds us still, remember I want to know completely The shape of myself and the movement of my song I want to be completely I want to feel your body Slow motion melting into mine I want to feel your body And it makes me glad And it makes feel alright It makes me wonder And it makes me feel peaceful And my heart beats inside Telling me fear no more Fear is what holds us still, remember My heart beats inside My heart beats inside My heart beats inside Telling me I'm alive, I'm alive I want to go out dancing I want to live a full life And I want to go out dancing I want to be easy Smell of the air when the rain goes away Sound of the leaves happy to receive the breeze

The fields have all turned into mud The rain and the wind have battered them in And the flowers have wilted and started to fold Your elegant spirit's grown cold But the sunshine still reaches the ground The brambles that grow will soon decompose And it's true, the seeds and the soil will renew Your elegant spirit will bloom

Coco 02:16
When I wake up I go into the kitchen to make a cup of coffee, comfort, caffeine, splash of cream. Mmmmmm. My dog she stays in bed. She's not antsy like me. She's curled in the warmth she's made. A cinnamon roll on those dark and cold winter days. I might read a book or write some lines or strum the guitar two or three times. Then before it gets too late I go back to my room to sit on the floor and try... and try... to meditate And when I do my dog gets up comes over to give me a hug. She nuzzles her head against my chest then she ambles back to her bed.

way out, i've been walking in the fields, walking eyes wide open i've been high, i've been low still don't know where i'm meant to be but out here it's clear to see we've forgotten from our view we close what's open from the sky to the ocean we hold still motion feel i'm on the outside looking in and those leopard's eyes keep staring back at me from deep someplace we used to be at least that's what i want to believe i'm a human after all way out, i've been walking in the fields, walking arms wide open i've been high, i've been low still don't know where i'm meant to be but even if it's lost to me i'll guard it

Rosemary 02:56
Like an autumn breeze through the cottonwood trees you swayed me Now I swing joyfully A quivering of leaves A playful harmony The simple way you hold and share what's beautiful The galaxies of sound The tulips in the ground The moonlight's gravity The smell of rosemary This life asks of us so very much But you and I seem to grow together like squash and beans A steady cast of shade from the love you and I have made The gentle space you bring The tender way you sing The galaxies of sound The tulips in the ground The moonlight's gravity The smell of rosemary And I woke up today and I was holding everything I had you on my mind

Sweet as a grape from the vine An old friend of mine I'm seeing Sweet as love can be sweet Sweet as the sounds of the sea I walked up into something good I walked up into something good Down old roads, down new roads too I move slowly to slow down my time Everywhere I go I find My life where I didn't know I would And I walk up into something good I walk up into something good You might hate me for saying I feel this way You might hate me anyway It's too late to know where I'm going It's too early to know where I been I lost my way and I'm lost where I am But if I go where I can then I should And I'll walk up into something good I'll walk up into something good You might hate me for saying I feel this way You might hate me anyway You might hate me for saying I feel this way You might hate me anyway

I was a golden horse running of course in a dance or a dream I been the setting sun but not this one I set just once A wave on the ocean's play I waved for a day then I stretched on the shore I was the love of a queen caught in between her secrets and dreams And I was assured this time I'd be heard by the gods in the skies, the moons in the night I was told this time I'd grow old a mountain of stone with rocks for my bones and I knew why I'd cry and cry from springs in my side 'til the rivers ran dry and I was turned into sand and that was the end

There was a time when I didn't know anything I'd walk this world without a song to sing There was a time when I didn't know anything at all There was a girl she showed me the world She said look at that stream how it dances blue and green and the pebbles underneath the water all catch the golden light There was a time when I couldn't hear a sound I'd walk this world with my ears to the ground There was a man he told me to listen He said tell me what you hear way out there on the air and I heard birds and I heard planes and I heard the sound of people laughing There was a time when I couldn't speak a word I'd walk this world and I'd go unheard There was a time when I couldn't speak a word at all There was a friend she told me to sit down She said tell me your story, your love and your fears and I said well, it can be a little hard sometimes, I don't know why And she said how does it feel having one foot on the shore? How does it feel knowing there's always something more? What's out there night, what's always burning bright What's with your when your gone and what's always moving on Where lovers always go and time is always slow What's with you when you're alone and what's running through your bones and you've gotta learn it while you go and you still might not ever know How does it feel? How does it feel? How does it feel? And I woke up and I turned my head to the sky and I saw he birds and I heard them flying by and I started to dance and I started to sing a little song and it went something like this I know this world, I know I know I know this world, I know I know I know this world, I know I know I know I know this world, I know I know I know this world, I know I know I know this world, and I know I know I know I know this heart, I know I know I know this heart, and I know I know I know this heart, I know I know I know I see this world, I see I see I hear this world, I hear I hear I sing this world, I sing I sing I sing I know this heart, I know I know I sing this heart, I sing I sing I dance this heart, I dance I dance I dance I know this world, I know I know I know this world, I know I know I know this world, and I know I know I know
