I find myself falling for your charms again

Your a pocketfull of indifference and distance

Now I find what once was so painfull

Has become just a suttle slight sting

Im right here and you keep comin around

You know I still cant turn you down

Light a fire when you shine my way

What I felt that first moment I still feel today

-

(Chorus;)

You know my true wish

My desire in the end

Is to be a flower of love

In your secret garden

In your pure sunlight I grow

You water my thirsty soul

My love, sweet Gardener

Make me bloom and unfold

-

Wilted and overgrown when you came

The weeds you removed and the pests you tamed

Harvest the seeds you have sown, hunger not

Before my ripe ready fruit goes to rot

Dear farmer I am not the forbidden tree

Lay down your hoe and take the first taste of me

From your emerald thumb sprouts the holy eden

That which was forsaken can now be again

-

(Chorus;)

The truth lies in the forest

In the fields of green

Yield true love in the nursery

Harvest treasures unseen

In your pure sunlight I grow

You water my thirsty soul

My love, sweet Gardener

make me bloom and unfold............



Still writing the music for this one and workin the kinks out.

This ones for my Gardener, thank you for tending to me.

Stop and smell me fom time to time :)

A healthy community is central to joy. Community is a place to call home, a safe havenwhere people reach out thier arms, draw you in, comfort you, cheer for your awakening power, and cherish you just the way you are--fears, tears, humor, and all. Community is a group of people commited tio individuals and to the whole, a place where your voice is heard and valued, a place where you can drop the mask.

People have a natural need to attatch and bond with others. Without a healthy community to embrace us, we fill in the empty places with dependent relationships, hoping they will provide the security we long for. But no one person can be an island of safety for of us, and there is no all-wise person who can give us the answers. When we lack community, our longing for connection gets turned into a longing for chocolate, sugar, sex, caffiene, drugs, work-- something to fill up a nameless restlessness that churns away inside. But a cookie can never replace a hug. We need to realize that we area tribal people, meant to live togeather, learning from eachother, savoring the journey.

Our concept of community expands as we grow. When we are very young, it includesour family and then it includes our neighbors, our religious institutions, our schools, our workplace, and the town we live in. For many, it stops there. But on the path toword joy there is a constant expansion of community untill it includes all people on the planet as well as the planet itself. We internalize the awareness that that we come from one and the same Creator--we live on one earth, in one ecosystem, with one people, who are on one journey.

Schiller in his "Ode to Joy," wrote, "Millions in our arms we gather, to the world our kiss be sent." Imagine a love inside of you so expansive that you feel an invincible cord of light connecting you to all people. Imagine diverse groups of people all over the world gathering in small groups to take turns telling the story of their lives to each other. Imagine knowing that you are not alone with your hopes, dreams, fears, and joys. So reach out, listen, learn, be gentle with yourself. Remember that ultimately your personal joy is tied to the joy of all people and all life on the earth

Peace and joy in abundance to you and your loved ones...and to all people.



From Finding Joy; 101 Ways to Free Your Spirit and Dance with Life

By Charlotte Davis Kasl, PH.D.

I am wondering because I am planning the first meeting of the seed, a annual gathering based on tightening the weave on the web of consciousness and sharing knowledge and wisdom. The potential direction of the discussions are limitless, I have ideas myself but I want to know what to focus on first. What do you want to know? what to cultivate? Your feedback is an important nutrient.

topics I was thinking of; shamanism, synergy, ritual, trance states, musical production as a co-creative process, herbalism, poetry/spoken word as self expression, forms of art and processes/skills used, earth healing/regeneration, healing through touch/movement/soun.., sacred geometry, alchemy, ascension, communication, mythology, natural medicine, religion/spirituality to name a few

Here are parts of responses I've gotten so far;

"i have experience in hte following and would like to connect with others to learn more and share what i have found:
Taichichuan,Shamanic Journeying,Astanga & Taoist Yoga,Ceremonial "Magick, Trance as Ritual,4th Way teachings,Vipassana & Zazen meditation,Holistic massage,Herbalism and Qigong
= I would love to learn more about: Earth Healing,Communication with animals, Natural medicine and Psychedelic studies."

" I would like to access the hidden information which lies dormant in my cellular makeup"

"I think an open discussion about creating a collective conscious similar to the tribal nations of the past through dance, music, and the occasional ingestion of mind altering substances by a mass quantity of people creating a trance like state akin to shaminism"

"empowerment through eliminating dogma in food"

"self love and forgiveness, hope for the future, community and a sense of place."

"raising of human consciousness in order to fully experience & participate in the cosmic dance...& also our responsibilities once these states are attained"

"more parties these days incorporate more mixed media....whether that be DJ's, MC's, live electronic music, dancers, fire dance, live art/ art exhibits, chiefs, live screen painting, video...etc...
Some of my favorite parties have been ones that I can shift my attention to other art forms that are happening."

I want to have a weekly gathering/meal at my house in Berkeley with people who are interested in tightening the weave on the web of consciousness and brewing inspiration and creativity, creating a community dedicated to our awakening through means of art, music, movement and communication. We are one another's teachers and students. Gathering and sharing our ideas and energies is a key step in direction of evolution. This is meant to be a temple space dedicated to expression, inspiration and the cultivation of love and transcendence.

This is a seed.

pound me a rhythm
hum me a thunderstorm
just crash into me
relentlessly
pull me down and out
toss me all around
let me climb apon your lip
as its curling fast and long
you carry me someplace far away
like a dream or a song
and I can never remember how to get there when your gone
you know I watch you from a distance
fantasize to feel you again
even got a tattoo for you
shine on me and I'll ride you proper
spread em and I'll dive right in
