Green Memory 07:40
Ah, come to me in the forest Ah, Come to me in the green Come to me in the desert and the mountains Let me show you things unseen When I created this universe I knew there was a chance that I’d forget That the beauty and perfection of my handicraft That the infinite interplay of light and matter Forming endless images of seeming separation Would produce a glow of ego leading to the dislocation Of the part of me residing in this apparently one reality Would make me start to dream that I myself Am just a minor insignificant fraction Of the wonder of eternity Me existing within it Instead of it existing within me Ah, come to me in the forest Come to me in the green Come to me in the desert and the mountains Let me show you things unseen And sow I sowed my creation with the seeds of memory Seemingly ordinary entities intertwining with so many Weaving warp and weft of life Interminable web of life The infinite beauty of life And these seeds grew from thoughts and ideas Into vines, leaves, flowers, Fruiting bodies and spikey stalks Scattered throughout my consciousness Scattered throughout my illusory world Like password reset questions on the website of my mind Ah, come to me in the forest Come to me in the green Come to me in the desert and the mountains Let me show you things unseen And sure enough, I forgot And lived in a dream Where I am I and you are you And they are them and far away out of reach Out of control… But somewhere in the recesses, the core memory Lingered a vestige of the truth Lying dormant for a million seeming lifetimes Lifetimes of separation But lifetimes of learning Lifetimes of longing Lifetimes of yearning For re-connection Ah, come to me in the forest Come to me in the green Let me show you things you have forgotten Let me show you things unseen Until, seemingly by chance, all across my world Adventurous parts of me felt driven to explore Felt drawn to taste, to combine, to brew, to consume Seemingly insignificant, the lowliest of plants Only to find … The truth once again at last And immediately began the long and joyful process The joining of the dots of reconnection Fitting the disparate puzzle pieces back together Forming truth out of chaos Forming beauty out of pain Forming love out of fear Forming unity out of fragmentation Forming, no re-forming One. Ah, come to me in the forest Come to me in the green Let me show you things you have forgotten Let me show you things unseen

Fireflies 09:25
Fireflies flashing in a flowing flight of freedom We’re standing in the stillness on the bridge of our connection Drifting in the bliss of life without reason Breathing in the beauty of the wonder of perfection We’re basking in the glow of love received Basking in the glow of love that’s been given Drifting in the flow of bliss and peace Floating in the flow of love without condition Energy follows thought Thought follows the breathing rhythm The breath of life follows love Love circles round and returns to the giver Green leaves growing on the edge of our perception Red seeds opening the doorways to perfection Blue and Gold glowing in the field of inner vision White light in black night filling us with wisdom
3.
Permission 05:58
I give myself permission to be happy To be loved To be everything I am To be free … To be me I give my self permission to believe To receive To perceive To be me I give myself permission to shine To be divine To align with all that is and will be To be me I give myself permission to surrender To breathe To go with the flow To be me

Jai Ma, Haoma, Acuminata, Jai Ma I close my eyes and look deep into the darkness And what do I see? I see a myriad of tiny points of light Swirling slowly in colours unimaginable, so beautiful I focus on just one point … that one there … And see that it’s a galaxy light years wide and far away Hundreds of billions of stars, there inside my own consciousness Drawing closer, the galaxy spreads across my vision and I single out just one star … that one there … Just one among so many, yet so special I come closer and notice planets circling this star in exquisite rhythm of ages I feel drawn to one … the third one out from this beautiful blazing sun I see its oceans, its clouds, its continents, its islands I see its mountains, its rivers, its trees, its animals And there, right there, I see me sitting with my eyes closed, Looking into the darkness I open my eyes and look at a drop of water on a rain-wet leaf The sunlight glints and draws my attention closer I look deep into the drop of water And I see a myriad of tiny points of light Hundreds of billions of atoms Each one so perfect, made of so many tiny particles of energy Circling each other in exquisite rhythm of ages I look closer at one atom … that one there … and find that I am I fact looking at a planet orbiting a sun I see its oceans, its clouds, its continents, its islands I see its mountains, its rivers, its trees, its animals And there, right there, I see me sitting … And my eyes are open!

Riding the waves of ecstasy Through lifetimes of transcendence From root to crown and back again Share our souls’ true interdependence Riding the waves of ecstasy In daily love devotion Feeling you lying next to me An explosion of emotion Feel the breath of fire inside As we build towards surrender Fell it climbing higher inside And explode in divine surrender Hey Jagadambe, Jagadambe, Jagadambe Jai Jai Ma! Hey Ma Durga Jagadambe Jai Jai Ma! Hey Ma Kali Jagadambe Jai Jai Ma!

Wouldn’t it be great if we all spoke the truth Right from the start No embroidery, no holding back, just honesty Right from the heart Wouldn’t it be great if we all heard the truth And understood That every syllable that was uttered was intended Only for good And wouldn’t it be great if we all trusted in abundance If we opened to receive and accepted with gladness And wouldn’t it be great if our only lifelong mission Was to love without condition And delight in the Madness of Love Sat Nam

At times when you can’t see the wood for the trees, Just look at the trees And say “How Beautiful!” At times when you can’t see the dog for the fleas, Just look at the fleas And love them too Well don’t sweat the small stuff It’ll be all right And if you wake up shaking In the middle of the night Reach for your beloved And hold him or her tight Even if it’s just you That’s what you’ve got to do Well everyone’s got their problems That’s true But it’s you that’s got the problems, Not the problems that have got you So let them go See them drift off into the beautiful blue sky See them change from dark and lonely grey To the colours of this wonderful day And explode into a million shining fragments And reform into a deep and lasting bliss Because that is what this universe really is.

about

As we come full circle, creating the closure, bringing the head of the snake around to bite its own tail.

As we sit in circles large and small across the globe, focusing our intention on navigating with ease and grace through the changes facing us as a species, a planet, a universe.

As we join hands in circles and dance our way elegantly and blissfully into a new existence based on true partnership, love and abundance.

I share these songs, which have been inspired by and in turn have inspired the change and growth within myself, in the sincere hope that they may inspire change and growth within you.

Gratitude to the late great Terence McKenna for his inspiring words in "Live Love Evolve", and to his brother Dennis who encouraged me to use these samples in this context.

Gratitude to Steve Swayne, who took the cover image during the Fire Event at the Woodford Folk Festival, and granted permission for its use.

Blessings, gratitude and love as always to my partner Laurel.
