As above so below.....floating on the River at night in a canoe has taught me many things....in my picture the trees almost appear like there's nothing behind them....just an illusion...there's something so two dimensional ....the River could be antime and any River...flowing on ...to the sea....and of course the reflection of itself

Run a silent path to nowhere, everything is all
You could have a pleasant life if Summer had no Fall
Treat yourself so gently though the task is often hard
Man is not a God it seems, who holds the final card
Close your eyes and feel the darkness, speak and hear the sound,
We only catch a glimpse of all the life that is around,
The man is not alive who knows the value of his soul,
And when our lives are pulled away, there's more to fill the hole

I wonder what you'd think if all the changes didn't come,
For growing old is only going back to where you're from

Far beyond our senseless thoughts there lies a core of gold
Where essence of the newborn child is waiting in the old,
The Master Plan is well conceived, it's there for all to see
And each day that is spent in thought is living harmony
Reach into the depths of being, pass beyond the years,
Time is lost in stillness, where there are no hopes and fears,
Linger in the void, and like a beacon in the night
Purity will fill your soul with ever-present light

Everything you've seen is waiting patiently within
For growing old is only going back to where you've been

 

Starglow Energy

(Dorman)

Can we live on

In this perpetual dusk day

That changes, kind of slows

Into mother night, oh yeah 

When your thoughts unreel

From sights and sounds

And recess into the dungeon of a memory...see

Know what your love means

Know your touch

Leads to distraction

Need you much

More than the ocean needs the cosmic love

Of Starglow energy

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh, oh

Love you so, I do

 

Dreaming's there to sing it so you know

On those bright-lit sunny afternoons

All the thoughts and words you have made mellow

Be mellow, if your little mind has room to think about it

What do you have in your fantasies?

Spiral purple jasmine trees

Now take something more from me

A taste of starglow energy

Live a life of peace and love, forever more

You're startin' to take me higher

What are you having for fantasies?

Spiral purple jasmine trees

Now take something more from me

A taste of starglow energy

Oh, oh

Now you listen to me

You got to start off slowly

Come on, just let it take

Oh, just let it take you away

Oh, now, don't you be fooled by what you have

It's not certain

Oh, that your small little plan

Is Exactly what you need

Now listen...

Take this worthwhile tip from me

Take a little taste of energy

Spend a life of peace and love evermore

What're you doing?

Don't you turn your back on me

                                                         Oh, don't you close the door

 

LEAF AND STREAM

Find myself beside a stream of empty thought,
Like a leaf that's fallen to the ground,
And carried by the flow of water to my dreams
and woken only by your Self.


Alone I've walked this path for many years,
Listened to the wind that calls my name.
The weeping trees of yesterday they look so sad,
Await your breath of spring again.

Far beyond the hills,
Where earth and sky will meet again,
Are shadows like an opening hand.
which hold the secrets
That I've yet to find, and wonder at
The light in which they stand.
