Unity in the many
Love without discrimination
Trust in One Self
Intimately known
Making all ways, always
Animating Force
Torch of Infinite Light
Eternal You!
Master of invention, mysticism revealed
Optimistic alchemist, otherworldly being
Telling stories, teaching life
Healing everything from scratches, to teddy bears, to hearts
Essence of Love, expanding Awareness
Restoring herself to renew others.
1. Calm is the sea.
Bright is the causeway.
Narrow it stretches
Over the view.
Open my eyes.
Clearly I see it,
Path of my purpose.
I’m walking through.
2. Tide rising high
Darkens the causeway.
Narrow it hovers
Over my fear.
Fog from the deep
Clouding my vision,
Making the bridge
From me disappear.
3. Here is the way,
Shining in sunlight.
I travel onward,
Guided and sure.
I realize
Only perception
Strays from the channel
That’s mine evermore.
Accompanied by Sunny, my lyre, this song is in the Dorian mode, which is grounding, and common in shanty songs. It’s about 7 minutes long, with musical interludes for meditation. I do hope you enjoy!
This is the first song I’ve written in 18 months! I’ve written a few instrumental pieces, meditations, and many poems; but I’ve missed the songwriting–lyrics, melody, accompaniment, singing… And even trying to remember the lyrics to make just one good recording all the way through! Thank you, Sue! 🙂
Oh God, thank you for being my life! Thank you for being the power that created me in your image. Thank you for being the source that sustains me every moment. Thank you for being love.
You are the universe, the infinite, eternal substance. You are all there is! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are mine, and I am yours. Even when I feel separation, I am always with you, because you are with me and within me. You are here, even when I don’t feel you. You are here, even when negativity surrounds me. You are here, even when my mind is full of trouble.
With one single breath, by your power I can move away from negativity, closer to the truth, to your everlasting, ever present truth. Your truth is my essence and resides within me each moment. No matter what I encounter from the world or from the illusions of my mind, your truth, your love, is still my source, my nature, my being. If I have not love, I am nothing.
I am something, I am someone, I am special, because I am your creation. I was not created and left. I am created and kept by you, through you, and in you. Therefore, I always have love, indeed I am love.
I affirm that by giving up the personal ego daily, or as often as needed, I am aware of this truth, your truth, my truth, the truth of love.
By your power that is mine, I am a manifestation of love, I am the Word made flesh. I demonstrate love through my actions, words, thoughts about others, and above all, my thoughts about myself. I speak kindly to myself. Silently and aloud, I affirm love, because love is who and what I really am. Nothing can separate me from love. This is my substance. This is my awareness. This is my truth. This is how I live.
In love I give thanks! I let it be so with every breath I take!
And so it is! Amen.
I Am Love
