about

After living in a house with 15 different people each month for nearly a year, I moved into my first own place ever. It was a log cabin in New Mexico surrounded by a stream, trees, chickens, dogs, an organic garden, lovely neighbors, and a beautiful view of the mountains. I was amply accommodated by a wood stove, a propane stove, an extension cord from the landlady's house, and an outhouse. Being in that space alone, I found the time to meditate on my surroundings and shed external thoughts. This song is a practice in awareness.

lyrics

This fire needs some air to breathe
This fire needs some air to breathe
So give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me

You think this pot can’t take the heat
But all this water’s makin’ steam
Makes it easier to breathe
Easier on guitar strings

I’m feeling so incensed tonight
Healing by Tibetan light
The smoke floats by my eyes
The smoke floats by my eyes

Outside the stars shine
Through space,
And time, and
Darkened night

Anarchy Hailie had a dream
She saw me train hopping
I just thought it was so funny
The thought of me being
Free

Sitting in the sun
I realize there’s only one
That makes this life on Earth
That makes this life on Earth

With unknown ego
She helps all things grow

Listening to the rain
I realize it makes me sane
To know we’ll never thirst
For what we’re truly worth

If this cup held no tea
Would it still be?
If no one held me
Would I still be?

If matter is only energy
We’re the same as things we can’t see
According to this philosophy
I can believe
We are free

If you can’t let go
Be careful
That your ego don’t
Take a hold

And just know
That change will
Always
Come and go

And with love
We’ll evolve
Ain’t no problems
We can’t solve
All the tensions will dissolve

All with love
