about

awareness of being tugs at us, and if we allow, can pull us out of pettiness, ego-centric behavior, the dysfunction plaguing the world. The speculation here is that this dysfunction is fear-based. We feel vulnerable which of course "we" are but only in the limited sense of we… these temporary bodies, this particular personality. If we exclusively identify with that limited notion of who we are then naturally competitive preserving & defending becomes central, sharing and empathy become dormant.

lyrics

Before our eyes pass the pretty play of days
before our span and after one spiral circle way
light follows dark follows light follows me
seasons cycle sleep and wake and sleep and waken me

and out of electromagnetic array
I tweak an understanding
and out of understanding I recognize
the fear behind violence

and know reverence

the root the center the base the heart
the source of knowledge the place to start

it's the place we sink or swim
the place we're always in
the stage on which we always shine
the stage on which we know our lines

before our eyes pass the pretty play of days
