Body Prayer 03:00
lyrics

Lightning strikes my windpipes I feel thunder everywhere Senses spinning through the air; pain or death, I don’t care I know I'm in a body prayer Instrumental riff Water feels the same as blood I ride the waves, I sense the love My arms are moving, suck sweet air sun shines down –I am aware eternal care - body prayer! This fragile body will rise again Caterpillar shedding skin growth within, angel wings share love for everything! Instrumental riff I have caressed your curly hair While you lay sleeping with me here, when we touch, I love so much I understand that I belong; my body shares in body prayer. This fragile body will rise again, butterfly, new beginning growth within, angel wings Fall in love with everything! Instrumental riff Lightning strikes my windpipes I feel thunder everywhere Senses spinning through the air; pain or death, I don’t care I know I'm a body prayer Come share my body prayer!

Right Wrong Reggae 02:53
lyrics

You say my thinking may be wrong what if your thinking may not be right? While these opinions are cluttering up my head, the only result is I can't sleep at night! Some people tell me that I am wrong some people tell me that I am right But it doesn't really matter what I'm thinking, It's how I behave that really counts Do I accept those that get in my hair? Do I love ? Do I care? Everything comes down to that: what's in my heart, (not what's under my cap! ) I'd rather be respected than to be right! I'm not going to sacrifice my soul for my tribe Being accepted and being unique are contradictions that I want to protect That's the right wrong reggae! It's the right wrong reggae! [ You say my thinking may be wrong what if my thinking may be right? While these opinions are cluttering up my head, the only result is I can't sleep at night! To be my own person, soul led Intuition's more important than head Yes it's nice to own a house and contemplate a new car, but stuff is just distraction from who you are! Are you peaceful? Do you care? Come with us and explore, if you dare every thing comes down to that what's in my heart not under my cap! I'd rather be respected than to be right! I'm not going to sacrifice my soul for my tribe Being accepted and being unique are contradictions that I have to accept. It's the right wrong reggae! It's not right! So Stop it! (Let's) end nd the right wrong reggae!

My Heart Says Yes 04:39
lyrics

Do I have value, will I be a success? I can’t know for sure, but my heart says “yes’ Can I stop being judgmental, trying to impress? I confess, though I regress, still my heart says “yes” Are all colors and music spun from a smile? Even a rainbow up in the sky? Can I trust in my heart and let go of my stress? my heart says “yes” oh my heart says yes yes yes Will I open myself to your mystery? Can I listen with care to your heart’s story? Do you know how much you are a miracle to me? Can I give back to you more than I receive? Well in my experience, I need to express How I always feel bliss when my heart says “yes” My heart says yes yes yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah Are all colors and music spun from a smile? Even a rainbow up in the sky? Can I trust in my heart and let go of my stress? my heart says “yes” Am I enough now, to live what I know? Can compassion liberate me so I can grow? Return back into who I am? ([no more; no less) Will I live right now in gratefulness? As I do, my heart says “yes”

UILE jig 05:13

As the luck of the Irish would have it, (but I’m Aussie so I wouldn’t know) I traveled to Ireland a few years ago, ended up in Leabgarrow; the first bar that I went to I indulged in a few – (I’d heard the Isle of Arranmore had the very best brew!) Then I had to go to the washroom as I badly needed a pee there I met Irish bar tender - Mario McGee I said his name sounded strange; not what expected to be; Turns out his dad is Irish, mother 's from Italy Now Mario's bar has a sign above it that proclaims: 'U I L E is blessing you, as you go your way Mario wanted to tell me about U I L E He explained its an ancient Celtic word, ('willeh" actually) UILE's inclusive - means everything's ok and it meant that every experience holds, a blessing for my day I thought that was a really nice Irish thing to say Mario said the Irish give blessings in that way yes, UILE is blessing you, as you go your way UILE is blessing you, as you go your way UILE, UILE, UILE, means everything and all I liked the very sound of it, And I photographed the sign on the wall the idea of being a part of UILE and all, just seemed to settle in my soul: Yes I am connected, to UILE’s mystery; being part of everything and everything part of me Recently my wife asked me to go to Nova Scotia to see a Venezuelan bloke, who taught about spirituality To humor her I met him in a new-fangled community And there in the hall, right on the wall, I saw the letters U I L E! It was like UILE was following me in every way! So I asked about what the word ‘UILE’ was doing up on display and he told me it was an acronym U I L E! So I asked about what the letters were meant to be; he said "U for Universal I for Intentional L for Love E for Energy" When I explained about UILE he said 'you're /kidding me? Begorah, how could that be! An Irish word that means everything?” he slapped his knee, Yep his parents came from Ireland - a South A/merican Mcgee! Turns out the FORCE in Star wars, George Lucas’ philosophy , fully is the same thing as U I L E Another part of Einstein's theory of relativity – Universal Intentional Love Energy UILE, Universal Intentional Love Energy , UILE, Universal Intentional Love Energy I immediately Skyped to Ireland to talk to Mario McGee, as I found it hard to believe there could be such synchronicity So I explained to him what happened, and he just laughed at me! He said that was Universal, Intentional Love Energy! "you see, UILE means cosmic energy in everything you see, not only for the Irish, it applies for you and me Ah The mystery of Celtic history is also in U2 (you know - the band; he winked at me!) Uni-ver-sal Intentional Love Energy UILE, Uni-ver-sal Intentional Love Energy Uni-ver-sal Intentional Love Energy UILE is part of everything and is everything to me My heart is con/soled at the presence of U I L E, Everywhere there’s intimate life loving energy Knowing there’s beauty in all energy settles my anxiety Uni-ver-sal Intentional Love Energy UILE is part of everything and is everything to me Uni-ver-sal Intentional Love Energy UILE is part of everything and is everything to me My heart is consoled at the presence of U I L E, this intimate life loving energy Knowing there’s beauty in all energy, settles my anxiety UILE Uni-ver-sal Intentional Love Energy I am part of everything and LOVE is part of me

Lord of all complexity Let me accept everything that differs from me. I commit to look for and believe There is value and beauty in all that I see. Open my heart to allow the mystery of peace to flow through me from your ocean, yes your unlimited waters of grace to embrace reality in all that I face. I will choose forgiveness and kindness to others, as the balm I apply to this day, this will help to heal my own shame so that I may be aware of my judgments and flush them away. Encourage my heart today, so that hope will surge through me, the way the sun's bright light Burns away my depression and doubts of last night. Yes, Work through me to sow seeds of joy in my life INSTRUMENTAL sow seeds of joy in my life sow seeds of joy in my life Forgiveness and kindness to others, will be the balm I apply to this day heal my own shame so that I may be aware of my judgments and flush them away flush them away, flush them away Encourage my heart today, so that hope will surge through me, the way the sun's bright light Burns away my depression and doubts of last night. Yes, Work through me to sow seeds of joy in my life Lord of all complexity Let me accept what differs from me. I commit to look for and believe There is value and beauty in all that I see. Help me reprogram my mind Away from accusations, and comparisons and my stupid reliance on external rewards focus instead today on one act where I will be kind; with deep LISTENING, oooh And empathy and Healing in my mind. Because my intuition knows I should treat others no differently to how I should treat myself, with dignity I know death will return us all, to your infinite unity. Lord give me awareness of my attachment, blame and fear So I can authentically see value and beauty everywhere. I will choose forgiveness and kindness to others, as the balm I apply to this day, this will heal my own shame so that I may be aware of my judgments and flush them away flush them away

Universal Christness 02:37
lyrics
buy track
Universal christness is another name for everything the earth and all its apple trees, the mysterious sea ; and every animal including me We're all connected when we see cosmically I will not defend the Strong or powerful, but I will defend the marginal and poor. Systems that hate and control are evil; Care flows only from the individual. Christness sees past the surface of Christmas to the acceptance of tragic realities. Universal Christness that's what I want for me; It's being in the flow of life with all my soul and body delighting in love's nature inside everything I see; my desire for healing blending with my vulnerability. Christness is inclusive, across all time and space Christness Is a way to live, to live well every day, "I'm so happy you exist" that's its personality. its a spiral evolution towards common empathy.

Like a virus that gets stuck in my head I don't want you hating; so I hate you instead! So how do I stop? It's a curse in my head. Bad Thoughts, Bad thoughts... Let's not become what we don't wanna be You're no different than me You're no different than me Bad thoughts! No-one goes five minutes without thinking bad; It's the biggest reason why this world is so sad. So how do I stop? It's a curse in my head. Bad Thoughts Let's not become what we don't wanna be You're no different than me You're no different than me _________________________________Ambient section I'll replace that negative space With music or silence; concentrate on every breath concentrate on every breath I'll replace opinion with insight, thinking with 'thank you' concentrate on every breath concentrate on every breath Harmonize and go with that flow Just Let Go! Just Let Go! Just Let Go!

The Promise 04:42
lyrics

Outside of time, I saw a change in my star chart. old hopes, new dreams , revitalized my heart. I made a vow, as the dreams said, to find my missing part; when we first talked we found we shared a common mystic path. Expectation, destination, anticipation from the start.. Chorus: Maybe faith is hope for me hope that love will care for me grace and love from outside of me; it's a promise of lots more, more than I can ever percieve; I often make mistakes and I know that I can grow more, so you may sense my uncertainty. more than my reason can ever believe, I still trust the promise to me. Actually things don't go the way some stories say they do; It wasn't simple, it wasn't easy, but over time, we grew. And when we finally got together and I was holding you The promise came through; Did faith make it come true? We didn't know how the future would go. So Faith was no certainty. My faith in you grew as I trusted that you have confidence in me. Chorus: Maybe faith is hope for me hope that love will care for me grace and love from outside of me; it's a promise of lots more, more than I can ever percieve; I often make mistakes and I know that I can grow more, so you may sense my uncertainty. more than my reason can ever believe, I still trust the promise to me. Things don't turn out as you plan. You know the way it goes; The Devil grabs his chances and only heaven knows; the reason's undisclosed. Even so, we row. Instrumental I trust the promise to me; I trust the promise to me I trust, I trust I trust I trust I trust the promise to me.
