about

Originally written 2003 in Vancouver Canada inspired by meditation & the deep wisdom that comes from regular spiritual practice. Then rewritten 2012 after 4 months intensive yoga, meditation & retreats in Koh Pengang Thailand; subtle changes were added, as my understanding deepens over the years.

lyrics

All this writing
Sleep lifts its hand and brushes my eyes
But thoughts of mountains, of friends
Keeps me from sleeping
All these feelings moving here
They make me linger here

I am ready to sit in stillness watching
All the changes that roll through me
I focus aware of my breathing
These simple things unlock the peace within
And I begin to see with such clarity

All the answers are here within me
I just need to be present in this space
All the answers are here within me
I just need to be present in this space
Present in this time
In this place
