Written 2011 in Bhagsu Himalayas India where I did a month yoga intensive; particularly inspired by learning Hridaya meditation & the loving, opening of wisdom that this self-inquiry brings.
lyrics
Who am I?
This question is an opening
Who am I?
There is no answer just an opening
Beyond this mind, these thoughts they don't define me
Beyond these feelings, getting swept away emotionally
Beyond this changing physical body
Who am I?
This question is an opening
Who am I?
There is no answer just an opening
To the mystery of my being
I'm opening to the mystery of this earth below me
I'm opening to the mystery of this universe
Who am I?
This question is an opening
Who am I?
There is no answer just an opening
To the mystery
