about

I love this track, its a bit of a departure stylistically, horn section, jazzy, but it makes me feel like a grown up. Lyrically consistent, advocating the secret power in the stilling of the flickering mind. Meditation has been such a gift to me, moving me from a life of low level addictive and obsessive behaviors to one of consistent wonder and awareness of the phenomena of life itself moment to moment. Really I'm not exaggerating. Moving from a materialistic mind set, and re discovering the spiritual blueprint that exists in all of us behind the veils and facades we have built around us to survive in this society. This is the first of two songs on this record that shares a co writing lyrical credit with Michael Bernard Beckwith. A great teacher of mine. Please enjoy. 

Do you meditate? if so how where, what does your practice look like?

Can you share your experiences on the benefits of meditation, short and long term. 

How would the world be different if we taught our children the benefits of a meditative mind early on? 

lyrics

Come to the garden 

Be aware 
our greatest ally 
to the journey of the self 
keeps us awake 
and present to the Now 
and then you hear 
the wisdom of the heart. 

Who are you ? 
are you authentic? 
can you touch ecstatic love? 
well come to the garden 
and free yourself now 
in dharma's wheel, 
divine Ideas 
emerge through the Oneness 
still this flickering mind 
yes be in the stillness 


and come to the garden 
drop the veils feel insight 
this body temple 
is a filament for divine light 
I want the sweet water of appreciation to bathe everything that I do 
infinite love I want you 

At your core 
beyond the limited thought forms you have bought 
there is a spiritual blueprint hanging out 
so be aware 
and dare to come out today 
from material mode 
then the birds will carry food to your doorstep 

Come to the garden 
yeah I'll get you back by Sunday night 
our body temples are filaments for divine light 
I want the sweetwater of appreciation to bathe everything that we do 
infinite love I want you 
Come to the garden with me
