From ONE truth comes many stories. These stories are what lead us ultimately back to the ONE. For me lessons learned through the stories of longing, prayer, community, celebration, death, spirituality, love, mother energy and unity. Each mantra on this CD has held me through my falling and my forgetting, until I remembered again: Every part of this seemingly unrelated journey is consciously moving us towards Wholeness and to the universal mantra WE ARE ONE!
lyrics
Jai! do you remember me?
Throwing pebbles in the water
Blowing bubbles for eternity
Do you remember me?
How we danced into the light of day
Our laughter a contagious flame
I can't believe it's you, you're so beautiful my love
I can't believe it's true, you are beautiful
Have you come from the other side?
Jai! Can I call out to you
If I'm feeling sad and lonely can we meet in a sacred space?
by the waterfalls? Blowing bubbles into rainbows
Timeless love in a soul embrace
I can't believe you're here
And our promise to each other that we'd be with one another some way
My heart is in your hands
How I've thought of you, I've been missing you
Who can I turn to? Jai!
You've come from the other side
You've come from the other side and just to be with me
You've come from the other side
I feel your energy
and you can be with me, You can be with me
