“The Message Of The Moon” is a sing-along song, designed for group singing. The format is a call-and-response, with repeating verses, inviting everyone to sing together in unison. It's one of our family's favorite bedtime songs, especially during the times of the full moon, recognizing the moon's special way of exemplifying the divine mother figure.
I sung this one in the desert one week ago, under the moonlight, connecting. For those who don't already know, I just returned from a retreat to the desert wilderness with 30 brothers. It was a Journey rich with the feeling of harmony and unity with people and with Nature. Returning home, I'm filled with gratitude for these experiences in the desert, and I'm grateful for a gentle return to Steemit.
The Rio Grande thrives in the borderless region shared by Texas and Mexico, with bamboo chutes towering.
Wildflowers and wildlife concentrate in the foothills, with colorful mountains in every direction.
“The Message Of The Moon”
The Story
This song arrived on October 25, 2015, with Seu Luiz Mendes visiting us in Austin, from Brazil. It was another night like tonight, with the moon nearly full, with clouds rolling by. The moon’s glow lit the nearest clouds, and their movement resembled the swaying of a woman’s hair, tossed in the wind. To me, this scene looked like a woman swimming in the sky, with the moon as her face.
The Lyrics
The message of the Moon
Remember your Mother loves you
She pacifies Her children
Steady and calm with Motherly love
The message of the Moon
Remember your Mother shines for you
She holds the light in the dark of night
Staying aglow for everyone
The message of the Moon
Remember you are your Mother’s child
She teaches you to be
A mirror of the Divine Light
The Process
My creative process for this music performance is simply a matter of entering the Flow, and documenting. Entering the Flow state was easy at this time, still primed after a week in the wild. I closed by eyes, played a hypnotic riff on the guitar, and breathed my way Home. For the recording, I setup a camera (Canon 5D Mark III) and audio recording device (Zoom 4), to handle the documentation. My editing environment is Adobe Premiere, which you can see in the screenshot.

This is my entry to Steemit Vision Quest - Week 5: Desert Wilderness. Thanks to
