Story behind the song
Wishing everyone a bright, blessed day. Personally, I'm feeling grateful for some rekindled relationships that were on hold because of the pandemic. We lit a fire in the woods for band practice yesterday, and enjoyed making music together for the first time in months. I also had a visit from a brilliant brother who is lighting up the world with his creative spirit.
The creative fire is blazing hot in my life! I imagine this is true for many of us, at this time when life seems to be requiring our full creative potential. To me, these past few months seem like the entrance to the Creative Age, when we survive and thrive by our ability to bring light into the dark, like a flame. We are fiery embers, drifting into the unknown. We are red hot lava, creating new islands. We are stars exploring new space.
Naturally, being on fire is a lot of energy! Am I right? It requires some serious work to process this energy, letting it move through us, through the emotions, the thoughts, and the physical field. To me, this time in world history calls each of us to search inside ourselves for health and well-being in body, heart, mind, soul, and spirit. We are our own best healers. We are our own best teachers.
Beautify
A song for emotional well-being
Lyrics
I bring my concentration to the fire
I bring the anger out and let the embers fly
Creator thank you for this life
Thank you for every blessing you provide
You make me happy healthy wealthy wise
Take me as I am and beautify
I bring my concentration to the stream
I bring the songs I sing and let them wash me clean
Creator thank you for this life...
I bring my concentration to the wind
I ask my grandfather to send his medicine
Creator thank you for this life...
I bring my concentration to the dirt
I ask my grandmother to help me heal this world
Creator thank you for this life...
