We, at the most subatomic level, are built from the stuff of stars; the debris of billion-year old supernovas. We are connected with everything on this planet at this core level. This is what allows energy to flow thought water, soil, people, and everything else that makes up the earth.
lyrics
Breath in peace
Let your mind release
Opinions to which it tightly clings
Shed those strings, spread your wings
Compassion that you store within
Is seeking chances to begin
reaching out into your life
expelling suffering and strife
but something keeps holding it back
the repetition of your act
continue and you’ll overflow
you conquer it by letting go
allowing it to...
Flow, into water, streams and rivers, ebbing with the tide
Flow, into terra, leaves and flowers, blooming mountainside
Flow, into people, the scattered masses, wherever hearts divide
Flow, and let peace inside
(Because the cosmos is also within us. We are made of star stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself. )
Universal life force, chi
Prana, charka, or chemistry
Quantum mechanics says we’re only frequency
shape your energy into reality
Compassion that I store within
Is seeking chances to begin
Reaching out into the world
Healing every boy and girl
But something keeps it stuck in place
trepidation of disgrace
My doubts persist but even so
it starts by simply letting go
allowing it to...
Flow, into water, streams and rivers, ebbing with the tide
Flow, into terra, leaves and flowers, blooming mountainside
Flow, into people, the scattered masses, wherever hearts divide
Flow, and let peace inside
(As Carl Sagan has said we are star stuff, but there's a more poetic and I think more accurate way to say it. It's quite literally true that we are star dust; in the highest exalted way one can use that phrase)
If we’re only bits of carbon
Infinitesimally small
If now is all we’ll ever have
Why don’t we love it all, love it all?
(And as far as I can tell, if you let them know that its not just that we're in the universe, but in fact, given the chemistry of it all, and the nuclear physics of it all, not only are we in the universe, the universe is in us.)

I gotta give love to my string-playing brethren, especially Savoir Faire. Hypnotic electro-acoustic grooves set the stage for a fresh take on improvising violin. byerself
