Sounds Like:
Beautiful Expressions Of The Human Condition,
Open Our Channels To Spirit,
That We May Share A Pure Vision,
Psychedelic Pop, Folky Hiphop, Jazz Fuszion Rock,
Reggae Calypso Crazy Ska Bop,
Funky Bluesy Astral Jamz, R&B and Life Poetry Slams,
Break Down Into The Drum Tribal Thing,
Build It Back Up And Let The Lead Guitars Ring...
Of Living Loving And Growing We Sing,
From our Hearts Souls and Minds Comes the Light That We Bring,
Take It Please Share It, Use It To Make More,
Affirm My Belief In What We're Doing This For.
O cosmic Birther of all radiance and vibration. Soften the ground of our being and carve out a space within us where your Presence can abide.
Fill us with your creativity so that we may be empowered to bear the fruit of your mission.
Let each of our actions bear fruit in accordance with our desire.
Endow us with the wisdom to produce and share what each being needs to grow and flourish.
Untie the tangled threads of destiny that bind us, as we release others from the entanglement of past mistakes.
Do not let us be seduced by that which would divert us from our true purpose, but illuminate the opportunities of the present moment.
For you are the ground and the fruitful vision, the birth, power and fulfillment, as all is gathered and made whole once again.
O Birther! Father- Mother of the Cosmos
Focus your light within us - make it useful.
Create your reign of unity now-
through our fiery hearts and willing hands
Help us love beyond our ideals
and sprout acts of compassion for all creatures.
Animate the earth within us: we then
feel the Wisdom underneath supporting all.
Untangle the knots within
so that we can mend our hearts' simple ties to each other.
Don't let surface things delude us,
But free us from what holds us back from our true purpose.
Out of you, the astonishing fire,
Returning light and sound to the cosmos.
Amen.
