Band Members: I dedicate my new song to refugees and the people who love and help them.
The mind is aware, that's true.
But, who knows?
Let words fall away
and all their changing meanings
that fill us with confusion.
The sounds of the universe swiftly pass through.
Let them infuse us with the truth
of wonder.

The African Violet
Crying, crying,
the african violet opens to the day
blooms, dew-laden
in the most fragile conditions
and not without great care
even in these wildest of hands.
