about

In moments where the uncertainty feels too overwhelming, and I’m stuck between
or running out of choices, I find myself called to the edge of open water.
This is where I find refuge, speak with Spirit, ask questions, and listen for answers.
Usually the answers appear as subtle signs, leading me back towards ‘flow’, allowing
intuition to guide me to where I need to be, when I’m meant to arrive,
even if my mind does not yet know why.

lyrics

I believe in omens like seeing a pair of ravens
Flying overhead as I'm standing at the edge
With my arms wide open facing the ocean
Saying mama if you hear me
Can you please answer my questions

Like why am I here
On this ride in the atmosphere
Sometimes it's not so clear
Where's the way through all these fears

I have read the signals like the passage of an eagle
Who leaves behind a feather
To mark the winding roads we travel
So I will go the distance over rivers and mountains
Singing mama if you hear me
Can you please answer my questions?

She whispered inside my ear saying
"Child don't you worry dear
At low tide go walk on by
On reflections like a mirror"
When I did that's when I realized
I'm walking on the sky
I'm dancing with the wind
And the heaven that we search
Is nowhere but on earth and within

So I listen to the wisdom of the trees
To grow tall I must dig deep
Look to the stars and bend in the breeze
Spend my whole life reaching towards the light

That's why I am here on this ride in the atmosphere
With time it's becoming clear
What to do with time left in these years
