Epilogue

lyrics

I thought it all came to a cross but it turned into a circle
When I started using green with a touch of orange and purple
Like sunset over rock mountains with a forest in the distance
It dissipated my resistance to truth, to flow
To what I've always known in the recess of my soul
In the darkness where I grow
And so I let go of the burden I'd been bearing
Of the mask that I'd been wearing
It was such a heavy load
To judge a thing on quality alone is a delusion
Whether right or wrong, good or evil can't ever be proven
You can point your finger, scream and shout
And stay lost in the illusion
Or sit quietly, watch your thoughts and feel the mountains moving
This meditation is a blessing and provision
To help us see beyond the falsehood of division
And so the universe bestowed on us a vision
Of a lung filled up to zero, turned to one in exhalation

So here I sit and contemplate the might of this existence
While something in me tries to qualify the world with such insistence
Some say that all is nothing, some say that all is one
Who speaks the truth? I seek the truth in everyone
Within these bodies we must seek a clearer view
If you zoom out far enough the galaxy's a molecule
And if we look within ourselves, we're given yet another clue
This expansion and contraction is a microcosm too
You are the perfect self and yet you don't know what to do
You seek a thousand goals and know not which one to pursue
But don't forget that every river found the ocean blue
I wonder on the way if every drop of water knew
Your mind's stuck in a loop and is just endlessly repeating
The fog you think you're stuck in is just something you're perceiving
The wisdom of this world I can no longer find relief in
The teachings of my wordless breath are all I can believe in
