My words are my life.
My life, my ministry.
My ministry, my mission.

My mission is to try to communicate, as best I can,
the type of universality that is my world view.
To point out all the things that make us all
uniquely human.

All the things that make us differant, and all the
things that make us the same, that separate us,
and tie us together.

For after all, we are all but pieces of a great jigsaw puzzle
that when put together forms the most breathtaking and
beautiful picture of all;
The Face of God...

"The One"

I. To Touch:

So it is said that we are all one soul
As all divergent colours shining through one prism
Come out shining pure and white.

In the one true moment,
We shall move as one
Towards the healing memory
Of a time before we were scattered
And our tongues confounded.

A moment awaits you now.
Your heart waits to show you how.

To touch, to feel the ancient story.
Pass the cup of timeless glory.

The fire behind your eyes wants out!
No more to be imprisoned in doubt.

In through the silence as it speaks,
Be there,
Reach out and touch
The One.

II. Concentric Circles:

Join
Us in
The Song
Of Songs.

Begin
To move
In concentric
Circles

'Round
Until
The Dance
Becomes...

Until The Dance becomes you...
Until The Dance becomes you...

Until you become The Dance!

If you could let go
Of holding on...
As the days go by
You'd realize...

Something that you just cannot hide...
Is waiting for you only inside.

Waiting for you only inside...
Waiting for you only inside...

Something that you just cannot hide...
Waiting for you only inside.

III. Rumination:

Be ever vigilant, and be strong there.
The one you shine for
Could be running into your arms...
...And, your arms.

Be ever patient, and be still there.
The one you run to
Could be all there for you...
...And, you too.

When all you do
to beat your fears back
Once and for all...
...Won't make this moment last forever.

You take the daylight and you squeeze so tight...
That all the joy just drips right past you
Onto the ground.

To be washed away
In your tears, before you.

When light and darkness fade away.
And all that's left for you is gray.
You start to wonder how you could've
Been so blind...

IV. The Climb:

Though...
You have felt the miles between us.
Though...
You have lost the will to carry on.

So...
Look inside to find the answers.
So...
You can reach the next plateau.

Climb...
My child,
Climb!

V. As One:

Right here...
Where you face your deeper fears.
Right here...
Where your soul takes flight.

Right here...
All of our hearts are reaching.

Light a fire within your spirit.
Hold on tight to love.
And we can be as one......

Reaching

Fly away,
with your dreams.
You know ,
I'm not that far...

Fly away,
with your dreams.
You know,
I'm not that far away from you
in the scheme of things.

You touch me,
I'm still here.

And, I have never
gone away from you.

And, I'm reaching...

You are hurting
in the school yard.

You've just found out
that life is not always kind,
or pretty.

You sing a song
of sadness and despair

Believe me,
I have heard this song before.

And, I have always opened up
my heart for you.

For, you are a part of me...

So, fly away,
with your dreams.
You know , I'm not that far...

Fly away,
with your dreams.
You know ,
I'm not that far...

Fly away,
with your dreams.
You know,
I'm not that far away from you
in the scheme of things.

You touch me,
I'm still here.

For you know
that is my reason to be
to be here with you always.

And, I'm reaching...

You are naked
in the arms of love

And, you want to just pretend
that you're not fragile,
like porcelain.

Well, I guess that
that's just human nature.

But, I'll be here
if you find out differently

For I have always
had a soft spot right here
for you.

Never ending....

So, fly away,
with your dreams.
You know,
I'm not that far.

Fly away,
with your dreams.
You know,
I'm not that far away from you
in the scheme of things.

No....

You are shaking
with your last breaths.
You want to just close your eyes.

And be at peace
and without pain.

You heave one last sigh
and know I'll be there...

Waiting to enfold
in my arms.

And say
Well done my good
and faithful child.

As I always have been
for you, and you, and you....

So, fly away,
with your dreams.
You know,
I'm not that far

Fly away,
with your dreams.
You know,
I'm not that far away from you
in the scheme of things.

No....

"Patchouli"
for Richard

The Loons,
And theWoodpeckers
At night,
Remind me of Patchouli.

Fragrant as
The feel of stone.

The Cedar,
Running through my veins,
Wild as the Buffalo.

Oh, for those days!....

Patchouli,
Wash over my skin,
Warm as midnight breezes
On This Lake.

This Time…
This Moment…
Is ours...

Pretty lady
Reading the New King James…
Is this our fate, or hers?

We didn’t want to
Dive off of the high rock
Until we heard her splash…

And, we did.

We put The Cedar in her hands
And taught her to respect it.

My friend…
We are Patchouli.

Truly…
Patchouli…

You and I…

And, the Loons
And theWoodpeckers
At night,
And, the fragrance of Patchouli…

Fill my senses up to overflowing,
Now...

My friend…
We are Patchouli.

We are…

We have an inexhaustible supply
Of inexhaustible supplies.

My friends…
We are Patchouli…

Oh yes…
We are Patchouli.

We are…
We are Patchouli!

Us all…
We are Patchouli....

"My Eyes Have Seen"

My Eyes have seen
The Sadness of The Little Child
Fall within Your Eyes

My Eyes have seen
The Shadows of Your Discontent
Darkening Your Doors

I have been blind before.
And the things I did not see
Were no less real.

My Eyes have seen
The Passions of Millenniums
Rest among The Stars.

My Eyes have seen
The Fire Burning Underground
Soon to be snuffed out.

I have been down this road before.
But, 'round the next bend,
A place we call
Home.

My Eyes have seen
The Wonders of Kokopelli
Dance among The Trees.

My Eyes have seen
The Eagle, Owl and Butterfly
Light upon each breeze.

I have opened My Heart.
And, The Scales That Fell Away
Will no more haunt
My Soul.
