about

Recorded in a van at the Florida Earthskills gathering in February with cold fingers and an iphone, on a borrowed guitar.

Written on my travels through Central America in January 2022, begun as a collaboration with the greatest-love-poet Pablo Neruda's poem The Insect, and soon meandered into the celestial corners of my imagination and devotion.

lyrics

From your hips to your feet
I will honor the whole of you
Making the long journey
To reawaken my soul with you

I’m smaller than
Smaller than an insect
There’s so much yet
So much yet to know of you

I go along these hills
De la Madre tierra
Moving my beauty prayer
Through your fields of gold avena

So milky smooth
You know the way to soothe me
There’s so much new
Born in these fruits of beauty

Milk maiden Moon is full
And shes ripe with potential
My soul grows roots when I see you
The moonlight river runs torrential

I run towards you
Vuelo a través del mundo
Yo y tu en un rio de luz
Luz alrededor del cuerpo

I am a seeker at your shrine
With an earnest love to bare
La tortuga brilla en las estrellas
And I offer up my prayers

My prayer’s for you
You know the way to soothe me
A deep red rose of devotion blooms
My heart is a call to duty
