....partial lyrics
I thought some lessons were over
I thought some doors were closed
But nothing ever leaves us
Till it shows what must be known
We walk together
Through the unknown
We stay and let the truth be known
Heart awake and hand in hand
We walk together
Eyes wide open
Through whatever comes and goes
Shoulder to shoulder, steady on the road
Across the miles the monks keep walking
Bare feet worn on stone
Orange robes against the morning
Step by step alone
Through the towns and through the valleys
Over dust and plain
Every footfall softly saying
Not racing toward a headline
Not arguing with the sky
Just the discipline of breathing
Step by step, alive
Eyes wide open
We walk together

​Background
​​​​​​
I have been deeply blessed in my lifework as a spiritual mentor for private individuals coming to private retreat with me -- often with decades of early abuse, later life trauma, relational losses, and challenging crossroads. In my practice, I was overwhelmed many times in seeing the transformational moment where a particular piece of music, for a particular person, and at an exact moment --- was experienced as (what can only be called) true healing and awakening. And that level of perceptual shift, does not ever fully go away again.
​
Feel free to reach out if you are interested in collaborating with me (privately or in public works) using a custom created Essence Song as a rich carrier of insight and transformation.
​
​​
Much living experience moves through the body before it becomes thought or knowing — It often comes more accessibly through rhythm, tone, breath, and repetition. Music meets that layer directly. It carries what is understood not only by the mind, but by the nervous system, the cells, and the long memory of being alive.
​
I have evolved into writing Soul-Essence songs because song allows a person to deeply feel and recognize what cannot be as deeply invoked and experienced in most other ways.
Essence is naturally recognized through experiences of felt resonance—and for this, music with lyric becomes a doorway to deep inner seeing.
​
​​I have found, that songs written from within this energetic have the capacity to carry the listener into the inner threshold of essential seeing. This is precisely the space where healing breakthroughs occurred in my decades of work with private clients, and where life reorients itself naturally—not through force, but rather through deeply felt reflection and realization of true self.
​
These songs are composed where lived experience, soul recognition, and musical motion meet. They are not meant to persuade or perform meaning, but to transmit it — so that something already known can be felt, named, and met as whole.​
