Memoirs in a Song...

Stories, Stones and Bones is a name given to me in a dream some 10+ years ago. I used the title for my first book of lyrics when I sent it to be copywritten... This blog is a compendium of my book of lyrics, from 1996 to present.

The name holds a sense of ancient wisdom, which I hope begins to seep thru my songs: What are the stories the earth tells, that are written on our ancestral bones? What is the deeper pool of knowledge that we can drink from as we birth ourselves into creative evolutionary beings? Where are our roots? What is the journey we have taken, personally and collectively?...

And so begins the story, woven in song, as fallen through the lyrics of my music...

More lyrics will be coming soon (I've written well over 100 songs!)... In the meantime, I hope you enjoy!

The "archive by date" list on the lefthand side will help your journey - which begins in March of 1996, when the first song flew out of my lips...

Eyes of Divinity

Inspired by a painting of Eagle Woman by Susan Seddon Boulet...

...
Verse 1:
And my hands are the same as the garden, I dig down deep
Reaching earth and soil and rock and riverbed
Here I am, oh here I stand
I wish I could fly and I can
I am eagle, I am woman
I am the whole world held in my hands
I am eagle, I am woman
I am the whole world held in a grain of sand

Verse 2:
And my body dissolves in the river that rolls round me
Washing my soul of all impurity
Tumble me like a riverstone
I wish I were water and I am
I am river, I am woman
I am the blood in my veins
I am river, I am woman
I am the lifeblood that flows in everything

Chorus:
And the ocean is cradled in the earth
Embraced by the sun and the whole of the universe
There’s no separation between you and me
We are all one in the eyes of divinity

Verse 3:
And my mind is clear as an amethyst hidden in stone
Crystal lucidity encased in flesh and bone
Luminous from an inner sun
I wish to be light and I am
I am radiant, I am woman
I am the chrysalis of eternal mind
I am radiant, I am woman
I am the chrysalis of everlasting life

(Chorus) . . . In the arms of infinity!
