If there was ever a time where we, as a human race or species, need rebirth… I believe its now.
What is music?
What is it about the sounds of music that we are so drawn to? It’s a
spiritual language, a universal emotional connection that we all share
with music; and it has the ultimate power to unite us.
I know what you’re thinking…”Oh here we go…rock n’ roll can save the
world….how cheese…” But what if the messages in songs reminded us who we
are? What if music was to awaken the masses of people who have been
lulled to sleep by the sound of safety and routine, by the drone of
money making, by the image of the American dream, Wal-Mart and
soft-serve iced cream on a Sunday?
What if music called us all back to the wild, like the ghostly howl
of a lone wolf in the night calls for the pack miles and miles away;
signaling a kill and uniting the clan in one long rising and falling
tone?
Why have we forgotten our instincts? We are the only species that
seems to have become disconnected with the very earth we come from, and
return to. By definition, I would suggest that our impact, and
behavior, rivals that of locusts. We devour our surroundings like a
plague, thinking nothing of the future and annihilate entire eco-systems
as if we didn’t need them.
The fact is that we are part of our environment; we are connected in
the very genetic code that binds all things on this planet. It seems
obvious, but we belong here like fish belong in the sea, and trees in
the forests… It seems redundant to state it, but we are the Universe. I
am the ocean, the mountains, the sky, the air… We are mostly made of water … WATER! What do we do with our pure, and sacred water? Recently… we, as a human species dumped an astronomical 4.9 million barrels, or 205.8 million gallons
into the Gulf of Mexico. Sadly, this is one incident amongst many,
many others. Our very way of life, the one most encouraged by our
society, is slowly and effectively killing the very life source and
energy that has sustained us so graciously for thousands of years.
What is going on??? Who is at the head of our species? Who is leading
our pack in this direction and allowing this absolute tragedy to
continue?? I know where to find the buffoons, liars, and thieves; but
where are the leaders of our time?
The Hopi
Indians believe that we are very close to a time of renewal. They were
told that they would see America come and go. In a sense, America is
dying from within, because they’ve forgotten the instructions of how to
live on earth.
Before the sun sets on our time, I hope that the people who are able
to hear, will hear the call, and become awake. Their eyes will be
opened, they will chose to walk the path of the Earth, and they’ll walk
in the steps of the Spirit.
I will sing of all these things, and I hope it inspires the search
for the deep, the truth, and the path that was once the way of life,
before we came to this place.
