“Music does bring people together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit. No matter what language we speak, what color we are, the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith, music proves: We are the same.”
― John Denver

One of my all-time favorite musicians and song-writers is John Denver.  I feel like he had a special gift for sharing joy and raising conscious awareness of so many important issues.  I’d like to share a version I did of one of his songs, Annies Song:

inscribed
in the safety
of softness
stories yet
to be ridden

tiny
tumblings in darkness
laughing for all possibilities
unnamed unbridled
unconcerned unbidden

the stepping stone
to be lightly touched
between spaces
of infinity
understood but hidden

from light
first formless
gaining the weight
of the world
in swirls of freedom

where the
infinite and measured meet
the slow kiss
of union and separation
mingled

burdenless of
breath and death
floating in dreams
undreamt of yet

the endless sea
delivers its own shore
its own jewel
its secret store

replete
but amnesiatic
to lose itself
for the delicious overarching
return to its eternal calyx

— shashi light

Warm wishes for a beautiful holiday season to you all!
