an old song just keeps going through my head

[Guest guest]

Namah Sivaya all,

 

Misha and I had to bail from the tour after NM due to problems with

her back pain. So we are back home and send all of you our best.

 

Tonight as i wandered around the house, an old song kept leaping out

of my memory and i finally had to grab the guitar and see if i

remembered it. It came out 40 years ago (wow) and it was all there

except for a few missed chords that i had to fumble around for.

 

Funny how the same message keeps beating at me all these years...

Amma willing, I may yet get it.

 

5D by Roger McGuinn (The Byrds)

 

Oh how is it that I could come out to here

and be still floating

And never hit bottom and keep falling through

Just relaxed and paying attention

 

All my two dimensional boundaries were gone

I had lost to them badly

I saw the world crumble and thought I was dead

But I found my senses still working

 

And as I continued to drop thru the hole

I found all surrounding

Who showed me the joy that innocence is

Just be quiet and feel it around you

 

And I opened my heart to the whole universe

and I found it was loving

And I saw the great blunder my teachers had made

Scientific delirium madness

 

I will keep falling as long as I live

or without ending

And I will remember the place that is now

That has ended before the beginning

 

Oh how is it that I could come out to here

and be still floating

And never hit bottom and keep falling through

Just relaxed and paying attention

In Amma's Arms,
