My practice is a practice of this. Staying awake. Awake to every moment as best as I can. Staying awake especially in those moments I most want to run back into the comforts of deep slumber
Staying awake to me means staying conscious through all the moments. Feeling into deeper deepest depths of this human experience. Becoming stretched wiser from every unfolding relationship in every format.
That’s what this song is about. A reminder to myself, that especially when I want to run, that impulsive urge urging me to scatter is the actual alarm bell wailing, reminding that now is the perfect time, just to stay.
To stay awake
it begins this way
honey dipped day
got beginners luck
so we say we’ll stay
one uncomfortable
we must run away
it has come
so now don’t you run
it is here
so now stay near
seasons all confused
the flesh we refuse
say it’s a mistake
we all need a break
we forget to see
all the clarity
no mistake
please stay awake
stay awake
stay awake
“Stay Awake” is from my EP, The Daydream Project, a collaboration of creative juices from myself and The Blend Orchestra.
