fLOWERS fOR tHE dEAD

From all the Attik house spirits, the ancestors, and the decendants... Flowers For tHE dEAD...

flowers for the dead
flowers for the dead
they've got time to smell 'em now
and think on what they've said
me i haunt myself so much i only hear my head
flowers for the dead


at my wake i'll finally wake and like a snake i'll shed
all the things that killed me and i'll start to live instead
my skin and bones i'll give 'em to the next on down the line
to resurrect a monument to this big me of mine
turning in my grave the page that booked marked what i knew
i'll reach up past the pain and sang a little song for you
i'll give the bee's and birds desert and be there for the dew
and soak up all the rain and sun so you can smell what's true


flowers for the dead x2
we've got time to smell em now and think on what we've said
me i haunt myself so much just help me clear my head
flowers for the dead x2


sometime i hear the spirits
sometimes i fear the spirits
sometimes i'm near the spirits
sometimes i feel the spirit


i've been pining in my boxes
no more boxes for me
any dirt on me
is right under your feet
feeds the flowers
feeds the fruits
look in closely you'll see


fowers for the dead x2
we've got time to smell em now and think on what we've said
me i haunt myself so much just help me clear my head

OPPORTUNITIES

Amidst the rushing rivers of opportunity is
the constant flowing possibility of creating exactly what you want
each moment and every detail of exactly what you want.

Opportunities gone unrecognized and missed
are reflectedin each star with whom you have not made friends
but there is no loss, because opportunity is perpetual.

You have become the person you are
a flower of life; a rose
forming an individual unique variety
responding to and utilizing opportunity like a spider
catching a fly floating on air.

You have nothing to fear; you are taken care of
your god self realization is inevitable
so relinquish your protection and go with the wind of god.
A fine, fine wind; the wind of time
blowing the total unrestrained love of isness
that which is all, all of it.

And in each moment, there is opportunity to shed the husk
peel away the skin down to the fruit
and be wide open to all that is
and live without fear on behalf of your own best interest
creating fresh love in every moment
and loving perpetually and perfectly
each and every person, animal, blade of grass, and insect.

the opportunity to be your God Self
out of the closet
is yours
and you know it's realization is inevitable

-Harrison Simms Happy Birthday!!!!

sometimes the truth
feels like a burning flame
when the flame is licking you
when you’re done calling to the rain

sang
con su mi fuego
take me to the sky again

sometimes the truth
feels like the ocean the way it moves
i can be shore
but there’s only so much those shore knew
con su mi mar
a tear returning home again

burning through fuel
energy, money
my cool
all i could puff was smoke
and i felt like such a fool
the fire forgave me to the air i needed

con su mi fuego
take me to the sky again

we're so powerful we can even deceive OURSELVES into thinking we aren't...

Sneak Peak 'Grace' footage in Loyan Warsame's Demo Reel

The Grace Dancer's

These are the Grace dancers:

studious teachers, contagious dancers, inter dimensional nondenominational shamans, singers & spirit raisers, mothers, my sisters, and the movement within oneself that brings about grace in the 'Grace' MusicmotionPictureShort and i tell you!!!...

after watching them dance every week,

while i was dancing with logistics, and frustration, and joy, and overwhelm, and gratitude...

playing with the lil' big homie Sean,

playing "leap frog", "give mommy presents", and "follow me around while i turn everything into a playground"...

holding newborn Khayri and matching my breath to his, my vibration to ours

and being washed with utterly unconditional love...

and after the madness of countess cancellations, logistics, reschedules, finding props for free, working with 20 people on a for the love budget etc...

i'm learning to relax into the unknown, to enjoy the dance , to dance with it all, to lead and to follow...

i'm learning i don't need a reason to smile

and i don't have to give myself a reason to frown

i'm learning what i really believe when things get hard

unearthing my buried broken hearts

and planting them again in more fertile soil
i'm learning to care

and to let go

i'm learning to love for no reason

because then it would stand to reason that no reason could make me stop ;)

i'm learning myself

and every genuine glimpse shows me you

looking at me looking at you

what a mirror-cle! ;)

like the soaring of a reaching flower

still. peaceful.

and soaring...

a yearning so great,

so deeply rooted,

it takes flight into it's own skies

the heart is the sun and the flower
