SYSTEM SONGS PART 1
Oct. 21st, 2017 04:24 amMusic is at the heart of our System, deep as color, deep as love, bound inextricably and ineffably to both.
Over the years, there have been many songs that have cut straight to our center, always with ardor, be it through pain or sorrow or joy or all of it, everything eternally wrapped up in love, all of it blooming and aching and singing that same truth.
No matter what happens, we are all blissfully in love with being "we"... with us, with each other. No matter what brought us here, no matter what brings us closer, be it poverty or wealth, sickness or health... for better and never worse, we are in this together, and that truth is emblazoned on all of our hearts for as long as we all shall share this life together-- quite literally so.
And, like all those who are in love, we can't help but express it through music.
Hence this entry.
Here, I will begin to not only list but describe each System Song in our personal music library and Spotify archive both. It is only fitting that we reflect on them so specifically, and that we share them-- because such focus and generous sincerity of emotion will only strengthen our bonds to each other, as well as hopefully motivate other Systems to do the same, or similarly, with &/or for their own.
So, one final time, plainly, before we begin--
To all of my fellow Nousfoni in the Lotus Cathedral System, to all of our Outspacers and Inspacers, to our Socials and damaged ones and hidden ones, to every single soul sharing this mind and body and heart and life with me... I love you. I love you without a shred of doubt, with every ounce of ardor in me, with every last glimmer of joy and gratitude I can possibly feel. I love you, I love you, I love every last one of you, and I promise you, I will love you all for as long as love exists to share with you.
Thank you for making this life of ours the most blessed thing imaginable.
Now let's sing about it.
