Wow, it feels good to be back! It's been 10 weeks since I've participated in the #openmic. I've been working diligently on some video productions these past few months, while also being on dad duty, and so I haven't spent much time on the front side of the camera.
“Road Of Life”
The Story
For Easter weekend, I had the honor of sitting in a spiritual ceremony called a "tipi meeting." This mystical experience gave me the inspiration for this song, written for Steemit Vision Quest - Week 9, visualizing “The Road.”
The Lyrics
Road of life
Lead us in the straight and narrow line
Lead us in the way the crow flies
Lead us in the skyward journey
Lead us
On the path of least resistance
Lead us to the destination
Where one journey ends another begins
Mother Earth
Be the water flowing for us
Be the wildflowers growing with us
Be the fire to inspire us
Father Sky
Guide us by the sun the moon the stars
Guide us by the wind the rainbow
Guide us by the rain the lightning
We will
Caterpillar in and butterfly out
Standing with the strength of the mountains
Walking with the spirit of the buffalo
We will
Honor all of our relations
Honor every dot in the medicine wheel
Honor every life and every point of light
The Acknowledgements
I'm grateful to @luzcypher for bringing us the #openmic, week after week. This event lights me up, again and again, energized by the invitation to celebrate the spirit of creativity and community through the music and fellowship we share. I feel encouraged by the growth I see in the people who participate in these Open Mic events, including myself. Thanks to all of you.
