In this moment you are free
Like a tree, in the breeze
Feel the wind move through your leaves
Letting go, for new growth
Send your roots down spiraling
Diving deeper, in your power
In this moment, breaking free
Like fire
Inspire
The Higher
Stand up and claim divinity like it's your birthright
And you must bring the light, to everything in sight
We are reflections of the stars shaped into human form
The universe inside you is asking love to guide you
One planet, one people, it's time to build community
No longer "What can I get?"
It's more like "What can I give?"
You are so beautiful, talented, and capable.
There is nothing to lose, only that which limits you.

The Story of this Recording:
___________________________________________
I wrote this song in late-2012, recorded it in 2013, and then set it aside without ever releasing it. While I was recording new songs this Summer (2015), I rediscovered this this track sitting on the shelves. Like finding a long lost crystal - I felt it's power, magic, shine, radiance, and relevance. It spoke to me - and asked to be released for those who need it at this time.

Song Meaning
___________________________________________
This song is all about relaxing into a greater sense of freedom in yourself. It's about claiming your authentic power - with dignity. It's about knowing your infinite potential, living your dreams, and sharing your gifts with absolute trust. And it's about coming together and creating community as empowered and energized beings holding a shared dream.

Special Note
___________________________________________
I'd like to express that just as I have grown so much since 2013, so has my sound and the songs I'm writing and recording now.
Something really special about this recording is that I actually played all instruments (except for a couple background synths) acoustically in the studio - in real time, in real space.
I say this, because now-a-days, I'm producing my new songs with electronic bass and drums.. which has a very different sound and a magic of it's own... and has also given me a new appreciation for the journey of what it takes to play and record acoustic instruments.
