A Plea to Remember

I wrote something for you and I also recorded it into a sonic experience – because you know how I just love those! You can listen to it here or read below.

A Plea to Remember

There’s so much goddamn noise.

Poking. Prodding. Yelling.

Judging. “Should”ding. Shouting.

There’s so much goddamn noise.

Of course you are curled up in fetal position

eating a full pint of ice cream under the covers.

There’s so much goddamn noise.

And the truth is there always has been.

It just took a global pandemic for it to hit a volume we can’t take anymore.

Come here, baby girl.

Let me hold you.

Let me sing to you a sweet lullaby.

Let me soothe your heart.

I see you’re scared.

I feel your quivering heart.

I can taste your fear.

Bitter.

Stinging.

Tears.

Come here, baby girl.

Let me soothe your heart.

Let me tell you a story.

It’s the story of how our world rearranged itself –

And how our cells rearranged themselves in the process.

You see the world got really noisy.

People were told what they needed to need – and then were asked to pay money for it.

People began to believe that they needed things outside of themselves to be happy.

People scrambled to make money for those things by working really really hard – and got themselves sick in the process.

Everyone forgot about singing with the trees.

Everyone stopped dancing in the breeze.

Everyone lost their way back to quiet.

Our cells lost their life force.

Our skin lost its vibrancy.

Our muscles lost their elasticity.

And our heart lost its way through our inner landscape.

There’s so much goddamn noise.

I want to run.

I want to close my ears and sing “lalalalllaaaa”.

I want to give you all my middle finger.

There’s so much goddamn noise.

Haven’t we learned to stop shouting at each other?

Haven’t we learned that more words, opinions, theories, formulas, strategies and voices are not helping anymore.

Haven’t we figured it out?

That we just need to take a goddamn pause and shut the f** up for a minute.

And listen.

Feel.

Be.

Can we just sit in silence.

Her silence. His silence. Their silence.

Our silence.

And breathe.

Breathe into our collective belly. Into our pelvis. Into our hearts.

And remember.

What we came here to do.

To peel away all that is stopping us from being love.

And from there we can build a new world. On the ashes of the old.

Come here, baby girl.

Let me hold you.

Let me sing to you a sweet lullaby.

Let me soothe your heart.

I know the world seems scary right now and people are dying.

Right here. Right now it can feel worse than it ever has been.

But just like the noise that’s always been there, the darkness is simply being brought into the light.

This is here so we can learn.

The is here so we can get quiet.

This is here so we can rearrange.

From the inside out.

And from that, we will come back to love.

And that will save us.
