This album was written in 2006. It is a more vibrant, energy building project. It has alot more production and many more layers and instruments. It is an album of "coming of age." It represents some of the fruits from the many years of deep devotional yoga practice. Songs such as Shine On, Together and Strong As Diamonds all speak to the feeling of empowerment and joy. It is more of an album of celebration and heart opening to grace and guidance.
lyrics
together
(© 2006 w.morissette)
Om Saha Navavatu
Saha Nau Bhunaktu
Saha Viryam Karavavahai
Tejasvi Navadhitamastu Ma Vidvisavahai
Sanskrit translation
Let us be together
Let us progress and triumph
Let us gain energy and momentum
Lead us to clarity
Feeling of unity
Let there be peace peace peace and Oneness
"There is a Sanskrit term called Shramadana which means a collective working together.
The energy is that much greater when channeled by a group of people. Let us invite more and more people to join in the movement
of consciousness and awakening."

gayatri mantra
(© 2006 w.morissette / m.southworth)
Om Bhur Bhuva Svaha
Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasyadheemahi
Dhi Yo Yonah Prachodayat
Peering into things that make me feel good
It's the love that awaits it's already there
Letting go of any more shoulds
It's the joy that calls when I really stare (I'm into self care)
I dig within to awake the faith
It's all I have to bring me near
The freedom is at the next break
The waves of trust I hold really dear
(yes it's so clear)
It's known to all that we are the same
It's you that is the fire in the flame
I abandon all notion of reality
It's up for grabs and I'm using both my hands (and I understand)
The ups and downs turn into a plane
Horizon long unearthing my name
I can feel now the wind at my back
It's gotta be good no room for lack (I'm on the right track)
Take me to the land of make believe
Where the opportunity lies, no disguise
Lifetimes of yearning leads me to the
Realization of the Immediate NOW
Sanskrit translation
Oh God Thou art the Giver of Life
Remover of pain and sorrow
The Bestower of happiness
Oh! Creator of the Universe
May we receive thy supreme sin-destroying light
May Thou guide our intellect in the right direction
"Yes, yes, yes. I am supreme joy. I am moving out of the way for this to happen"
