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”

Life is mine for the making

The Wicked are intrinsically good

Sanskrit translation and lyrics

May the good obtain peace

May the peaceful be freed from all bonds

May the freed set others free

to awaken ourselves and allow this energy

to shift consciousness.”
