play mp3 clip of Thresholds

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep!
You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep!

The door is round and open,
Where the two worlds meet.
Go across the Threshold.
Don’t go back to sleep!

play mp3 clip of Awaken

(verse – 2x)
Open my eyes to the miracles around me.
Wake me up, wake me up.

(chorus – 4x)
Awaken me!

Open my ears to Your whispered words of guidance.
Wake me up, wake me up.

Shake me from my sleep, and stir me from my dreaming.
Wake me up, wake me up.

play mp3 clip of Waters of Bliss

I drink from many fountains.
I am watered at many wells.
I float in the waves of the Waters of Bliss,
Where my body and soul are held.

I dissolve in Your ocean; I surrender to You.
I release into Your real ease; I am Yours, through and through.

I savor the flavor of family,
And I sip at the spring of friends.
I am filled with the flow from Above and Below,
No beginning, no end.

play mp3 clip of Right Here, Right Now

(intro)
The moment that is here right now is free-form, spiral leaping flames,
The smack, crack, deadly pop of lead becoming pure.

The moment that is here right now is intuitive rhythm and spontaneous pulse.
It is soul in hand on heart, it is Spirit throbbing true.

The moment that is here right now is trust, with pounding hearts and open eyes,
We are growing roots that stretch down and faith that reaches out.

The moment that is here right now is heartbeat, dancing, kissing union,
Embracing Yes! our highest vision -
As we celebrate all that is right here, and right now.

(chorus – 4x)
The moment we have been praying for is here
Right here, right now!
(descant)
Here and now, here and now

(verses)
Here is the minute, and now is the moment,
and it is passing by -
I’m the clock ticking, I’m the baby kicking,
I am the child’s cry.

Here is the minute and now is the moment
and it is passing by -
I’m the fire burning, I’m the heart yearning,
I am the lover’s sigh.

Here is the minute, and now is the moment,
and it is passing by -
I’m the breath taker, I’m the life maker,
I am the open eye.

(coda)
The moment we have been praying for is here
Right now, right now, right now,…
