live set recording is now out.
Heartfelt gratitude to and team for allowing me the chance to share my inner world that I otherwise struggle to express
I wrote out the words from spoken word poetry which was featured in the set towards the end, as I felt it resonates with our times now especially with the 159 lives lost recently in the heartbreaking Hong Kong fires. This set was originally dedicated to the memory of life, a reflection on the passing of time and a gentle acceptance of the present. The process of writing gave me solace in grieving loss and I hope it will translate for you too.
🤍in memory of life, love, and the beauty of humanity. Link to listen in bio.
“In existence you are written by history
You have become through pieces of unraveling future
You are no different than most ways of being
Nothing special in the present but s**t,
What simple wonder to be
Be of your bones, your breasts
Your eyes, nails, soul, woman, look
You are strength, temperamental joy
Cradled in arms that loved you first taught peace
Through every lesson learned, you are
Sincerity, you are this
DNA, you are
Intrinsic memory
Intrinsic love, lust, all things that
Make us good.
You are a mind of matter, you are
Cosmic, cosmos in all sensibilities
You are of blood that fought, and I mean
Fights, and battles, and persists
You are unquestionably of love, of divine, sacred womanhood
You are built by armour, hammer, molded tirelessly through callous hands
Carried, crafted, priceless worth
Protection, softness, obnoxious power,
Paradox, calm and complexity
You are, you are, you are
All me, all mine, here I am, here
I am constructed beyond lightning
Yet here we are
Yet here you are
So what simple wonder to be
And only to be.
Me, you, us, together.
One.” - Reggie The Leaf
