Apotheosis

about

"Once we have broken free of the prejudices of our own provincially limited ecclesiastical, tribal, or national rendition of the world archetypes, it becomes possible to understand that the supreme initiation is not that of the local motherly fathers, who then project aggression onto the neighbors for their own defense. The good news, which the World Redeemer brings and which so many have been glad to hear, zealous to preach, but reluctant, apparently, to demonstrate, is that God is love, that He can be, and is to be, loved, and that all without exception are his children." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero With A Thousand Faces

lyrics

it happens in circles
within & without
despite your belief or
despite any doubt
it's not all that special
it's not all that rare
& so I forgot it
til it came to me there

(chorus)
& I'm shocked by it every time
this fire in everyone
so reach for it, you will find
your life has already begun

it happened in secret
at least at the start
I quested & questioned
it tore me apart
the spirit I nurtured
must no longer hide
come out from within me
I won't find it outside

(chorus)

I journeyed, I journeyed
I called unto Thee
in seeking and yearning
for deep Mystery
it's been with me always
not a moment too soon
reach up thus beginning
to draw down the moon

(chorus 2x)

it happens in circles
everything is circles
