about

"Freedom to pass back and forth across the world division, from the perspective of the apparitions of time to that of the causal deep and back--not contaminating the principles of the one with those of the other, yet permitting the mind to know the one by virtue of the other--is the talent of the master...It is possible to speak from only one point at a time, but that does not invalidate the insights of the rest." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero With A Thousand Faces

lyrics

I didn't come here to tempt you
save your body or soul
or to serve as a signpost
on the way to your goal
I only am my own woman
who is still on her journey
a hero just like anyone
who's ever felt the same yearning

but all the same it may happen
that we pass on the way
in familiar patterns
as if I never strayed
for though the maps are unfolded
still so much is uncharted
& sometimes on the way to truth
you end up back where you started

(chorus)
& so let the circle be open
yet unbroken still
& so let me tell my own story
through love under will
because I have traveled & traveled
to call myself free
& so my own self will be mastered
by no one but me

so there may come a moment
when together we're lost
I may guard you or guide you
or our purpose may cross
I'll do it all with compassion
I have gained in my travels
because each blessed one of us
is facing down our own battles

(chorus)

no
I will never never never give it up this time
no
flesh & spirit finally standing on the same side

(chorus 2x)

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

everything is circles...
