about
Sometimes ambivalent crosscurrents of experience can accompany our most rewarding experiences. Sometimes moments of calm and restfulness can be filled fill us with passion and energy. Sometimes simplicity can be full, rich and as sensorially multidimensional as a complex and challenging event.
Hold on refers both to the comfort of physical embrace as well as grasping on to and taking in the beauty of the moment. Each day is precious and we are all privileged participants in the panorama of nature. Holding on and embracing the good times, leaves us better prepared to deal with life's pains and adversity.
lyrics
Hold On 12/2/04
Thoughts flow like satin as the evening comes
Good things do happen in the soft glow of dusk
Sunset spills its light like honey
Into the valley, and then creeps back up the mountainside
As the sky explodes in reddish hues
Bouquets or aromas spawn deep slow breaths
Evening dance in motion, I’m mesmerized
Cool spots pop up like bubbles on water
As I shudder I reach down and touch my ankle tops
While you sigh and lean in on me
Hold, hold on, there’s no where I’d rather be
Hold, hold on, there’s no one I’d rather see
Hold, hold on, and nothing will break us
Hold, hold on, and nothing will take us away from here
I say, you say – life can be so intoxicating
You say, I say – I find these moments so exhilarating
I say, you say – a heartfelt chat would be so invigorating
You say, I say – quiet times are surprisingly scintillating
This is where we belong, taking comfort in natures song
Our eyes fixed on the sky, on whose beauty we rely
Final rays dip below the mountain
The darkening sky highlights the fiery glow
We strand and bid farewell to the show
Hold, hold on, there’s no where I’d rather be
Hold, hold on, there’s no one I’d rather see
Hold, hold on, and nothing will break us
Hold, hold on, and nothing will take us away from here
I say, you say – life can be so intoxicating
You say, I say – I find these moments so exhilarating
I say, you say – a heartfelt chat would be so invigorating
You say, I say – quiet times are surprisingly scintillating
