Spirit, Soil & Soul 17 ~ Dad's Day

A show in honor and appreciation for my Dad, Richard Warren Grefrath, whose birthday is tomorrow.  Big Gratitude to my Uncle Peter & Mom for suggesting some of the Tracks this time around.  I didn't get a chance to include both my and my Father's love for Banned Literature, but I'd like to offer appreciation here for my Father's fierce belief in people's right to read whatever they like.  He was a Librarian for many decades and helped a lot of students in their pursuits.

Spirit, Soil & Soul 16 ~ The Heart is a Boat

A Show in honor of an event tonight in Davis, California at N Street CoHousing.
The Painting is entitled "The End of the World" by Bruce Russell, a man whom I worked with at Nabolom Bakery, who passed on around the end of 2016.  I love this painting, and miss the man who made it.  We will also be honoring my friend's Robert, Camelia & Baby Forest's recent move to Davis!

Leliumoj
(Leliumoj)
Lithuanian winter song
Leliumoj anta dvaro, leliumoj, nauji palociai, leliumoj.	Leliumai, in a manor, leliumai there's a new palace, leliumai.
Tuose palociuose, bernelis sėdėjo, leliumai.	In that palace, a lad was sitting,
Bernelis sėdėjo, kilpinėlas narstė, leliumai.	A lad sat, and tangled loops,
Kilpinėles narstė, ir antelas gaudė, leliumai.	Tangled loops, to catch ducks,
Ir antelas gaudė, ir mergelai siuntė, leliumai.	To catch ducks, and send them to the lass.
Imsi neimsi, nor paminėsi, leliumai.	Ye lassie, whether you will take me or not, at least you will remember me,
Anta dvaro, nauji palociai, leliumai.	In a manor, there's a new palace,
Tuose palociuose, mergelė sėdėjo, leliumai.	In that palace, a lass was sitting,
Mergelė sėdėjo, margas juostas audė, leliumai.	A lass sat, and wove mottled belts,
Margas juostas audė, ir berneliui siuntė, leliumai.	Wove mottled belts, to send them to the lad.
Imsi neimsi, nor panašosi, leliumai.	Ye lad, whether you will take me or not, at least you will wear them.

Cover of "Art Mind" ~ The Healing
Power of Sacred Art by Alex Grey

Sure and swift in the winless race 

set free as an opened cage 

withered mind to regain 

your secret's fall like whispered rain 

and the night it holds like a met gaze 

your mirror knows 

the sudden flight through the gate aflame, 

wake and rise, it could be all life 

if you let the reigns and lean, lean in 

My love, be brave 

get up out your way, get up out your way 

when it calls you near, calls you near 

It can try to hold as I scream out, the burn 

of want, the cold of doubt, there is only this 

no pretend, no begin, and no end 

your secret's catch like a hidden throat 

your mirror knows the sudden-flight…. 

Can you let it lead… let lead… let…
