Glimpses of a spirit begging to be freed

Stillness becomes thee

I say these words from my soul
And my Tibetan singing bowl
The healing frequency sounds it makes..

MAN:          In so short a time

Born

From the darkness

The way begins

All words are water

Flowing

 

GAIA:             From my innermost being

       I gave abundance!

My words flow from the mountain top

My words give succour to the land

My words are the waters of the sea

 

PRIEST:          The ...
