about

This song was inspired by my teacher and friend, Russell A. Smith. My time with Russ was so expansive and our work together informs most everything I do these days. I wish you all could have known him. His teachings remain even though his spirit has flown off on new adventures.

lyrics

Hello butterfly
How are you today?
I saw you moving in the sky
Lightwalking
When I take the proper seat
I being to see
Things that once were clear to me

When I take the proper seat,
I begin to see
things I see in front of me
With new clarity
I do what I say and I say what I do

Lightwalking
I saw a butterfly walking on light then a golden beam and a green leaf
A moment, a blip of lucidity
Lightwalking
