The Great Mystery Sound Journey
A live improvised performance by Dream Chambers with video images by Helen Gilley.
Lyrics
Delicate Flower you’re a star in the long grass
Soft on my eye as I lay on a blanket of fern
And learn to look at the sky
With a stillness of being held soft in my mind
Green and grey, soft luminesce
The Great Mystery is present
I wait I know an infinite design
Expands all around me
Endlessly amazing, endlessly changing
Acknowledgement: The concept of The Great Mystery or Swen-i-o comes from Native American and First Nations teachings. I am deeply grateful for the generosity and writings of Twylah Nitsch and her granddaughter Jamie Sams, elders of the Wolf Clan of the Seneca People.
