Meditation Retreat

The empty soul can fly

So empty your pockets and soar

The wise know how to die

What good is this life for?

Oh, our little Dawn

Let us ask you a koan

Oh, our little Dawn

Let us help you go on

We sit

Thank you so much for your kind words! The link to the song should work now if you're curious :)

Sad but told with such an upbeat smile that it's hard to resist. Nice work!

[encrefloue]

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

Nothing wants you, won't you want it, too ...this is a brilliant refrain. This is a very cute tune, though, I actually find the concept of the last line in conflict with the nature of zen. :-/

[encrefloue]

Thank you very much! You're absolutely right; it is in conflict. The song isn't really about actual Zen buddhism-it's about predatory outliers who weaponize it and gaslight with it.

This was nice, and as usual, enjoyed the video and hearing you sing this.
