Under the mask
Softer and sweet ~ Can I be the man that I need ~ Cedar and smoke ~ It’s all in my head ~ And I know my sorrows ~ Well I’ll watch it burn ~Burn down to ash ~ I’ll burry my past~ And tomorrow I’ll seek
(Press play ———————————⬆️)
What is the shape of love
The color of truth in tongue
Is it harder to see
Than the splinter in me
What is the sound of hope
The pattern of doubt in tow
Is it harder to hear
Than the ring of my fear
And what’s under this mask
Is it covered by shame
Am I hiding myself
Is it lost in my pain
Softer and sweet
Can I be the man that I need
Cedar and smoke
It’s all in my head
And I know my sorrows
Well I’ll watch it burn
Burn down to ash
I’ll burry my past
And tomorrow I’ll seek
What is an act of grace
The taste of a sweet embrace
Is it harder to feel
Than than the strike at my heel
What is the sake of time
The journey of one long life
Is it harder to make
Than the mess that I’ve made
And what’s under this mask
Is it hollow and blank
Am I ugly inside
Is it all a mistake
Softer and sweet
Can I be the man that I need
Cedar and smoke
It’s all in my head
And I know my sorrows
Well I’ll watch it burn
Burn down to ash
I’ll burry my past
And tomorrow I’ll seek
And tomorrow
Is coming fast
When this day is done
Call it freedom, freedom at last
And my story
Is hardly done
What I write from here
Is a credence, of all that I am
Softer and sweet
Can I be the man that I need
Cedar and smoke
It’s all in my head
And I know my sorrows
Well I’ll watch it burn
Burn down to ash
I’ll burry my past
And tomorrow I’ll seek

Thanks for listening… (song is above ☝️ below the photo, incase you missed it).
Currently in the midst of a week long retreat here at the farm with a group from the states. It’s amazing to finally be back in action with the spaces being used for their original final intentions. They leave tomorrow (Friday) and on Sunday we have a group of 12 women arriving from Bulgaria for their week long retreat. Honestly I think ours our first back to back retreat experience, love it!
It’s been months of hard work organizing and cleaning and taking massive action toward progress to get the farm in its best shape ever.
I started off really over working, thinking that I needed to have my hands on every project. A few months of that and I could see burnout on the horizon.
I realized I needed to immediately start building our team and learning how to delegate, teach, and trust the people showing up to support us.
I have to credit my wife for all of her patience with me and my stubbornness. She’s been the one to remind me of our true priorities and the little things that are most important. When the family is good, everything else works.
Benjo is running all around the farm these days and it’s shocking to watch him grow and learn so much every day. He’s keeps up busy and entertained working overtime with a new aversion to naps!
Come April we will start making our way to the states for a seven week trip. I’ll be on tour with Satsang and caro and ben will visit Tia Dania and tio John in Boston, then make their way to Ohio to spend my break from tour with me.
I’m feeling lucky and optimistic with the movements right now in life. And I’m feeling aware of how important it is for me to get better at enjoying the present moment in the process, rather than the hyper focus on the steps coming ahead.
It’s Thursday. Thanks for listening and thanks for reading.
