David John Morris (@hothandsthaye) explores personal, spiritual, and musical growth after his nine-month retreat at a Nova Scotia Buddhist monastery p4k.in/qzZsrGT
It goes like this:
When my heart opens with energy
It flows to those I love
And like a wave coming up on the shore
A smile rises up from my shoulders
Gathers my lips and cheeks and chin
Unlocks the casket in my jaw
And breaks from my eyes

It was not a home run
But it felt great
I pretended
In my English accent
To not know which way
One should hold the bat
To the opposing team
Comprised
Of Nova Scotian
Firefighters
Who play the monastery
Each year on Canada Day
And then I hit
A quasi doozy
To the left field

It’s been a week since New Safe came out. The song has been totally and forever expanded by the video that @granfalloonary has made; it feels inseparable now. Here’s a clip, with the full thing here youtu.be/leCxLfjX3zI and below some more words on how it came about...
It was a joy to release New Safe 3 days ago, Sarita did such a good job putting the phone videos together - it elevates the song & personally makes an incredible souvenir of my time living at #gampoabbey w/ #pemachodron who used to call me "Mr Boundless"

First song from the new album is out! Beautiful video by Sarita McNeil for the song feat. @thorharris666 Thierry Amar and other friends. Album comes May 21. youtu.be/leCxLfjX3zI
Sometimes it’s easy to get sucked in to the fact of losing money on every album, comparing stats with others; all manner of nonsense. Then sometimes it lands that somewhere out there someone is playing a song that you came up with & hearts are interacting with it. Wow gratitude!
