  • In this episode, our guest, Patricia Dennison, offers something different. Five songs about nonduality, along with our discussion of putting nondual lyrics within the heart opening sound of simple guitar music and vocal harmony.

    LYRICS TO THE SONGS IN THIS EPISODE:

    THERE IS NO END
    There is no end to who I am.
    I must manage 'till the end.
    To make a story once again,
    With a me I must defend.

    This self creation keeps me safe.
    This is just how I know my place.
    Even if there is the pain,
    At least I know just who I am.

    Sometimes I feel the flow
    Of something I can't know.
    It takes a simple thing.
    A miracle it brings;
    A unity,
    But then it fades, you see.

    In this world I can see,
    This clever mind deceiving me.
    With each story I renew,
    I push away from life and you.

    The more I try, the less I see.
    A way to change this mind made me.
    If I could stop, then I would not,
    And something else might come to be.

    Sometimes I feel the flow
    Of something I can't know.
    It takes a simple thing.
    A miracle it brings;
    A unity,
    But then it fades, you see.

    ℗ 2010 Patricia Dennison

    WHO'S WATCHING
    Am I here?
    In this moment All alone?
    Wishing to disown
    What I've become
    There are so many voices.
    They all imprison me.
    And I can't seem to see
    Who’s watching?

    If you think you know
    The mind and its desires.
    Think again and know
    The consciousness required
    Even though my love seems true
    There's claiming and possession too
    True love can never find me
    Who’s watching?

    If you wish to live
    A life of sinless virtue
    There is no one here
    Who can begin to teach you
    Virtue makes abundance flow
    Then desire begins to grow
    Then peace can never reach you
    Who’s watching?

    ℗ 2010 Patricia Dennison

    SARVE PRAYER
    Sarve bhavantu sukhinah

    (Translation)
    All be Happy

    I BELIEVE
    I Believe for every drop of rain that falls,
    A flower grows;
    As life must flow.

    I believe that somewhere in the darkest night,
    A candle glows;
    And we all know.

    I believe for everyone who goes astray,
    Someone will come To show the way.

    I believe, I believe.

    I believe above the storm, the smallest prayer
    Will still be heard;
    By us all

    I believe that someone in the great somewhere,
    Hears every word;
    We all can hear

    Every time I hear a newborn baby cry,
    Or touch a leaf,
    Or see the sky The I know why;

    We need to flow
    With life we know
    We know...

    ℗ 2010 Patricia Dennison

    I AM

    I Am...
    I Am Light
    I Am All
    I Am One
