Carry Me 02:55
Oh what counsel comes to me on this lofty edge? Music lights my darkest hour and friends save me from myself Carry me I've got nothing left All is rotting In my care High up in sentinels spire, pass the time telling tales I believe in hero's power, though im not one myself Carry me I've got nothing left All is rotting In my care I've been there and back again Met some enemies and made some friends Tonights the night to make amends Every beginning was once and end Let's see what's coming up around that bend When in doubt follow your heart And when we're high as a kite we just might Have to go all night

I was born to live free or die And i grew up somewhere else Where someone had already died Now I'm free to pursue my quest Let's do something fun king awesome Let's solve all the world's problems Everyone's minds born to be free Living the adventure of our dreams Now I live in between Mother nature and father society Begging if you please For a little piece of piety Let's do something fun king awesome Let's solve all the world's problems Everyone's minds born to be free Living the adventure of our dreams Living the adventure of our dreams With all the ideas of what our lives are for They're all perceptions until we walk through the door Let's do something fun king awesome Let's solve all the world's problems Everyone's minds born to be free Living the adventure of our dreams Living the adventure of our dreams Pawned my soul so many times Is it even mine to own? When all thats left is leaving Im leaving in a poem Let's do something fun king awesome Let's solve all the world's problems Everyone's minds born to be free Living the adventure of our dreams Living the adventure of our dreams

Night snowing we're irrelevant Look at the stars with reverence We're all journeying, it's the elephant In the back room of the establishment Wave goodbye Wasted life Tell me all the reasons why Sometimes darkness wants your light for a friendly fire Truth is said to be self evident Lost my respect for the office of the president This may sound insensitive Has anyone seen democracy? Oh it came and went Wave goodbye Wasted life Tell me all the reasons why Sometimes darkness wants our light for a friendly fire Sometimes darkness wants your light for friendly fire

Moon Shadow 03:44
Guide the way Get out and go to the point of adventure Let go your mind it's all an expression Of our beings in four dimensions Moon shadow on fresh snow Stir loose my soul Restore me to whole If i may be so bold Once you arrive you know that your leaving Traveling on with changing seasons Will we ever know if we're dreaming? Moon shadow on fresh snow Stir loose my soul Restore me to the whole If i may be so bold Wind in a jar, footsteps underwater Let's go further in and out much farther Renew your creative path and then walk it Moon shadow on fresh snow Stir loose my soul Restore me to whole If i may be so bold

A traveling song is a love song Amy Let's you and me hit the road Stop at all the way points with others Healing ourselves in the flow Never really talked to anyone Til after I met you Broke my inner pain of glass To find there's always been another holding true Love is an adventure experienced now Only one way to go All along the four dimensional plane Or up the harder way slope Never really talked to anyone Til after I met you Broke my inner pain of glass To find there's always been another holding true Trust

about

Another seven year cycle turns...
The sword of resonance is reforged in the sacred spring waters of the mountains...
Adventure calls out across the infinite nothingness,
And there are those that listen for its whisper upon the winds of time...

Come and get it! Step right up!
Uncle Chut's Finest Sonic Compost!
Two hundred and twenty two percent pure
Decaying matters
Stirred by hand
In the heart, mind and soul
Cures all kinds of creative malaise
Including:
"im not good enough" Syndrome
NAWWAL Disorder
Robin Victim Hood
Pain Is An Illusion
Story Stuckness Experience
Futurelessness
Past Vortex Addiction
And many more!

After traveling the globe and the early reaches of universal conciousness, Ive returned for respite and healing before setting out on my sixth cycle into the created future. As patterns that no longer serve me are completed and those that do are carried forward, I continue to discover that these decaying matters of conciousness need not be simply thrown out, rather they are part of the beauty of new ideas, understandings and freedoms yet to be fully expressed through sound.

Though I have been part of foolish tasks and spoken careless words into the void, I ask not for forgiveness, nor do I beg for my life, for it is not my own. Instead I would entreat all to discover the wonderous depths of love revealed in the process of creativity. It is there that life becomes a truly artistic endeavor and all the meanings and stories we think we are disolve in the infinite present way of being continuously created however we want right now.

Nothing is impossible. Everything is always. No one knows what will happen. And though we think we know who someone is, may we look newly at everyone everyday and discover who they authentically want to be so that we are related to their journey and our collective future.

Remember, decaying matters.

Endless thanks to all who have lived so that I in turn have this awesome being of aliveness to carry forward for all who come after!

May those who love you, miss you and remember you!

about

Decaying Matters Freedom, New Hampshire

Decay Matters is committed to transmuting the rotting shit of life into creative gold through authentic attending to the process, art and pain of being alive. Much like compost, this produces fertile soil for continued growth and delicious fruits, through our shared labor of love, that is the joy of conciousness.

To clarify, I am full of rotting shit and soul composting is infinite permaculture.
