Cosmic Celebration (Live Concert Recording)

After you have soaked in presence of something there is simply more there The universe is intensely present desiring to explode out in celebration of itself When you have been in the forest deepening your sensitivity to the forests presence The richness within you cannot be contained You radiate forest where you go whether or not you say a single word It would be hopeless to try to stop this natural outpouring of being As useless as trying to stop the wind As trying to stop the rain or the sun Or trying to prevent the expansion of galaxies Being folds itself into concentrated fullness then erupts in an explosion of joy And then the artist sends forth their works The singer sings The writer writes The parent lavishes love upon their children This cosmic dynamic of celebration is the eruption of being out of sheer emptiness Elementary particles spontaneously erupt out of nothingness Emptiness is permeated with the urgency to leap forth
