The Trail 03:32
The trail I'm taking home is lined with blooming flowers, it crosses smooth and glowing stone washed by gentle mountain showers, it leads me through the unknown teaching me the true power this journey ends before a golden throne shining brighter than a sunflower This light we all have known is a never-ending poem of the life breath endlessly blown unto every seed till we're all full grown Now the harvest comes, the heart has sung it's song throughout the honeycomb And all the children are joined in the light joined the love joined in the one who we all shall become And all the children are joined in the light joined in the love joined in the one who has arisen....

I Am Possibility ©1984 Rev. David Seacord Many years I have spent waiting for my life to come together It seemed the best it ever did was maybe get a little better I'd notice when I'd made 'progress', I'd have more things to take care of, but the things that always slipped away was the presence of your love… your love…. I'd do anything almost, to try and stay on top yet dark waters alway beckoned, and I knew I could not stop… I'd wake up drowning if I rested from my toiling to survive, yet all the time, something was screaming, there must be more to being alive… Everybody said I was 'wonderful', but I knew they could not see the despair and fear and shame living in the heart of me, There was nobody to turn to, no place was really safe, it seemed my wheel of fortune would forever be to wait… to wait…. Peace came like a flower slowly opening to light Like a quiet silent dawning, Love lifted off the wrong and the right, I saw that all around me, all things I'd known of old, had taken on a brightness, so marvelous to behold… A flood of Love washed me, cleansing who I"d been, as the real possibilities of living rose within, I saw we are all family, we're closer then best of friends, We've been in a dreaming, now we are waking up again… I say there is a purpose in the life we life today, to be a constant sharing, giving who we are away, I once was a superstition, I was such a 'real identity', now I know I am nothing, yet I carry every possibility… I'm the possibility of freedom, I'm the possibility of true love, I'm the possibility of the peaceful planet we've all had so many dreams of… I'm the commitment to ending the hunger, I'm the disappearance of all fear, I'm the shelter I'm safe under, I'm the source of all that's clear. I am the brightness shining in the soul of every man I am the courage that answers the impossible with I can For I know the I of Me to be a space so vast yet near, that all that is or was or shall be Exists in me, right now, right here.

Wavering Intention ©1986 Rev. David Seacord A wavering intention took me on a side-trip near forgot where I was going fantasy had a strong grip a wavering intention led me astray in a mental invention made of dreams of yesterday You were a young sun-ripened beauty transfiguration queen your smile was so warm and lovely you'd made many young men dream ain't it so funny how slow we are to learn that the things that we want the most are the very things we must return… and it's it a wonder, when we let it all go… how all the riches of the universe come right to our shadow…. I jumped back on the bandwagon I'd swore of years ago I knew I knew better but I was hooked on your 'hello' oh ain't it so funny how slow we are to learn that the things that we want the most are the very things we must return… and isn't it a wonder, when we let it all go how all the riches of the universe come right to our shadow isn't it a wonder, isn't it a thrill just to be who you are just to be who we are just to be who I am and let the mind be still? oh isn't is a wonder. isn't it a thrill just to be who you are just to be who we are just to be who I am and let the mind, let the mind, let the mind…. be still, be still, be still, be still…..

Spirit Song ©1986 Rev. David Seacord Well you know, and I know that's just ain't no reason there just ain't no rhyme there just ain't no reason why we all can't feel just fine… Well you know, and I know that there just ain't no losing there just ain't not loss there just ain't no losing when the spirit comes across… when the spirit comes across to you you know you do, you know you do when the spirit comes across to you you know you do you do you do… you just feel so happy you just feel so fine you just feel so happy when you realize you're divine...

Savior of the Show ©1978, 1987 Rev. David Seacord The universal fullness is to manifest your tao while the key to living conscious lies in being conscious now and the owners of freedom are they who know that where we plant the seed that's where the tree will grow We're the saviors of the show, we deliver to the Giver our own soul, we're the saviors of this show, we carry the light wherever we go… The Holy Word has been given and repeated throughout time yet the history of this planet is the history of our mind, and the Law has always taught the truth that the highest way to be is to give away your life to life, that's when you're really free, that's when you're really free. We're the saviors of this show, we carry the light wherever we go, we're the saviors of this show we deliver to the Giver our own soul… we deliver to the Giver our own soul… Now if you're clear in your intention you want to get your dharma right live a life of joy, live a life of light you can follow the pathway in be illumined like a diamond and the ecstasy who you'll find will be blowing the blindness from the mind… will be blowing the blindness from the mind…. We're the saviors of this show, we deliver to the Giver our own soul, we're the saviors of this show, we carry the light wherever we go… we carry the light wherever we go… we carry the light wherever we go… we carry the light wherever we go… we carry the light wherever we go…

about

This album was originally self-produced and home-recorded in 1987 on reel-to-reel tape on a Fostex 1/4 inch 8-track machine. For whatever contributive musical value it may have for your life, I am making it available 'as is' (ie, although I've done some minor edits in Logic on this copy made off of the cassette release, this is NOT a remix, as I have not yet accessed an older Fostex 1/4 inch 8 track machine to use to convert the originally separated tracks into fully editable and re-mixable digital tracks). I am hoping you will enjoy it as it is-- until I am able do a full digital reworking of the material.

If you choose to download, please do consider making a small donation for the download, as 1. Bandcamp does charge me for that service after 200/month free, and 2. if you are aware of my larger work with The Love Declaration (see link above for more info) and would like to support that work, making a download donation here (or purchasing a painting or print from me, for that matter) has the same practical effect of supporting the good works I am dedicated to. Therefore, I thank you for finding and then enjoying this music 'from the 1980's'. Peace. David
