My first song – Being The Dreamer

Hi Family!

Thanks so much to Geo for setting up this beautiful thread where we can share our creative blossomings.

I’ve just released a song with the blossoms. You can listen to it here – https://benbenji.bandcamp.com/track/being-the-dreamer

t’s about blossoming and opening to love. Being The Dreamer grew from the the shock when lock down began and there was a sense that no one knew what on Earth was going on, and it felt to me that there was no option but to let go and trust and see what happens. It was an amazing Spring and there was a feeling like the whole world was changing, and we had space and time to be with our families and go within, face the music, and evolve. The opening lines of the song are inspired by the Hopi Elders’ Prophecy, “We are the Ones We’ve Been Waiting For.” This is it!

You have been telling people that this is the Eleventh Hour, now you must go back and tell the people that this is the Hour. And there are things to be considered…

Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?

Know your garden.
It is time to speak your truth.
Create your community.
Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for your leader.

Then he clasped his hands together, smiled, and said, “This could be a good time! There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water.

And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey come to a halt.

The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word ’struggle’ from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
