There Is a Place
video | 6 min — a song about coming home
I wrote this song after a 5-night silent retreat. It speaks of where we meet in the wordless, spacious field of the one heart. Performed here in concert with Amitabhan in Denver, CO, 2011.
“There is a place where all things come to be.
Where everything is known as a mystery.”
— MAJA APOLONIA RODE
Lyrics
There Is a Place
There is a place that you call home.
This is a place you have always known.
This is a place where your heart opens
like a flower in the sun.
This a place of silence and love
where you and I are one.
And if you want to be here,
just know that you are.
And if you want to be free,
just know that you are.
There is a place where all things come to be.
Where everything is known as a mystery.
This is a place where emptiness dances
and silence sings.
This is a place where nothing matters
but the presence of all things.
And if you want to be here,
just know that you are.
And if you want to be loved,
just know what you are.
There is a song life is always singing.
Its melody awaits the joy of your listening.
And if you want to hear it,
just know that you are.
And if you want to sing it,
just know that you are.
And if you want to be it,
just know that you are.
Just know that you are.
Just know that you are.
You are. You are. You are.
