THE PAINTER AND THE SONG
Off to the side of the stage, the bare form of the Lion emerged from the canvas, black and white strokes of of paint, some splashes of deep emerald green, blood red, a streak of magenta, a line of sun bright yellow.
As the music rose and fell, like waves running to shore, scouring the rocks and stones, like the wings of wind gusting through the forest tugging hard at leaf and bough, life slowly filled the Lion. He began to breathe. Soaring through the minds and hearts of the people gathered, the music whirled through the room, swirling his mane as it grew full and thick, shimmering with every color broken from the Light. The Lion opened his eyes, golden green pools gazing out at the crowd.
The music climbed to the stars pulling the singers and the dancers and the listeners in its wake. At the very pinnacle, with one last mighty explosion of sound and Light the Lion roared. In silence we plummeted gently back to ourselves, the music echoing in the cells of everything it had touched, weaving us together with Love and Light. We heard in the deepest parts of ourselves, we are One.
We rise to our feet with shouts and tears and laughter; the applause is thunderous. The Lion looks wisely down upon us, willing us to rise to the call to carry this Light, to sing this song, to remember every time we look into the faces of Others, whether friend or foe, we are One. He wills us to rise to the call to bury our fearful judgments and our terrified hate along with our swords. We are One.
We are One.
The song, One by Adam Sippola from his new CD, Rising Point can be heard on his website, http://adamsippola.com/music (In fact, the entire CD can be heard there…)
