Song to the Sun Being – By Kate & Owen

A note on the lyrics from Owen:

“They are part of the continual love song between formlessness and form, a world where all things are as valuable as the whole: where duality and non-duality affirm each other; where nature, human and divine are as brethren waterdrops in the vast creative wave that lifts the universe.

I’m expressing what I see as the Artist’s spirituality, where beauty is the active power, with no fixed ideas. Where all of us are working together, supporting each other in the daily renewal of what life can be. Where we are each explorers and creatives through life’s constant reinvention, erasing the worn and making ever more intricate expressions of beauty. You and I, nature and the universe: all of us playing alike at different magnitudes. The cosmos as a child at play: where you are free to make your own meaning from what you encounter. No goals to fulfil, except what you set yourself in response to what you find. 

That’s a very natural spirituality — of equality, creativity and freedom — upon which you may layer other experiences and worldviews, but they all finally return back into this: the cosmos is play, is beauty, and it’s your turn right now. What will you make happen?

This has been a core feeling all my life. The times I forget it are just reminders how self-evident it is. It always comes back! 🙂

So it’s to celebrate and encourage the creative spark in everything (and to remind the listener to stay close to the nature & body-wisdom from whence it comes). There’s no other teaching or message. It’s an intrinsic body truth that many of us feel throughout our lives. Since we can forget it, and reminders can help us, I offer this song, like all my songs, to help relight that part of you that already knows you are a free, creative being, in charge of your life, and supported by a universe that obviously loves reinvention, and makes it happen through you.

Some spiritualities may come close to this, but they invariably invite in extra beliefs, of fixed methods, identities, rituals and an overarching narrative of struggle and stuckness (a fixed goal to reach, a fixed state to escape from, and therefore, a fixed identity trying to un-fix itself). That’s not what this song is about.

My songs & lyrics are for the freedom in you. That’s the seed I love to water in myself and others through playing – because play refreshes all, by being the essence of life.”

Dedication from Kate to Owen

I’d also like to share a dedication to Owen for all he does in the background hence our video collaboration. We do very much operate as a creative team! In many ways, he is part of the Sun Beings team in energy, through who he is and what he offers. It was the Sun Beings platform that brought us together and our lives radically changed since then. Delving, with our hearts open, into each moment and where we are called to on Earth.

He answers to nature with both a softness and tenacity. Breaking through any distortions so we can live closer to what is in alignment and a better future for the planet. His ability to truly hear, whether musically, to words, or energies has amplified my own sensitivity to really hear. His strong intelligence both in the head and heart is admirable. How he is gravitated to what is real and sees through the superficial. How he can stir and awaken one to step into their innate power. His gift of foresight and vision means he can foresee outcomes with such precision, yet simultaenouesly is at home with the mystery and unpredictableness of life.

His musical gifts and ways of connecting with people have opened up places and opportunities for us. When our shared dreams came together our universe became bigger. Our shared eye for beauty inspires each other in our different creative fields. His ability to love deeply and being open to receiving love is something the world needs more of. We have our challenges to work through but with trust, honesty, commitment and willingness to work through our blockages, our relationship deepens, getting closer to the core of our love that is always there, and we grow with one another. Living our lives as a team, receiving his support, has added life and colour to my work for Sun Beings. So a big thank you to him!

Not fearing real life and love frees us.

Lyrics

Song to new divinity,
from a jewel in misty seas,
from nature with no message but the seasons,

To the nameless, formless
love,
reflecting everything;
The eye before the I,
that truly sees

Her mantle incandescent,
journeying afar,
that teaches all the valleys
to resound as what they are;

She who lifts the meadow,
mills our certainty to sand,
weightless on time’s waters
– Dreaming –
with our dreaming in her hand
She holds a flame:
Take it Now, she says,
And calls your name:

“I sing of you. You seek the Real
to know it True, to birth the New
with all the notes of You, and clear the haze
of darkened days — and still
you never slave; never copy,
never cave into convenience
nor fear — so I call you Star,
for never settling for the near
yet staying true to what is right,
right here

& For the light of your integrity,
the blaze of all your Dream,
Given to humanity,
— you are a Sun Being.

So let the sorrows pass as easy as the weather;
You do well in trial & error, for such
is how explorers touch the bright
of their own blaze:
Leaving formula and praise to follow nature,
Earth will uphold you.

Keep within her range,
With the anchor of your breath,
Mirroring her changing visions
of how each day can be:
your aliveness is your river
through eternity;

To let go all perfection,
so it’s perfect what remains;
To loosen from ideas
like loosening from chains
your divinity;

For in that silent dark beyond belief,
where nothing seems,
Comes a morning:
A drop of every colour
to the fluid stream of sky,
a morning
from the mouth of birds.

You likewise steer a sunrise
from your song,
Dawn of Love,
You will arise in your own sky.
You are Alive —
And all your former selves
will fade into this knowing
like stars into the day,
As you Revive.
