"A little ache became a lifetime,

a pause became a threat,"

"I felt the body lean toward danger,

toward guilt, toward being wrong,

then one small fact undid the whole thing:

the story wasn’t strong."

"I’ll come back to the simple fact:

what’s here is here, and that is free."

There is something quietly liberating about the way this song returns again and again to what is simply here. The contrast between the weather of thought and the simplicity of direct experience gives the lyrics a calm, lasting resonance. Thank you for sharing.
