So potent. I find this song every time I travel overseas as a universal reminder all of this planet is our home ❤

Great to see John, an elder of the movement, singing this powerful and meaningful chant. Thanks for uploading and sharing it!

What movement

[@geoffplayoflight]

+BannanaFarmer The movement of deep ecology, towards re-immersing humans into their natural place, as part of a biodiverse ecology, not sitting outside and above it as if we could take as we please, which has been a philosophy and practice that the relatively recent history of technologically developed societies has tended towards.

Here's a little history of a bigger mystery
I have written this story into my song
If it isn't what you're use to
I hope it will amuse you
Maybe if you choose to
then you'll sing along
It goes...
I'm as old as the Universe
I've been here before
and I'll be here again
I'm a child of the universe
I'm a part of all women
and a part of all men
Once upon a sometime
and once upon a somewhere
and once upon a somehow
there was a big bang
Energy evolving
and energy dissolving
Energy revolving
and that's what I am
Just a little notion
A pattern in the potion
One ripple in the ocean
no purpose or plan
Suddenly I found me
inside a little boundary
with water all around me
and my life began
Feel a little cramped in here
Need a bigger atmosphere
Push the cover back
and we're ready to go
up into the sunlight
out into the moonlight
Give appetite a green light
and watch the world grow
I'm a little flower
that blossoms for an hour
but in me there's a power
that grows on and on
Power at the root of me
power in the shoots of me
power in the fruit
that will pass my seed on
I am not a somebody
I am not a no-body
I'm a cell in one body
filling all space
All I ever could be
and all I ever should be
and all I ever will be
is here in the place
