Desert Rituvls (2020)
This performance we recorded in downtown El Paso at the historic San Carlos building for the Vero Rocks Livestream in support of Veronica Carbajal for mayor. Special thanks to Chuck Fidel for jumping in on bass.

We're runnin' runnin' runnin'
We're running
We're running
running
NOW
-
In the desert
we do what it takes
to survive (check it!)
First.
There was the fox
And then
So much more
As brother bear, beckons breath
blows the conch
Creates the blues
And blessings of creation.
Ay permisso.
Let us through
To thrive.
In the desert
you can hear
The sounds of
existence -
breathing
in and out toward persistence
We're
living to be living
And living before living
but
DEATH
wears the mask of the living.
WE
ARE
Society
transcendent in
incandescent light and dust
as
Dead stars
Ignite to incite
our unique verse
of the Universe
Let us
Elevate!
to reveal
axiomatic truths:
If we must die, we must die
but not until we have
LIVED!
Mira
El Sol.
Mira
La Luna.
Body of Light and yearning
return from the ether
of timelessness
Plant your roots
and plant them home
Plant your roots
and let them grow
Plant your roots
and make it home
Plat your roots
and make it grow!
It is hidden in the
lonely nopalito
that grows in the desert
You are not alone
- you are only the beginning
Sprout seeds of
Mandala Meanderings
Persist, little flower.
Resist, little flower!
The dance
of life and death
Reveals itself to those
who stand
triumphant
under the glow of a hungry moon.
These are our
residual
spiritual
individual
rituals
In tune with the collective
These are our
Sacred desert visions.
