The Mythic Intro (Worker of Pathways)

Some creations come from effort.

Others come from alignment.

This one came through a doorway of color, sound, motion, breath, and asked to be witnessed.

HOLY BURDENS — TRUTH IS GRACE is a frequency piece, a trance song carried by ocean light, long black hair, and a small bird who insisted on being included.

The world turns, time moves forward, until someone reverses time and space, I carry a light with Sweetie bird by my side continuing to move forward.

It belongs here first, in this archive.

HOLY BURDENS

TRUTH IS GRACE

Oh…

Oh…

Don’t take the patience,

don’t take the peace.

Something in the silence

keeps rising out of me.

No need to feature,

no need to find

this gentle warning

keeps the truth aligned.

We are holy burdens,

we are friends.

We are broken pieces

that never end.

I don’t wanna be the one,

I don’t wanna be good.

Something shifts inside me

more than anyone understood.

No need to prove,

no need to see

the hidden stages

shape what we believe.

Guide me to center,

guide me to whole.

A bearer of distance,

a keeper of soul.

Mm… mm… mm…

Oh… mm…

Don’t talk of safety,

don’t talk of blame.

They are the ones

who fear what we became.

We are holy burdens,

we are friends.

I don’t aim to hurt,

I don’t think twice.

I’m just a heartbeat

beneath the stride.

Mm… mm… mm…

No need to soften,

no need to touch.

The thought inside us

is more than enough.

I feel the border,

I feel the gold.

I don’t need to worship,

I don’t need to hold.

Don’t think of pressure,

don’t think of fear.

Just breathe a moment

don’t disappear.

You were born tonight,

I’m born tonight.

The rhythm in my chest

is turning into light.

We are holy burdens,

we are friends.

I don’t break,

I don’t bend.

Not the way

the greys pretend.

Don’t say my name

like I’m the same

I’m not delicious,

I’m not your claim.

No need to grieve,

no need to turn.

The fire inside

already learned.

No need for pressure,

no need to flee.

The open ocean

is already me.

Mm… mm…

Oh… mm…

Don’t take the patience,

don’t take the peace.

Too late to find

what woke in me.

No need to picture,

no need to face

the truth inside

is its own grace.

Mm… mm…

Oh… mm…
