about

Do Not Fear God
Do Not Worry About Death
What Is Good Is Easy To Attain
What's Terrible Is Easy To Endure

lyrics

I
winter comes air turns to ice
look at the trees listen to the city breathe

[we see that this one has a strong tendency to lose the sense
of self within what this one knows to be entertainment]

II
from the earth I rise dirt beneath my nails
I will have a worthy death I fear not the end

wax tallow pitch resin

I do not recall what I was before
in this realm did I exist will I live again

so stay with me
worry not when death domes
all will cease to be
anxiety

III
insight realism adaptability passion
the four part cure
I breathe I have shelter
I drink I have water
I breathe

IIII
west autumn
and the limits of both

the terrible things are easy to endure
the good in life easily attained
do not fear god
do not worry about death

fire in the west

keeping in mind things like
the cardinal directions
and the natural symmetry the sacred geometry
of your environment
and your relationships

fire in the west

(west and autumn)
I can't believe all the things that I've seen
all the lives that I've touched
and the dreams I've achieved
with my feet on the earth
and the wind to my back
the water rolls up in my eyes
(like fire just like fire)

fire in the west
