âSeek the wisdom that will untie your knot. Seek the path that demands your whole being.â -Rumi
At Lionâs Gate is an original piano composition that came to me over the space of the last few days.
It is a song about decisions, and getting clear on the things you want in your life, as well as what you do not.
Too often Iâve found myself feeling trapped between two decision points, afraid of the risks associated with the unknown in what I want being compared to the safety of what I have now.
I have found I no longer want to settle for safe choices.
This song is a reminder to me that life is a collection of experiences and while we truly donât own anything, the reverse is also true: nobody owns us. It is an invitation to embrace the unknown and all of its uncomfortable uncertainty.

Lionâs Gate
888
Come what may
At where Iâll stay
Who are we
To choose the way
But it is our choice
How we react
What we voice
Believe as fact
Wrong and right
Ideas, plight
Stories they sell
Who they tell
And who is who
To be more true
Than what is deep
Flowing through you
You only know
What your future holds
Because you choose
With your voice to tell
What youâll gain
And what youâll lose
As feelings flow
A voice resides
That says donât go
Not just yet
Youâve more to know
Let things play out
And donât yet fold
It will all make sense
Even if you donât
Know how yet
But thoughts resent
What mind wants to hear
When feelings draw near
The truth appears
And our hearts connect
Through feeling sent
From me to you
And back again
As I make space
for truth to blaze
I hold light high and gaze
Asking myself
Whatâs ready to send away
From my awareness
Away from my caring
Anxious attachment
Not doing, not daring
I choose to release at this time:
Wanting and desiring
What is not mine
Energetically
What is not meant for me
But not what gets said
In anotherâs story
A fixation on distance
And end goal within this
A state of âIâll be happy whenâ
I can get to there-in
That state of waiting
When Iâm already creating
Breathing out, breathing in
Letting feelings come in
Worrying about growing
Its not very flowing
Letting things happen
And how I react when
Is the best way to share
The feelings
I care
Prompting fate with vibration
From the feelings I share in
And I shall let go
Of those outcomes that show
That somehow, Iâm ahead
Of where I need to be
Because where that is
Is right here
Right now
Within me
