Name: You Have A Choice
Duration: P00H03M37S
Description: I wrote this after a ceremony in 2013. Hearts were open and music was flowing. People were improvising but I was still too scared to do that with others (now I teach improvising to hundreds throughout the Bay Area). I hid in a side-room and wrote this song to myself as a reminder that in every moment I have a choice to live from my truth or hide from it.

about

I wrote this after a ceremony in 2013. Hearts were open and music was flowing. People were improvising but I was still too scared to do that with others (now I teach improvising to hundreds throughout the Bay Area). I hid in a side-room and wrote this song to myself as a reminder that in every moment I have a choice to live from my truth or hide from it.

lyrics

You have a choice: to be free or to live in captivity.
The walls are in your mind-
Thanks for the reminder!

  Feel your body in the breeze
The sunlight in the trees
Touches everything.

 Whats stopping you
from being a vessel clear and true?
This is not a test
It is up to no one but yourself.
