Journey Through the Shadows

Song #4 of the Concept Album "Fiercracker"

In another workshop Christopher shares a message about wholeness through a memory of when he was six months old. This catalyzes a trip down memory lane for Professor Chen, a place filled with childhood memories both joyful and haunting. Here, Emily’s young self encountered the shadow of death, a brush with mortality that left her with lingering questions. Now, as an adult, she bravely revisits these shadows to search for answers.

Through meditation, yoga, and art, she reawakens parts of herself she’d buried, drawing on these experiences to craft a sense of wholeness. Her journey into the shadows becomes a rite of healing, leading her closer to inner peace.

/JOURNEY THROUGH THE SHADOWS

[Verse]

By Culver's Lake, a memory born 

Young child’s psyche, a circle formed

At two years old, death came so near 

Spirit and matter, the line unclear

[Chorus]

Christopher's journey, a spiritual arc 

Through the light and into the dark         

Each step a lesson, each breath a prayer 

Seeking wholeness everywhere

[Verse]

A murmured heart slowed his pace 

Yoga and art filled that space 

At seventeen, Kundalini rise 

Awakening the eternal sky

[Chorus]

Christopher's journey, a spiritual arc 

Through the light and into the dark         

Each step a lesson, each breath a prayer 

Seeking wholeness everywhere

[Verse]

Wind Chant's music led the way 

To Colorado, where he would finally stay 

Naropa and Montessori, became a student

Trading ascension for embodiment

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]

Love's lessons came in twos 

Andrea, then Sara, different hues 

Two bouts with COVID, insights fertile

Inner shapes and his soul kernel

[Chorus]

Christopher's journey, a spiritual arc 

Through the light and into the dark         

Each step a lesson, each breath a prayer 

Finding wholeness everywhere

[Verse]

Enneagram's faces of the divine 

Herms lubricating life design

A contingent aligning with the core

This would be his final score

[Chorus]

Christopher's journey, a spiritual arc 

Through the light and into the  dark         

Each step a lesson, each breath a prayer 

Finding wholeness everywhere
