no god in any box...

i have grown up around so much dogma that focused mainly on attempting (and succeeding!) to place god, or the image of god...in a box, a book or limited to a word. throughout my travels, both geographically and spiritually, i have sought to find expressions of god, or the great mystery, in other traditions, religions, ceremonial practices and places of worship... and- what i have found is this...nothing, nothing...can limit the mystery of the divine. how can one limit that which is infinite? these experiences of my life formed the inspiration for the song, "big enough" which is on my newly released album..."from within". below are the lyrics to the song, and if you like, you can go here to listen to it:
myspace

no box
no book
no word
is big enough
no mosque
no church
and no synagogue

so how high can you go?
and how deep is your flow?
and how wide are your dreams, tonight?
and how high can you go?
how deep is your flow?
and how wide are your loving arms tonight?

the moon
the sun
they breathe life to everyone
and the flames of fire
quench my desire
and the stars in the sky
they are bringing me insight
and the waves of water wash me over

so how high can you go?
and how deep is your flow?
and how wide are your dreams, tonight?
and how high can you go?
how deep is your flow?
and how wide are your loving arms tonight?

i am your daughter
i speak the great mother
i live as a woman in humanity
i am your son/sun
and i speak for all the great ones
i live in the center of humanity, yes i do!

so how high can you go?
and how deep is your flow?
and how wide are your dreams, tonight?
and how high can you go?
how deep is your flow?
and how wide are your loving arms tonight?

no box
no book
no word
is big enough
no mosque
no church
and no synagogue

  1. I fell in love with the song when I first heard it on tough love but it was a bit challenging to figure out who sang this song and what it is. I was very pleased to find that you are a blogger because I'm also a blogger and can connect with you via this avenue.

    I can definitely relate to your journey that you've had in questioning the divine, although my conclusion is different than yours. I don't see subscribing to an established faith as limiting the divine as much as I see it as increasing understanding. Nevertheless I still feel like I can relate to this song.

    I'll be giving you a shoutout on my blog (diarysequel.blogspot.com)
