TRANCE/missions

i can't remember what, day it is
there's a little vibration
next to my heart.

it is a heart-ache
maybe a case of love.
a heart attack of some sort...today.

cycling through
cycling through

each and every day
someone, is born.
and each, and everyday
someone leaves...too soon.

my soul is screaming out loud
what should i do?
is your screaming too?
what should we do?

feel, whatever it is you need to feel.
feel, whatever you need to feel.

feel the smile of the sun again,
on your face.
enjoy the heat of a tear drop
as it trickles down your face.

heart ache love ache,
it's the same.
catch the waves
and come back home
just come back home

there's a little vibration
next to my heart.
not next to my heart,
but coming from my heart

cycle through the feels,
and come back home.
cycle through...
and come back home.

feel whatever you need
and come back home.
catch the waves
and come back home

aaaaaaaaah
just come back home
come back home

“THERE’S A LITTLE VIBRATION, COMING FROM MY HEART”

In 2016, in the early hours just beyond my birthday, I lost a good friend. The kind of friend who felt more like a sister. The kind of friend I figured would be around into our twilight years. The kind of friend who shook me up because she was radically honest with herself, as I was learning how to be with myself. Even though I was in my late 30s, her transition was the first time I truly mourned someone I had lost. In that moment, I experienced what it meant to be a light for others who had lost theirs.

In the next few years I witnessed two friends, mothers of teens, lose their first borns to cancer. And collectively, since 2020, we’ve all experienced deeper connections with grief.

Needless to say, grief is real, and we all need gentle reminders to “Come Back Home.” This TRANCE/mission was humbly inspired by these experiences, and the deep wisdom found in death-rebirth-release cycles.
