“Cosmic Concert”

Tupelo and Janey

A composer of celestial music while on Earth, Tupelo continues to create, no matter where he might be now. Music filled his bones, his head and his heart. He played his guitar everywhere he went, so one can imagine him riding the waves of the Universe still playing, still singing and smiling, and still connected through his celestial sounds to us left on Earth. For this, no earthly instrument could make the music he hears, so he fashioned a new guitar. One of loving energy, exuberant sound and magnificent light.

The Quiet Waits Forever

2008

Silence again, like a comfortable friend.

Company that's easy, with just a touch of mystery,

Silence surround, song beyond the sound.

It's the quiet that waits forever, bringing us together.

One at a time, we learn to be one,

One with the two with the multitude of one.

Together alone (together), feels like home,

In the quiet that waits forever, bringing us together.

Quietly we pray . . . got so much to say,

Down on our knees, with our list of pleas.

All around the world, the same complaints are hurled,

At the quiet that waits forever, bringing us together.

One at a time, we notice it still

But we shatter the silence again until

There's nothing left to say, just be that way

While the quiet waits forever, bringing us together.

Beyond the words of our difference, and far beyond the need to be right,

Beyond the sea of sure indifference, is an ocean of peace and quiet.

One at a time, with stillness we fill,

While nothing is nothing, and everything is still.

Together alone (together), feels like home,

In the quiet that waits forever, bringing us together.
