World's first stand-alone spoken word on iTunes

The Sopolyrimu (songs, poems and lyrics for music) are inspired by the fragility of the human predicament, the struggle to maintain a meaningful integrity and lightness of spirit, the exquisite fineness of being alive, and the visions of the world (inner and outer) one is obliged to look at or be affected by.

Equally, the sopolyrimu arise from the search for love, the experience of love and the loss of love.

They are written to celebrate the joys and ugliness of the never ending stream of life in which we move, sometimes at a total loss, sometimes close to bliss, but always feeling something, if we allow ourselves to feel and ask questions of our feelings, and feel grateful. In this sense they are all love’s songs, to love with love from love.
 

"The most imaginative and meaningful writing I have come across in many, many years" Peter Scott

"...imbued with a tranquil and peaceful certainty..."  Todd Heller, The Black Veils

"They have a special quality for me...revealing many oft unspoken truths.  They are full of life, beautiful, clear, honest and valuable, and they often touch me profoundly."

Sopolyrimu
(Songs, Poems & Lyrics for Music)
CD 1, Circles Never Closed

The first of the sopolyrimu in this Volume is called "Circles Never Closed". Given the pattern of life, repetition is inevitable. There’s always another chance, until all the cards have been played.

Each time, the intention, the content of the intention builds or diminishes momentum, and content accumulates through repetition, for better and worse, adding a dash or a dose of sugar or salt, acid or salve. It all adds up.

CD 2, Begun is Done

Begun is done. Consciousness is everything, in the end, at the start. One says, “I did not realise.” One does not want to say, “I did not realise my self.” In that spirit, begun is done. May you be blessed by the self you realise.

The most frequent comment about these sopolyrimu is that they are exquisitely beautiful, curiously healing, powerful, potent and pertinent, and demand and reward full attention.

(Songs, Poems & Lyrics for Music)
CD 3, Love's Victory or just Desserts

The tracks on this CD are taken from Songs along the pipeline, the fourth Volume of 'sopolyrimu'.  Eleven of the thirteen tracks are supported by music.  The sopolyrimu again continue the search for love, the experience of love and the loss of love.  As they are not love songs in the romantic sense, they are more aptly called ‘Love’s songs’.

Love includes the power of Creation by which we are loved whether we are aware of that or not:  we are provided with everything we need to sustain us and merely have to at least try to nurture each other rather than simply pursue our self-interest in squeezing out of Creation whatever might be most in our self-interests.
