In the July issue of the Flaming Rose Journal,
as the Earth fully turns here into Summer,
we follow the Path of the Sun
westward
to the Sacred Mountain
deep within our own Being.
We reenter a Wholly Sacred World
at the Center of the Universe
walking silently
slowly
humbly
perceiving the Total Beauty
within Everything
cherishing All Life
cherishing All Creation
the Great Divine Emanation
of the Whole Living Spirit



 
 

Sacred Mountain
The Sacred Mountain

This Center of Heaven
This Core of Earth
This Heart of the World
Surrounded by snow
The Source of all rivers
And pure water
Where the mountains are high
And the land is undefiled
Where men and women are born
Sages and heroes
And Life is Sacred and Holy

Poem based on a Tibetan folk song


 

This month we have eleven songs from the album, Return to the Sacred Mountain, by Joe Kirkwood.
Return to the Sacred Mountain, One With Life, In Humble Love, The Whole Living Spirit,
Once Upon A Time, For the Sake of Life, Stand For Life, Sacred and Divine,
One With the Earth, The Seventh Generation, and Where the Spirit Leads.

 
   



Return to the Sacred Mountain

return to the Sacred Mountain
return to the Sun
follow the Path of the Older Ones
up to the high mountain peak

there alone in the Silence
restore Life's Natural Harmony
resolve all life differences
and be at peace
bring peace back into the world
bring peace back into the world

return to the Sacred Mountain
return to the Sun
follow the Path of the Older Ones
up to the high mountain peak

there alone in the Silence
find Life's Truest Meaning
answer all life questions
and be at peace
bring peace back into the world
bring peace back into the world

return to the Sacred Mountain
return to the Sun
follow the Path of the Older Ones
up to the high mountain peak

there alone in the Silence
know life's Total Unity
join all life relations
and be at peace
bring peace back into the world
bring peace back into the world

return to the Sacred Mountain
return to the Sun
follow the Path of the Older Ones
up to the high mountain peak

there alone in the Silence
affirm Life's Divinity
open your Heart to Life's Spirit
and be at peace
bring peace back into the world
bring peace back into the world

follow the older Ones
in the Light of the Sun
follow the Older Ones
to the Source of the Sun

return to the Sacred Mountain
return to the Sacred Mountain
return to the Sacred Mountain
return to the Sacred Mountain

One With Life

follow the flowing River
the pure Living Stream
be and become the Stream
and live at One with Life
live at one with Life

fly up into the Sky
upon the Living Wind

and live at One with Life
live at One with Life

touch another person's Heart
feel the Living Love

and live at One with Life
live at One with Life

speak the Sacred Word
know the Living Truth

and live at One with Life
live at One with Life

encompass the Whole World
enfold the Living Spirit
be and become the Spirit
and live at One with Life
live at One with Life

Once Upon A Time

once upon a time
the Sun was holy and divine
once upon a time
the Stars were providential signs

the World was a Sacred Place
Life was a Gift of Sacred Grace

once upon a time
the Earth was one living being
once upon a time
Everything had purpose and meaning

the World was a Sacred Place
Life was a Gift of Sacred Grace

once upon a time
the Water was a clear flowing spring
once upon a time
the River was an ever flowing stream

the World was a Sacred Place
Life was a Gift of Sacred Grace

once upon a time
the Air was an all encompassing breath
once upon a time
the Wind was total consciousness

the World was a Sacred Place
Life was a Gift of Sacred Grace

once upon a time
the Universe was One Living Whole
once upon a time
the Spirit was One Living Soul

the World was a Sacred Place
Life was a Gift of Sacred Grace

once upon a time
once upon a time
once upon a time
once upon a time

For the Sake of Life

Tree of Life is threatened
by forces of human greed
the whole Earth has become a source of profit
in a world economy

but we must make the world a Sacred Place
we must cherish and save the Tree of Life
for the sake of Life
for the sake of Life

the Tree of Life is suffering
through desecration and abuse
the whole Earth has become just an object
to use and consume

but we must make the world a Sacred Place
we must cherish and save the Tree of Life
for the sake of Life
for the sake of Life

the Tree of Life is crying
for all who will hear
the whole Earth has become a revelation
that a revaluation of Life is near

and we must make the world a Sacred Place
we must cherish and save the Tree of Life
for the sake of Life
for the sake of Life
the Tree of Life is evolving
within the conscious human mind
the whole Earth is related
to the Life of humankind
and to the Spirit Divine

and we must make the world a Sacred Place
we must cherish and save the Tree of Life
for the sake of Life
for the sake of Life
for the sake of Life
for the sake of Life

Stand For Life

we will stand in the light of the Sun
we will stand as the many and the one
we will stand for the sake of life
we will stand for life

the Spirit is rising
the Spirit is rising
in our heart
in our heart

we will stand strong and firm
we will stand upon the green fertile earth
we will stand for the sake of life
we will stand for life

the Spirit is rising
the Spirit is rising
in our heart
in our heart

and we will stand with true meaning and purpose
we will stand with true care and love
we will stand for the sake of life
we will stand for life

the Spirit is rising
the Spirit is rising
in our heart
in our heart

we will stand courageous and free
we will stand in unity and peace
we will stand for the sake of life
we will stand for life

the Spirit is rising
the Spirit is rising
in our heart
in our heart

and we will stand for the sake of life
we will stand for life
we will stand for life
we will stand for life

One With the Earth

let us walk among the mountains
and climb up to the high mountain peak
let us rise into the shining sunlight
upon an eagle's wings

we are the daughter and the son
we bear the children to come
and in our love
we are One with the Earth
we are One with the Earth

let us walk by the river
and follow the clear flowing stream
let us drink the pure holy water
and live in harmony and peace

we are the daughter and the son
we bear the children to come
and in our love

let us walk through the forest
amidst the flowers and the trees
let us perceive life's whole beauty
in every being and every thing

we are the daughter and the son
we bear the children to come
and in our love
we are One with the Earth
we are One with the Earth

let us walk across the burning desert
and touch the source of fire
let us overcome every adversity
and fulfill our life desire

we are the daughter and the son
we bear the children to come
and in our love
we are One with the Earth
we are One with the Earth

let us walk near the ocean shore
beneath the blue infinite sky
let us feel the endless ocean waves
and know the eternity of time

we are the daughter and the son
we bear the children to come
and in our love
we are One with the Earth
we are One with the Earth
One with the Earth
One with the Earth

And if every step you take is a prayer,
Then you will always be walking in a sacred manner.”
