Lyrics!
Words to pay heed to...
And the internal battle goes a little something like this...
​
To see how Love sees
Invites in: brightness, beauty, communication, peace, harmony
To do what fear would do - is it really unclear to which to pay heed to? Listen...
​
And I know how to feel happy
'No, you don't'
I could turn away from fear now
'But you won't'
If you want to follow truth but this voice is so mean
Just look across the sea, and breathe
​
Greed breeds greed
Something you're not giving is what you won't receive
Leave old baggage at the door
Surrounding truth in drama is not what life is for
​
And I know how to feel happy
'No, you don't'
I could turn away from fear now
'But you won't'
If you want to follow truth but this voice is so mean
Just look across the sea, and breathe
​
Think of everyone who's cheering for you
If you alter your perception there's nothing that you can't do, my friend
I know because now I am clear
In choosing love over fear
Under the ancestral willow tree, there in my mind
Everyone is proud of me, I'm compassionate and kind
A synthesis of ideas and intent
As I make the ascent
​
And I feel so very tired now
'You've lived for so long
If you listen to this voice, well, you can't go wrong'
And I've lived so many lives now
'Hold on, you'll see'
In this life I'm finally free
​
'And I've got so much to tell you'
So much to learn
'Happiness it is a practice, a skill to discern
Should you live 100 years, love, you've so much time to illuminate your mind'
​
Anything that is not peaceful is not love
Anything that is not love is not peaceful
Choose your thoughts wisely
How did Lupa in the Blue Lagoon come to be?

What on Earth is Lupa in the Blue Lagoon?
Well, it's not exactly on Earth. Lupa is a mix of the names Lula (my beloved old dog who passed on), Cooper (my current beloved dog), and Luna, as in, the moon. The blue lagoon is a place, a place within a place. Within the Garden of Eden of my mind. A place, a plane, a heavenly plane where all my ancestors, past selves who have been acknowledged and freed, younger selves, dead friends etc reside. I often go there in meditation. I close my eyes in this dimension and open them there, sitting with my back to a tree.
The scene is so clear. There's a stream, many flowers, rich green grass, willow trees, crystal riverbanks. While this song was coming brewing inside, I discovered a hidden lagoon within the garden. And who was hiding there but a past version of me, a teenage version. Oh how she was waiting for me to acknowledge her. This song is the process of me freeing this past version of myself. The conversation you'll read in the choruses are reminiscent of the noise that was in my head when I was younger. Such vile voices saying such vile things. The absolute overwhelming confusion of it all. No surprise I resented this song as it was being made - I just wanted to be done with it. Now it is one of my favourites.
The lagoon still exists but Lupa (teenage me) no longer resides there, at least not all the time. She is free to enjoy the rest of the Garden. Other members of the Garden use the lagoon for playful purposes. The darkness, the heaviness, has been lifted.
