Dear Creative Ones—
This lunation’s sonic prayer is a new song-in-process that’s coming through for the next OJBECT AS SUBJECT record. It wants. It wants. It wants. Lyrics and drums and possibly a quicker tempo. Likely more things still that I don’t get to see or hear or know today. It’s another crumb on the trail leading me into a whole new forest—the 4th song making itself known for the very particular and special container that is OAS. They all speak a clear lineage connecting the chapters to one another, yet I am finding this chapter distinctly different and new yet again.
I went back and forth about whether or not to share it now—it’s much more like a rough unfinished demo of itself than I usually bring to this offering. I felt the excitement meets fear-based pull to rush it, to try and throw some lyrics at it, to fabricate it into something more developed than it is. It takes time for me to learn to sing my own songs, to embody them, especially as they are still in the phase of becoming. But the message was clear. On this full moon eclipse, the rawness, the not knowing, the honoring of reality and where things are, the dreaming, the patience, the vulnerability, the not rushing, the laying of the foundation brick by brick, the letting it be enough as it is today—these are the ritual. They are the offering.
This is a prayer for all that’s asking to emerge and be lovingly built, shaped, carved into existence. May we trust our body’s knowing and the words that have yet to come.
To your creative fire!
Paris
