Album Notes

GO TO SLEEP!

Trace the shapes of clouds or reflections upon the water. Submit to infinity. Fall asleep in the beautiful dream of your choice. Now, Lie down on your back and watch the the dark silhouettes of leaves moving against the cerulean sky. There are more leaves than you can count. And this tree is but one in a vast and imaginary forest. But content yourself to this one tree. The tree sways in the breeze...and you don’t speak... and you don’t move a muscle... you hear nothing but the wind and your heart beat... beat...beating. And where else would you go to. Its nice to have roots that grow below you and then up out of the ground enveloping you. You are sleepy. Tell us where you’d like to be. Shhh! You are too weak to speak. These vines that ensnare you and hold you in your place do so for your benefit. Why should you question their benevolence? Haven’t you always imagined there is somewhere else you’d rather be? In your mind you were running through a field with no borders and no horizon to some place where you are needed. But you are not needed now. There is no other place in the Universe except below these gentle branches and above these mighty roots and between these vines that clasp you to the bosom of the earth. You have always fought, now submit to a force greater than you and I. Yes, you are dreaming and I am dreaming too and we are all dreaming right now and we all need sleep desperately. Shhh... or you may wake the others.
