Geese
Pivoting head to the beating of wings
Compassed collective returning in Spring
Falling to waters that shimmer and sing
To a merging collective, water and wing
Frosted air buffeting streamline formation
But pushing for home makes a feather of task
On to the next body-water station
For home is the merging of water and wing
Knowing the land from a distant perspective
Hues of the earth, for this winged collective
Their passing instills in us deepest of yearnings
For we're jealous of life's merging
Through water and wing

When you've held back for a better deal, only to find you've lost the feeling for life itself, in hanging on too long; worn down the images to a negative of their former selves. As you try to catch old feelings that once lit up your life. Your sense of touch is fading. More pressure needed to feel alive. You hear the world, but don't know what it's (expired link) the fog has brought you here to the stone (expired link) must lie here in its embrace til it passes. All the whispers in your head from your ancestors, are telling you to wait it out; not climb too far, too fast.
How we've allowed ourselves to remain neotonous and undeveloped and use celebrity as a stand in or our lives.

How to be ok with your current circumstance has always been a toughy for me. I'm generally a hyper person, so frustration is always hanging around the borders, i not being felt viscerally. I learned to meditate in my mid twenties and initially stuck to the recommended 2 twenty minute sessions. It was of a great benefit. But unsurprisingly, for me at least, I veered off a bit and had quite a few years of sporadic practice. I've now found myself returning to the practice, as a result of the conditions imposed by Covid. I was, before its arrival, pretty frazzled with effort; trying to succeed at some level with the music. Strange as it may seem (for some at least) I'm thankful that Covid created something of a period of grace. It bought me the psychic space and time that has allowed me to recover some of myself that I'd lost.
So thanks to the circumstances that Covid created and my return to meditation I feel that bit more centred and alive.
I hope, in some way, this proves helpful to others.
Best for now,

We carry our shadow as a psychic burden that finally weighs on everything within us, individually and societally. The nature of our being cannot contain the shadow indefinitely. It is our nature to integrate it through activity and ritual. Meaning is contained in the connection with each other and nature. Anything short of that creates a blockage, allowing the shadow to build.
When we integrate our shadow nothing is wasted. The energies that were needed to contain it are released, and wholeness is realized once more.
For my part, I try to integrate the blockages by creating "conduits" of expression. Valves that regularly open up and excise the burdens of being human.
Ego and humility, at one and the same time, are a constant necessity. The fine line that allows for civilized humanity to connect, express and (who knows) transcend(?)

About Brian C Rice
A long but enjoyable road of learning. Started as a kid with my brother playing Irish traditional music. Moved onto drums as my brother took up the electric guitar and we formed s few bands, one of which was reasonably successful. Fronted by the very talented, Clive Moorhead. We moved to London and took on the band name, The Deceivers. After a number of years we parted amicably. Paul, my brother, and I kept at the music having moved to Edinburgh. My brother wrote the material and I contributed percussion and some vocals. Later Clive and I worked onhis material, signing a few publishing deals and garnering interest in a few of his songs; Rachel Panay. Who recorded a very catchy pop dance track called, Edge Of Love.
Clive and I parted ways and I gtook to writing pop material intended for other artist to perform. Had moderate interest. Amy Diamond earmarked a song as a potential for her Swings And Roundabouts album. The song was dropped finally when the lyrics didn't fit for profile purpose.
I finally began to write material that was more in keeping with my personality and likes when Covid gave me time to reflect. The upshot and results are partially on this site. I do write instrumental stuff, as well, but haven't added these to the site. Not really in keeping with the sound on the page/site. I keep writing (obviously) and have started to introduce some art as an integral part of the songs and projects.
I hope you all keep enjoying the songs. I keep me motivated. Though I'd still do it without the support and acknowledement, your feedback and encouragement is truly appreciated.
