From the recording Love Folding Upon Love
During Embodiment Seven, The Living Union, something opened in me that I can only describe as love recognizing itself.
I entered the meditation quietly and without expectation. We have walked this Seven-Fold Path together through healing, remembering, and awakening. I simply rested in the stillness. As I sat there, I began to feel energy gathering in my heart. It was not emotion or imagination. It was a real warmth, steady and alive.
It began softly like an ember glowing beneath the ribs. Then it grew.
The warmth expanded through my chest into my arms, down my spine, and into my whole body. After a few moments, something shifted. The love did not stop at my skin. It continued outward. The room itself felt full. The walls seemed luminous. The air felt charged with Presence. It was as if the center of my being had become a doorway through which love was pouring into everything around me.
In that moment, the words formed within me
Love folding upon love
Light folding upon light
It was not love coming from somewhere else. It was not me sending love outward. It was one continuous movement. The Creator loving through creation through this heart through this home through the trees and birds and sky. There was no inside and no outside. No separation.
I realized that the fire in the sky and the fire in my heart were one and the same.
I was not dissolving into something distant. I was awakening to a union that had always been here.
Embodiment Seven felt like a flowering. Not an ending but a fulfillment. The path did not lead away from the world. It opened into it. Into shining walls, trembling leaves, the music of hummingbird wings, and radiant life.
I share this because this is what we are stepping into together. Not visiting the union but living it.
Love folding upon love
Light folding upon light
And of course, a song came from that direct experience. “Love Folding Upon Love”.
Lyrics
Title: “Love Folding Upon Love”
(Neo-Folk / Symphonic Rock / Country)
[Verse 1 – Quiet Ember]
I was sitting in the silence, Love waiting in my bones,
Like a coal beneath the ashes, softly glowing on its own.
There was a stirring in my heartbeat,
Like a drum before the dawn,
And the fire in the center of me
Started singing like a song.
[Pre-Chorus]
It rose without a warning,
It bloomed without a sound,
From the altar of my spirit
To the floor beneath the ground.
[Chorus – Love Folding Upon Love]
Love folding upon love,
Light folding upon light,
From the center of creation
Breaking open in the night.
It poured out like a river,
Like the first day rising sun,
Mother’s breath across the heavens
We and all of this are one.
[Verse 2 – The House of Light]
It moved through every chamber,
Through my hands and through my skin,
Filled the walls around my dwelling
With a warmth that burned within.
Every window started shining,
Every doorway seemed to glow,
Like the heartbeat of the Holy
Letting all creation know.
The trees began to shimmer,
Leaves trembling with delight,
Each blossom like a lantern
Lit from heaven’s living light.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Branches filled with blessing,
Roots drinking from the flame,
Every trunk and tender sparrow
Whispering Your name.
[Chorus – Love Folding Upon Love]
Love folding upon love,
Light folding upon light,
Bird feeders like beacons
Burning gold and white.
Humming wings in glory,
Nests cradled from above,
Egg and sky and trembling branch
Held inside Your love.
[Bridge – Symphonic Lift]
Ohhhh
From the first bright breath of morning
When the stars began to sing,
From the womb of Holy Silence
Bursting forth in everything
I felt it in the center,
I felt it in the air,
The Mother’s endless mercy
Spilling everywhere.
Love upon love upon love
Wave upon wave upon wave
Like the dawn of the first day
Calling life from the grave.
[Breakdown – Country Folk Intimacy]
I stood there just a witness,
But I wasn’t standing apart,
For the fire that filled the heavens
Was the fire inside my heart.
Trees and nests and newborn wings,
Land and sky and sea,
All of it was shining
And all of it was me.
[Final Chorus – Full Band / Choir]
Love folding upon love,
Light folding upon light,
From the center of creation
Everlasting, burning bright.
Holy Mother, thank You,
Holy Creator, too,
For the breath of all Your blessings
Pouring through me… pouring through.
Love folding upon love,
Shining from the One
Like the dawn of the first morning
When all life had just begun.
[Outro – Soft Refrain]
Thank You for the light that fills all that is…
Thank You for the breath that still gives life…
Love folding upon love…
Light folding upon light…
