Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song after having an epiphany in yoga class. I was sitting in seated meditation, and the more I quieted my mind, the more the universe opened up to me. As soon as I tried to "know" it, you know, tried to "have" it, it would disappear, and I wouldn't even know what it was I experienced.
Song Description
This song is about the elusiveness of being still and present. How you can sit and not think and all of sudden brilliant things arrive in your mind and as soon as you seize them, they slip through your fingers.

Lyrics
There is a wisdom
that exists
Sometimes
I have a part of it
I have
Moments of knowing
Something
I don't know
How it goes away. I know it
For a little while. Listen for it
A little while. Because I think
For a little while
I have it all figured out
And stop thinking.
