Explore the ideas at the heart of this episode
In the hush beyond the temple light where the liies drink the dark. You arrive with a crescent in your hair. and a forest in your heart. Paragreen whisper on your hand. Red silk
moving like flame. You sing the hidden names of things and nothing stays the same. Lotuside in the midnight grove. Jasmine breathing at your feet.
Every wound begins to listen when your wild song turns sweet. Queen of the edge of the left out ones of the word that breaks the wall. You make a throne from what we fear and
beauty out of all. Soft as nectar on the tongue, sharp as iron through a lie. You are mercy with a knife of truth. You are a moon fire in the sky.
My tangy, mother of the living sound, peace in the pulse and fire in the ground. Skull cup of stars. Blade of lucid grace. Dark river of wisdom moon upon your face. Sing me tender, sing me
fierce, split the veil and calm the sea. Holy outcast, royal storm. Make a fearless song of me. You walk through ruins without shame,
wearing gun beads and gold. Gathering the broken syllables that frighten mouths won't hold you. Bless the unclean. Lift the cast off. Crown the margins with your arms.
And every buried exiled truth comes beating through the heart. Your laughter bends the clock of fate. Your silence floods the room. You can
make a garden from a grave. It make a sunrise from a tomb. Sweet voice. Cool. Midnight queen. Black flame wrapped in red. You plant a lotus in the mind where lesser gods have fled.
My tanny, mother of the living sound. Peace in the post and fire underground. Skull cup full of stars. Blade a lucid gray dark river of wisdom. Moon upon your face. Sing me tender. Sing me
fierce. Split the veil and calm the sea. Holy outcast royal storm. Make a fearless song of me. When they call me strange,
let me be strange with you. When they call me ruin, make the ruin bloom. When they call me darkness,
let me shine dark to you who turn the refuge into perfume. Teach my mouth the honey and the thunder. Teach my hands the stillness
and the strike. Teach my soul to kneel without surrender. Teach my heart the truth that does not fright. Matangi, mother of the living sound, peace in the post and fire underground.
Parrot of the secret word, queen of midnight grace. Jasmine on the black wind. Stars inside your face. Sing me tender. Sing me fierce. Let me burn. And let me heal. You lotus in the ashes.
Gold within the real the ties. Keep my voice on board. Keep my spirit wild and free. Moon in the skull cup blade in the bloom. Make a fearless song of me.
