SAFE PASSAGE i. Jiabai Cluster ii. Luna Moth Dances Toward Flame iii. Spem Reduxit

about

Another devotional drone number in three movements.
Go smoke weed, you've got time.

The jiabai is a constellation known as the Dorado, Jiabai is a romanized spelling of the Chinese word for "white patches attached." This movement is a brief introduction that sets the stage for the journey.

The Luna Moth, named so for it's nocturnal habits, is a creature that has always fascinated me with it's beauty. The old adage "like a moth to the flame" has interested me for years. The moth flies into the flame, destroying itself for curiosity, if I may personify it's confused navigation. Science and Industry make this proverb feel like a destiny of sorts.

Spem Reduxit means "hope restored" in Latin. It is also the provincial motto for New Brunswick which is where I grew up. Returning home always has something of a restorative quality to it for me. It is a time to reflect and approach life with renewed energy. A time that slows down so much that I can traverse the past and future as easily as the present. Jk, but seriously it's good for me, ok?

Peace,
Jeremy

lyrics

ii. Luna Moth Dances Toward Flame
To venture into unknown land
Is to take the whole thing in your hand
We send it out to the farthest reach
ourselves embracing on the beach
Will this all end in an instant?
Will it savour our existence?

iii. Spem Reduxit
I can see the way out!
Who's to say what's on the other side?
One thing is sure, sure to me
Better to seek than it is to hide, hide
Let's steal away to the nebulous void
In this we see the past and what is to come,
In this we see the past and what is to come.
