I was feeling a little down for the past few days, but this cheered me up. It's a song from The Flaming Pumpkin Collective, based on the vague description I gave them about the Chi Garden. There's something really special about having a song written for you, especially as I have no musical talent and lost what little writing skills I had somewhere during my computer science degree. It's also a great feeling when you aren't able to communicate exactly the idea and feeling that you want, but they manage to get it perfect anyway.

Here's the lyrics, written by the talented Mara-ani heart

The Island of Chi

In that minute just behind your eyes
and just inside your dreaming mind
Is a fancy free, floating mystery
The Island of Chi

Green at the heart of imagining
Bowered and laden with flowers
is the One Great Tree, beginning and end
of minutes that pass into hours

The wind as it fingers the leaves
whispers and sings 'stay forever'
Time drips away as you make your way
through this garden of living treasure

The guardians who watch over Chi
have no need for maps or for plans
they drift in the wind 'til they sense the right time
to set down the anchor and land.

Mojo the monkey and Chisa the Chi
wish for nothing but freedom and flight
and maybe for you to come along too
if you dream when you lay down at night.

In that minute just behind your eyes
and just inside your dreaming mind
Is a fancy free, floating mystery
The Island of Chi

Also bought some art from The Flaming Pumpkin Collective's artist, Ookii, to commemorate my brief stint as a guy:

Lastly! I got a secret santa from Uennie heart

I wonder what's inside? whee
