Reading Tomorrow
Who is to limit the definition of “Reading”. Within the action of observation, information is able to be gathered for an array of topics. Rarely does the definition of “Reading” mean “Understanding words on paper”.

Songs and Their Stories:
1.) Truths Perspective
The “Truth” is but a concept, what is regarded as “The Truth” is still a subjective experience to the speaker. Generally, is the truth not different per person, or is there an “All Encompassing” truth? With a glance it may be the truth, but blink and it is gone…
2.) Transcribe
The translation of a persons inner world to another is a difficult process. One’s inner world has many layers and dimensions to it, unlike language. See language is a single channel action, a one way flow of information. Mixed together with pitch and tone there may be a certain layer of depth in communication, however, remains a single stream of information. Within the realm of the psyche, images, emotions, and a myriad of other concepts are applied to the stream of words, creating or recreating an experience of one to another. Often times, the experiences get lost in translation.
3.) Dilly-Dally
Hope, well… a new hope is but long overdue. In the midsts of life’s chaos, dare to reach forward and pursue the wonderful dreams of tomorrow…today.
4.) Harmony’s Decision
What can be said, to the chaos a person or people face? What is clear is that peace can be elusive; however, harmony seems practical. To recognize the flower, different from the other plants, doesn’t make the flower any better or worse the the others. That difference is what makes it unique, much like the other plants. Together, with individual uniqueness the collection of plants provide a space, a space for life and beauty to flourish. It is okay to be different, for difference is what makes harmony synchronistic.
5.) Lavender Skylight
Where the light may shine through, through the cracks and fissures a person accumulates in life, may it brighten the shadows and allow them to dance.
6.) Nothing into Magic
The idea that goes along with this, as well as some reflective insight, is that dreams are ephemeral. Meaning they are a rite of passage. What happens in dreams may be reflected in ones life; however, it’s the rite of proving that determines its solidity. Solidity in this context may not mean physical.
7.) Understanding Puzzles
How to be is as important as what to be. How to communicate is equally important as to what to communicate. How to understand is the basis of the human journey. Sometimes the first step, or next step, on this journey is not a step at all, but to sit.
8.) Soul’s Letter
"Ever write a letter? See, one of the aspects of writing is that it solidifies a thought, making permanent something so fleeting. The reason for Esotus is that, internally, there is uncertainty, confusion, and, most importantly, curiosity. This curiosity gave birth to Flowery, the artistic expression of the psychoanalytic technique called Free Association. The other two, uncertainty and confusion, are what the technique aims to rationalize. This song, Soul's Letter, goes out to the ones listening, the ones above and below, and most of all to the ones who are here."
9.) Changes
“Change is evident when the trees change colors, lose a leaf one by one, sprout new green life. Yet, sometimes the changes happening go unnoticed. When the what changes, similar to the tree, it seems obvious; however, when the how changes, the ways of doing this-or-that can be peripheral. Being a person can be hard, and the ways of being a person vary in vast and complex ways. But are these external changes even changes? Unless the how changes, the being of the human changes, will there be any lasting change?”
