"Be With What Is" is the fifth song from my 2022 album project. The album explores a series of topics for personal introspection related to cultivating peace of mind and grabbing hold of genuine agency in a perilous and difficult time. "Be With What Is" is about the act of radical acceptance. Subscribe here to listen to each new song as it's written and released over the next few months.

BE WITH WHAT IS I’ve been pushing This mountain Like I can move it Unbound by the limits of physics Suffering is born from The difference Between what just is And how I wish things would be Well it might be raining I’d rather it be dry But it’s crazy-making To try and fight the sky I think it could save me To be with what is Just be with what is this time All of the badness I can’t get off my mind That shouldn’t have happened You can’t go back in time It eases the anguish To be with what is Just be with what is this time It doesn’t mean giving A thumbs-up To everything that’s fucked up I’m just freeing myself from judgment Cause I have missed so much of Life’s gifts Not being present to what is And that’s one thing I can fix So it might be raining I’d rather it be dry But it’s crazy-making To try and fight the sky I think it could save me To be with what is Just be with what is this time All of the badness That torments my mind It shouldn’t have happened You can’t unravel time It eases the anguish To be with what is Just be with what is this time The mountain Is a mountain So I’ll be I’ll be a river I’ll be the river I’ll be with what is Well it might be raining I’d rather it be dry But it’s crazy-making To try and fight the sky I think it could save me To be with what is Even all of the badness I can’t get off my mind That shouldn’t have happened You can’t go back in time It eases the anguish To be with what is Just be with what is Just be with what is this time
