about

This recording is a cover of Ornette Coleman's beautiful composition, named for pioneering artist, visionary and scientist Kathelin Gray.

Ms. Gray is a founder and director of the Institute of Ecotechnics, the October Gallery, and the Theater of All Possibilities.

I wrote lyrics inspired by her public speaking, and by her work as a developer of the Research Vessel Heraclitus, and as a director and researcher for the Biosphere 2.

-Ray

lyrics

LYRICS:

In the deep of night we are here
and there's danger out --
magic if
we aim for the farthest shore.

She came to us,
She built herself.

Floating open free on the wild world:
270,000 leagues all for the wind
and weather,
and water.

Every day sparkled sunlight singing
on the stage of the theater of all possibility.

Follow in the wisdom,
learning how to make,
carry on the faith in a
circle where we achieve a child at play
years are crossing stars on a stage...

Heavenly closing over a changing sea.

Give my things away
Kathelin Gray
Arizona heat
Here to stay
Two years in terraria.

And we as a society wear the red suit of biospherians.

Between the jungle and desert peaks there is
a tiny ocean / savanna
(thousand creatures together singing!)

Universe abide
Universe outside and its widening...

Hold it in inside
Hold it in your mind

Celebration sun
writ across the brazen sky
of a magic bottle goodbye

Quiet the stars are
Quiet the long goodbye
