Honolulu
Another in the family of chants fueled by the game of "singing about things we never sing about in the fire circle". I decided that the most insanely unlikely topic possible for a fire circle chant would be "banking" (!?!). This song is probably the most challenging chant I have written to date, and at the same time I think it may well have turned out to be the most clever. I was still having LOTS of fun singing the Burn the Lead chant, with all its alchemical metaphors. The original idea for the song started out at as a "third" part for that chant (and the first line still works well for that). But, in the end, the chant became a delightful statement on the value of investing oneself in a practice of some sort....

LYRICS:
it takes gold to make gold
persistence is the payment toward the premium
i invest myself in the currency of commitment
deposit and compound my interest every day
profit is gained by avoiding self inflation
appreciating assets and balancing my reserves
1...2...3...4...
