💛 Love Awakened Me ✨ 🌊 | A Soul Awakening Song of Divine Love & Inner Light

Inspired by Matthew Arnold's timeless poem Self-Dependence, this song is a contemplative journey from seeking outside ourselves to discovering the Divine Light that has always lived within. It's a contemplative journey from searching to remembering—from the restless personality self to the radiant Divine Self within. Like the stars that never question whether they should shine and the sea that faithfully follows its tide, this song invites us to lay down the masks, the stories, and the need for approval. As the veils fall away, we discover that the Light we were seeking has always lived within us. May this song be a reminder that you are not here to become someone else—you are here to remember who you truly are. Self Dependence Weary of myself, and sick of asking What I am, and what I ought to be, At this vessel's prow I stand, which bears me Forwards, forwards, o'er the starlit sea. And a look of passionate desire O'er the sea and to the stars I send: "Ye who from my childhood up have calm'd me, Calm me, ah, compose me to the end! "Ah, once more," I cried, "ye stars, ye waters, On my heart your mighty charm renew; Still, still let me, as I gaze upon you, Feel my soul becoming vast like you!" From the intense, clear, star-sown vault of heaven, Over the lit sea's unquiet way, In the rustling night-air came the answer: "Wouldst thou be as these are? Live as they. "Unaffrighted by the silence round them, Undistracted by the sights they see, These demand not that the things without them Yield them love, amusement, sympathy. "And with joy the stars perform their shining, And the sea its long moon-silver'd roll; For self-poised they live, nor pine with noting All the fever of some differing soul. "Bounded by themselves, and unregardful In what state God's other works may be, In their own tasks all their powers pouring, These attain the mighty life you see." O air-born voice! long since, severely clear, A cry like thine in mine own heart I hear: "Resolve to be thyself; and know that he, Who finds himself, loses his misery!" -Matthew Arnold
