If life is a journey of love, loss, and personal progress, and matter cannot be destroyed or created, only transformed, then we came from somewhere before and we’re going somewhere after, whether we know or understand what that looks like or not. This song is a vision of eternal progression, a prayer to be one with the cosmos, to be of highest and best use in this life and beyond.

Carl Sagan said: The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.

Lyrics and music by Summer Brighton when I was Summer Smith. Recorded and arranged by Steve Tanner in Gilbert, Arizona in 1998.

Thank you for visiting OSTARA ORION. May your journey be everything you need it to be.

A love song for Mother Earth and an ode to her bodies of water, large and small. I love being in the ocean, in lakes, in rivers, in pools and bathtubs and hot tubs, just let me float, just let me flow.

This song was recorded and arranged by the extremely talented Steve Tanner, along with two other OSTARA ORION songs: The Journey and Goddess, in 1998.

This was one of the very first songs I recorded. I was 20 years old, dreaming of moving to California for a music career and to work for Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer. Life had other ideas, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Life truly is a journey, and thankfully even after this version of existence, it will just continue on to the next adventure.

"The journey of the hero is about the courage to seek the depths; the image of creative rebirth; the eternal cycle of change within us; the uncanny discovery that the seeker is the mystery which the seeker seeks to know. The hero journey is a symbol that binds two distant ideas: the spiritual quest of the ancients with the modern search for identity… always the one shape-shifting yet marvelously constant story that we find.” -Joseph Campbell
