The words for the musical composition Water Tree Heart are these:
I have a tree inside of me
Branching, rooting, flowers
My heart is a river flowing free
Coursing through the hours
Like hearts, like hearts carry the trees inside
Like hearts, like hearts gather as River
River, river flowing
Round the bend, dancing
Growing
The composition Water Tree Heart is part of a much larger project of written and musical pieces infused with water, and it begins with this understanding:
On Earth we are connected to one another and everything on the planet because we are water. River is one expression of this.
River etches dendritic patterns — tree shapes. The most efficient transport in fluid dynamics is the tree shape which is found in the human circulatory system. Human anatomy sings of water. Heart and mind are shaped as tree. Vessels moving these fluid thoughts and imagination are rooted in River.
