I'd like to invite Las Armando and whoever law is including with them.

Wow, I'll be great to see you and put in your good hands whatever is next.

Hey everybody.

So for me, Solstice often represents, you know, as we go deeper into the darkness and opportunity to actually go inward and discover more of who we are.

But we live in a culture that tends to distract us and pull us away from that.

So this first song kind of helps to remind us how to come back.

Dashing through this life towards some unreal goal, tired, filled with strife, nothing fills our bowl.

Wondering what it's for, this striving to succeed.

Life can be a bore, so this is what you need.

Oh, mindful bells, mindful bells, reminders to be kind.

Remembering to laugh and sing is what to keep in mind.

Mindful bells, mindful bells help us to wake up.

To love ourselves with all our hearts is sometimes a bit tough.

Practicing is hard to sit with all that comes.

Watching without guard, stories and where they're from.

Trusting in my truth, knowing that I'm wise, discerning what is underneath that ego filled disguise.

Oh, mindful bells, mindful bells, reminders to be kind.

Remembering to laugh and sing is what to keep in mind.

Mindful bells, mindful bells help us to wake up.

To love ourselves with all our hearts is sometimes a bit tough.

Thank you. We practiced for like 15 minutes before this.

So, this practice really is about like settling our minds and oftentimes we're fighting all the thoughts that go through them.
