The Water Of Life



The beauty of the heart is lasting beauty

The treasure of you and I is a mystery

To me, to me, to me


The Water of Life, that which I taste with you

The Nektar of God, that which I share with you

Your eyes, my eyes, your eyes


Pour me a drink, I won’t need much more

Just one night and a million more

I crave, I crave, you


And so,

I come alive, alive, alive

I melt my life into your love

Mmh


The beauty of the soul is lasting beauty

Us swimming in God is a mystery

To me, to me, to me


The Water of Life, that which I taste with you

The Nektar of God, which I share with you

Your lips, my lips, your lips


Pour me some wine, I won’t need much more

Just one life and a million more

I love, I love, you


And so,

I come alive, alive, alive

I’ll melt my life into your love

mmh

Songs


A guitar, a voice, and a little love—here I found my home in the world.


I grew up listening to Simon And Garfunkel, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, Tracy Chapman, and many other folk legends.


Music teaches me to surrender and flow with life. To let go, let my little soul play, and the song naturally arises in that space. I capture that moment live with minimal production. My wish is for the songs to come alive in you.



Lila Tace


My journey in art started in torment as a fifteen-year-old girl. Life was suffocating me, and I felt small. The world was hostile, and I had no voice. I was cloaked in layers of pain that kept me from experiencing and expressing my soul authentically. Thankfully, music found me.


Songs came to me in dreams, and I jotted them down. I taught myself to play the guitar and slowly broke out of my shell. Arriving at authenticity through art is a spiritual journey. Each art session is a purge—a rewriting of destiny with each sharing of art.


It took me fifteen years to free my little soul from the tar I collected. Today, I freely express myself and feel alive. This, to me, is a miracle as I think back to where it all started.


Today, art is my spiritual discipline, a meditation—A direct experience of my soul aligned with the flow of life. Through art, I experience God. Through art, I surrender layers of my past to discover who I truly am.


I share The Spiritual Path Of Art through my podcast, books, and community. It is my wish that you find your place in the world as an artist!
