And! - A Song by Be Sidd

And! by Be Sidd sung by Femma Kiton. Video by Syl Sabastian.

Beena's poetry is so most excellent and wonderful. I love it. This one made a most marvellous song so I also made a video for it, which turned out really awesome. Everything came together for a brilliant Moreness song. :D :) <3

Syl’s Quotes

“We have to take a stand against deception, take action against all lying, and together, as a society, using awareness, discernment, and understanding, empower ourselves to call bullshit against bullshit!”

“For me the world is weird because it is stupendous, awesome, mysterious, unfathomable; my interest has been to convince you that you must assume responsibility for being here, in this marvelous world, in this marvelous desert, in this marvelous time. I want to convince you that you must learn to make every act count, since you are going to be here for only a short while, in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it.”
― Carlos Castaneda, Journey to Ixtlan: The Lessons of Don Juan
