During the late summer of 2022, Koda got fired from a job he was really passionate about.

While working for an international Ocean Protection Agency, Parley for the Oceans--

Koda abruptly gets fired for flirting with one of his co-workers during an after-hours event.

Prior to this, Koda had spent a year at the Parley AIR Station, donating his time to spread awareness about Plastic Pollution and Climate Change.

So, the sudden shift was really hard on him.

He had finally found his sense of purpose and belonging only to get stripped away because of his own adolescent behavior.

Koda was surely at a crossroad--

Give up in defeat and relapse into his old destructive patterns,

or..

Surrender into the eb and flow of life.

Spirit gifted him this song to help him navigate through the darkness,

Reminding us all that,

"The wound is the place where the Light enters you."

- Rumi

If you know him at all,

You know that Koda spends much time alone.

He wrote this one in a space of isolation.

Processing difficult emotions of collective neglect and abandonment.

We've abandoned the nature of ourselves,

and the turmoil we face everyday is merely the reflection of this internal neglect.

This is his love song to Nature, the deepest and truest love Koda has ever known.

Oh goodness.

Well,

He wrote this one while being entirely obsessed and in love with a girlfriend that he was deeply attached to.

Naiive and unaware of the basic energetic principles of magnetism,

He surely repelled her.

But--

That experience was transmuted and created into this heavenly song.

So, nothing was really lost.
