about

Wunjo ("wun-yo") is the rune of joy, the kind of joy that is found in the little moments, the big moments, and all the cracks and surprises in between. It is especially about the joy of shared community and finding bliss in the NOW.

lyrics

Kickin' and screamin' ain't no way to live
Gotta learn to forget, gotta learn to forgive
Moving along, letting go of the past
Smelling the roses, 'cause they don't last
Reduce and recycle, give stuff away
Wake up each morning ready to play

I want to tell you this
I found my bliss
I found it high in the mountains
And deep in the sea
And in the arms of a loved one surrounding me

Weighed down with worry is not really wise
Sometimes the joy is right there in disguise
If you open your eyes and look in the cracks
You'll find all the Multiverse giving back
So don't be afraid and just let yourself go
It's the most wonderful feeling you'll ever know

I want to tell you this
I found my bliss
I found it down by the seashore
And up in the trees
And in the eyes of a child making faces at me

All things in balance, then we have enough
To share with our neighbors when things get tough
Some hugs and some healing and maybe a song
We'll toast 'round the campfire when evenings get long
Find the beauty in humans, love with no strings
With whomever you choose - it's not about rings

I want to tell you this
I found my bliss
In the stillness of moonlight
And the buzzing of bees
Down by the seashore
And up in the trees
High in the mountains
And deep in the sea
And in the arms of my family surrounding me
