Jasmine Storey has grown up in Auroville. Her creative expressions are channeled through painting and poetry. FROM WHENCE WE CAME Somewhere within there’s an urge,A calling from the core.A deep seated sound beneath salmon scales,Starts a struggle from the sea, upstream.Lunging, leaping, longingSpears from salt to sweet,Rage against the rushing water,Wriggle from whence they once […]
This was a song that was immensely popular when I was very young. But I never really knew what it was about. The incredibly catchy and memorable chorus had me convinced that it was just another song about partying and having a good time. It was only years later that I heard it all the […]

This is a song that I hold very dear to myself. It touches upon emotions that most listeners have felt. The fear felt when presented with a seemingly insurmountable obstacle, the feeling of brokenness when hope seems lost, and the depression that sets in when we lose faith in ourselves.
