When I have everything You have nothing To fear When Ive got nothing You have everything To Give imagine for a moment, gazing at the painting of venus de milo and knowing it was painted to honor your beauty. or reading a stanza from an e.e. cummings poem and knowing you were the muse. a few weeks ago, my spiritual brother and precious friend, Bryan revealed a song he composed in honor of my and my husband Nathan’s epic love story. bryan, in addition to being an executive coach, successful businessman, visionary, and husband extraordinaire, is a musician and artist of rare proportions. he writes music inspired by love stories and strives to capture the essence of the unique expression of love in the notes. he shared that trying to art our love story took him 4.5 years and stretched him as an artist like taffy. your commitment to fearlessly following your desires, while neither of you losing and both of you winning,” he told me, “was tricky to capture. four and a half years of tricky.” but he did. these images are of me and nathan dancing to the song, on the night it was first revealed. this is the song is titled Everything to Give: https://soundcloud/nimitae/burning-man-2014-camp-mystic-wednesday-night-set (listen - and perhaps weep, as i’ve done in all of the 300+ times i’ve listened.) and these are the lyrics: Ask me for eternity Still I see its end Is it cruel to follow each and every little desire At least we can pretend Ask me for eternity Anything you can name Together we will follow each and every little desire Without a hint of shame If love is just a compromise Than I will play my part (but) Before us lie our Wild Dreams Woven into art Woven into art When you have everything Ive got nothing To fear When youve got nothing I have everything To Give thank you for how you art yourself, brother, Bryan Franklin.
