Widening
Hi beautiful humans,
Last summer I drafted a song called ‘Widening’ during some of my first experiences with the Work That Reconnects. I have since completed a WTR facilitator training course, which was amazing, and I’m enjoying working with this rich material so much, both internally for myself and with others. And, in late December I headed to the wonderful Burning Rainbow Studio in Victoria to make ‘Widening’ into a shareable reality, with special thanks to cellist Amy Houston. I wanted to share it here, too. I hope you enjoy. Please sing, use and share it.
Lyrics
there is a heart that hears the words
our Mother speaks through sea and birds and crickets in the dusk
and chimes in the rain
there is a heart of Earth and I’m
ready to slow down and take the time
to ground again
ground again
listening, we’re listening
listening
there is a heart that, opened wide,
can hold the whole world’s pain inside and it’s yours
and mine,
there is a heart, don’t be afraid,
go forth along the path your grief has made
through wind and fire,
wind and fire
breathe in, and through
breathe in, and through
there is a song that wants to sing
itself through us, what power it can bring
we are ready
there is a song that reconnects
across all lands and dialects and the superficial
differences we see
now we see
widening, it’s widening
widening
