Forest of Dangers and Wonders

Welcome home, love, welcome home
I've been waiting for you for so long
There is space for you to rest yourself
Welcome home, dearest one, welcome home

Welcome home, love, welcome home
You've been away and you felt so alone
With loving hands you can caress yourself
Welcome home, dearest one, welcome home

Chorus:
For you are wanted
And you are needed
You are held, received, and greeted

Welcome home, love, welcome home
Deep within you have always known
With every breath, you can connect to yourself
Welcome home, dearest one, welcome home

Chorus

Welcome home, love, welcome home
In my heart I hold you so close
I behold and bless your precious self
Welcome home, dearest one, welcome home

Chorus

Welcome home, love, welcome home
I've been waiting for you for so long
There is space for you to rest yourself
Welcome home, dearest one, welcome home

Lyrics are from "Widening Circles" from Book of Hours: Love Poems to God by Rainer Maria Rilke

Translated by Joanna Macy


I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
but I give myself to it.

I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I’ve been circling for thousands of years
and I still don’t know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?

A short and sweet violin & viola cover of the beautiful song Spirit Bird by Xavier Rudd

Spirit Bird by Xavier Rudd Violin Cover

This is the body of our Mother
We give thanks for all that she is
She gives her children to nourish one another
And in time, she takes us all back in

So we honor our brothers and sisters
These beings that we prepare to eat
May we be filled now with sacred presence
For each bite is a blessing we receive (x2)

Food Blessing Song

I. I can hold it all (x3) 
All of this love 

II. All the joy and 
All the anguish
I am open to 
All of this love

III. Open my heart 
Let it flow through me
All of this love

I can hold it all

I. I'm gonna let the sweetness of this life pour in like honey
I'm gonna let the sweetness of this life dance on my tongue
I'm gonna let the sweetness of this life pour in like honey
Like fat raspberries in the July sun

II. Melting like butter 
Out in the sun
Fill me with lovin
In the July sun

III. Yum ;) 

Fat Raspberries

I. I'm big, and I'm spreadin out 
Won't let nobody tell me how to be
Cause I'm big, I got greatness in me
And I'm ready to be all I came here to be

II. Only I get to decide how high that I can fly
And when I am aligned, I am my one and (only)

I'm Big

I believe in a new world coming (x2)
Coming, coming closer every day
I believe in a new world coming (x2)
And to this coming world I call, I pray

And it's gonna take all of our faith
It's gonna take courage and grace
There's no telling what we'll have to lose
But I will hold open the space
And radiate a loving embrace
For all my heart knows is coming through

I believe in a new world coming
