Be Safe, My Love - All Parts

The Dark of the Moon

Wild and Free

This one came through for myself and my retreat participants. Let's surround ourselves in love as we move through the world - like a protective ball of energy. Lets feel it moving through us, in us, as us...

Lyrics:
The energy of love surrounds me
The energy of love moves through me
Guiding my way in all I do and say
Yes the energy of love surrounds me

The Energy of Love Surrounds Me - Heather Houston

A simple round in honor of the sunshine that lifts us up. 

Morning light, wake me
Show me the beauty all around
Midday sun, bathe me
Lift me up from the ground
Evening light, hold me
Take me home, take me home

Morning Light

04 Blessed Rain

Lift me up!

I received this sweet song on the beautiful frosty morning of Dec. 22nd, 2017. I harmonized it on Dec. 21st of 2019. I just love these tight harmonies! It can also be sung as a round. 

Oh holy morn of frosty winter
Dawn of love's returning light 
Speak to me in songs of wonder
Teach my heart to shine so bright

Oh Holy Morn — Heather Houston

This African-American spiritual is a soulful beacon. Sung and shared here by Melanie DeMore, she never teaches harmonies to this. After sharing the melody with a group she simply says "harmonize" and everyone knows just what to do. Enjoy.

I Was Born for This Moment - Debbie Nargi Brown

Love Don't Worry, 
Love Don't Worry, 
Perfect Love Casts out Fear 

inspired by 1 John 4:18 from somewhere deep in my childhood Bible brain ...." There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. "

Caught 2008ish? The melody is one I wrapped myself in to traverse the dark four flights of the mostly abandoned Lemp warehouses in STL to get to my art studio safely.   I was learning by doing, casting a circle, song medicine.  The echoes made everything epic. 

Here I am teaching it to the circle at Village Fire 2014, first ever call-and-response song leading. I burst out crying laughing when they sang the first line back. Total coming home moment.
