Earth's Remission

Earth's Healing

Earth's Forgiveness

 
A world overcome by grief, anger and despair; Where hatred lies dormant to be ignited in an instant. The earth is weary and broken, blackened from years of war and pain. Those who remain pray for guidance and hope for a brighter tomorrow; and yet day never broke the endless night. A young girl stood atop a hill, her heart heavy with sorrow as she took in the ghastly vision before her. "This is what our kind has wrought upon the world..." Looking up at a dark sky, her tears fell into the soil. She felt a warmth within her begin to grow, filling every fiber of her being. Calm, yet faint voices began to speak to her. ''Child... Go now. Bring your light to the world in darkness. Hear our words and release them! Bring back the joy, the love. Banish the hate and the fear. Hear us, child. We are with you.'' The girl clutched her heart as she was overcome with emotion, she raised her head to the sky and filled the air with her voice. Light began to emanate from her body as she let out her Ancient Cry; carrying the song of her people, long forgotten. The world around her began to change as she strode along, life growing with each of her footsteps. The girl walked to the end of her days, and now, the people continue to hear her Ancient Cry with each gale of wind, hear her passion in the trees, feel her love in the waters. The girl may be forgotten by some , but her song shall prevail throughout the ages to come, even in the darkest of times.

Ancient Cry

The Romania bear parade, also known as the Dancing Bears Festival, is a traditional winter festival held in the northeastern Moldova region, with the finale in Comanesti on December 30th. 

Hundreds of people in elaborate bearskin costumes dance to drums through villages and towns to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck for the New Year. 

Enjoy Elena’s version.

Lyrics: 

Over hills where snow is deep,
Villagers wake from their sleep,
Drums are calling, voices cheer,
“Ursul vine-n sat, e iar iarnă, iată-l, iar!”
(“The bear comes to the village, winter’s here again!”)

Children laugh, and grandmothers pray,
“Drive the spirits of the old year away,”
Fur and bells, they march in line,
Through the frost, their eyes still shine.

(Chorus)
Hei, hei, ursule, dance around the fire,
Beat the drum, lift our spirits higher,
Shake the ground, let the cold winds flee,
New year comes with your melody.
Hei, hei, ursule, heart so wild and free,
Roar for luck and harmony,
Hei, hei, ursule, sing your prayer,
Bring us peace in the frozen air.

(Verse 2)
Old men hum the ancient tune,
Underneath the silver moon,
Bear hides glisten, red tassels fly,
Snowflakes whirl as the spirits cry.

In every stomp, the old year breaks,
New hope rises, the earth awakes,
From Moldavia to Vrancea plain,
The bear’s roar calls life again.

(Chorus)
Hei, hei, ursule, dance around the fire,
Beat the drum, lift our spirits higher,
Shake the ground, let the cold winds flee,
New year comes with your melody.
Hei, hei, ursule, heart so wild and free,
Roar for luck and harmony,
Hei, hei, ursule, sing your prayer,
Bring us peace in the frozen air.

(Bridge – softly)
Bate toba, bate tare,
(Beat the drum, beat it loud,)
Gonește răul, adu soare,
(Chase the bad, bring the sun,)
Ursul merge, lumea-nvie,
(The bear walks, the world revives,)
Anul nou din nou să fie!
(May the new year come again!)

(Final Chorus – joyful)
Hei, hei, ursule, dance around the fire,
Lift the people, lift them higher,
Snow and stars, in your mighty song,
We have danced with you all along.
Hei, hei, ursule, through the frost and flame,
Every year we call your name,
Hei, hei, ursule, never fade away,
Guard our hearts through each new day.

Peace is more than just an absence of war. True peace is justice, true peace is freedom, and true peace dictates the recognition of what is right and wrong.
 
We all have a life to live, we are all one, we are all human. 

This particular piece gives you an image of what war is. If we all keep doing what we are comfortable and familiar with, we as human beings will slowly go instinct.
