a love song 

to my mother 

to this sweet mother earth we are born to 

to myself, to remember all the ways to tend to this body, to nurture this body, this gift so I can show up for those around me 

for the knowledge deep seeded in my bones, planted with love and tenderness, weeded with strong lessons 

left to grow wild 

left to grow strong rooted and resilient 

left to grow free 

my mother has always grown such beautiful gardens, there was always a bouquet or food basket to be made for the visitor, the neighbour, the teacher. This abundance was never lost on me, a lesson in everything this earth has to offer if we tend to it, if we listen, if we come back to it again and again, so we can share its wealth to nourish and uplift those around us. 

a song to say thank you for this life and all it’s lessons 

This song was created using a climate sample pack recorded by green peace on expeditions around the globe for a contest for DJ's for Climate Action that asked the question: 

“what will our future sound like” 

to me our future sounds like listening. There is a symphony of sounds out there that inform us to how our environment is functioning. Listening and remembering ~ how we got here and how we can take care of where we are now to nurture and share in its abundance
