With tremendous gratitude to Eckhart Tolle and "The Power of Now."
3-part (melody, high harmony, low harmony); 4/4

Lyrics (x 3):
There’s wisdom in… the stillness
From a wellspring deep… inside
Slow down… enough to listen
Take a moment; go… outside. 

See the beauty all… around you 
Hear the grandness of… its call 
Find the golden thread… within yourself 
That connects you to it all. 

Outro: (x 3)
Breathe in no hurry
Let go… thoughts of worry
Breathe in the fullness
of Now.

Wisdom in the Stillness - Anne Woodward - High Harmony

This song arose in 2021 out of personal grief and collective grief (covid loss of connection), as well as out of a much deeper grieving for what we've done to our Mother Earth. May these words offer hope for her, and our, resilience.

This can be taught in community song circles by using only the first three lyric parts.

Also, this is an old recording, check with me if you're interested in carrying this song as a few small things have changed ;)

Lyrics:

Part One:

Let the rain fall
Let your tears fall
You can’t control the rain
You can’t control the sun
You can only trust
That each dawn will come

Part Two: 

No matter what we’ve done
No matter what you’ve done
The dawn will always come

Part Three:

You are always home
You are the star
If you only know
You are a star

Part Four (Bridge):

Look to the brilliant blue sky
And the stars at night
Find your place there
The stars will always turn
And you will always learn
To find your place there

Part Five (Bridge):

Trust
The way you trust the sun to rise
Trust 
Trust yourself to rise

Part Six (ENDING):

Let the rain fall
Let the plants grow
Let the sun shine
Let the rivers flow

Let your soul fall
Let your soul grow
Let your soul shine
Your soul will always flow
