The chant group that i work with, Women With Wings: West, has proven to be an amazing source of smiles, laughs, tears and startling self-awareness.
Each time i go something different touches me, something with which i resonate so deeply that there's "something there" i can hold and learn from. Last time it was chants of healing and change that touched a deep well of pain and drew me towards the light of willingness to move forward. i used those chants for weeks, and will likely use them for a long time to come.
Last night we were a smaller group than is typical but i had just as amazing an expereince. We had a long period of "silly songs!" Ok, i adore silly songs! To me, no camp, bonfire or road trips were complete without them. Know too that i was a preschool Director. Ergo, my repertoire is fairly extensive!! i walked away having created laughs, amazement, giggles and a new-found reputation as the silly song QUEEN! LOL
Yes, there was also a more serious side to the evening and i did find a marvelous new chant to work with this month. It's one of those, similar to the Carlebach one i posted, that is very centering. This one's about being present, breathing and loving in the moment, in the "now". Sigh, the reminder as a good one.
Wishing you Light, The Queen of Silly Songs
About Me
- me
- I'm an ornery wench. Just trust me on this one. :) my loves: coffee, road trips, learning, teaching, music of all sorts, firelight, intentional family, being at water's edge, intense conversations, boundless laughter, clearance sales. I'm a peacemaker, facilitator and problem solver. A fiend for conscious choice and personal responsibility. Nothing is sexier to me than brains and talent. I strive for nothing less than radical honesty. I expect nothing less than that endeavour in return.
