Wellness Prayer















Villa Cappadocia, Uchisar, Turkey

This chant came unexpectedly, again on the patio, at the end of a long practice session. I had been working through the (now long list) of new songs and their companion rhythms. As I was finishing up i started playing the rhythm at a pretty high tempo, and singing at what felt like half time. (The rhythm is one I really like that I made up somwhere along the line...). I didn't really have any particular intention to write a healing song, so all credit on this one goes to the Muse. I'm thankful to have it, because I am often concerned that people may think I am disinterested in the healing of these in need, due to my stance on the wellness work 'round the Fire. The energy that came through was sweet and very clear, and I ended up singing for a long long time, deep in prayer, with vivid imagery of people recieving light.  



LYRICS:

as we sing this prayer
out to the source of life
we're asking for healing
for all of those in need
we offer up our gratitude
for the gifts of health
we have received
and we add this thread to the tapestry
of wellness that we weave
