Gaia

Honolulu, Hawaii

Another song for Interfaith Ecstatic Chanting. (I gotta tell you, it's quite an adventure to find ways to express deity without hooking into someone's specific religion. I'm pretty pleased with this one so far :) One thing I find hopeful about the present moment is that more and more people are waking up to the fact that ALL we have to take care of the Earth - and that doing that is in the little things: our choices around diet, recycling, consumerism, green products and the like. A nod here for the melody i used on the second part, originally from "Weavers" by Shekhinah Mountainwater

LYRICS:

Gaia holy mother
Gaia sacred earth
bountiful goddess Gaia
nature soul, our rebirth

you are the green, and you are the sea
you are the air that's around and in me

you are the fountain, you are the well
you're the source of life from which all things swell

Rhythm: Bhajan
