The Word is living, being, spirit,
All verdant greening,
The Word is living, being, spirit,
All creativity.

Seen and unseen
This word is manifest in all
In each and every being

Hymn Of The Estuaries
02:57
|
|||
|
As the rivers flow into the sea
As the rivers flow into the sea
As the rivers flow into the sea
They lose their name and their form
To the boundless Sea
Thus the Wise lose both name and form
To be one with God
To be one with All

Many Names
03:37
|
|||
|
There is only one God
Many paths but one God
One in all and all in one
Known by many names
Our way is crossed by a single thread
Which binds the past and road ahead
Like a river which silently sings
Flowing through all things

Storyspace
03:22
|
|||
|
Welcome to the storyspace
All our stories face to face
Tales of woe and tales of grace
Welcome to the storyspace
Welcome to the storyspace
Where each one fits and finds a place
Held in mind, held in grace
Welcome to the story
To the story space
Spread your tent, curtains wide
Expand to grow the space inside
Lengthen ropes and strengthen stakes
A bigger heart is what it takes

The Wind
03:33
|
|||
|
The wind blows where it wills
From whence no one knows
See its movement, hear its sound
In grasses trees and all around
Wither it comes and whither it goes nobody knows,
Nobody knows.

Giving thanks, in all things

Giving thanks, in all things

A Calm Awakening

|
We are born as from a quiet sleep
We are born as from a quiet sleep
We are born as from a quiet sleep
And we die to a calm awakening.
