With the ringing of bells
As a point of reference on this 5th day of light snow in the morning
the poem (I think of as sung by Sweet Honey in the Rock).


                                     Breathe

       (as sung by Sarah Stockwell on "Dark of Moon," adapted from original poem by Birago Diop)

       Lisen more often to things than to beings
       Listen more often to things than to beings
       Tis the ancestors' word when the fire's voice is heard
       Tis the ancestors' word in the voice of the water

       Those who have died have never never left
       The dead are not under the Earth
       They are in the rustling trees
       They are in the groaning woods
       They are in the crying grass
       They are in the moaning rocks
       The dead are not under the Earth

       So listen more often to things than to beings
       Listen more often to things than to beings
       Tis the ancestors' word when the fire's voice is heard
       Tis the ancestors' word in the voice of the water

       Those who have died have never never left
       The dead have a pact with the living
       They are in the woman's breast
       They are in the wailing child
       They are with us in the home
       They are with us in the crowd
       The dead have a pact with the living

       So listen more often to things than to beings
       Listen more often to things than to beings
       Tis the ancestors' word when the fire's voice is heard
       Tis the ancestors' word in the voice of the water

Blessings in these exciting times.
In Love & Light
