fly free and strong
joining together in
the power of song
Drum, heartbeats rise
echoing old ways
mothers listen
the spirits praise
Women and song
that is our way
drumming together
grandmothers say
They teach us the ways
to sing with our voice
drum with our hearts
love and rejoice
Women rise be strong
for girls listen
to the power of song.

OMG!
''women rise be strong, for girls listen to the power of song'' -beautiful..this is what I hear from my ma all the time- to get up and be strong for my lil girl is listening to my song..
I love hearing a drum circle chanting and singing... it carries an ancient message that resonates with me, and even though I don't know the words, I understand their purpose. Nice post, River.
So powerful, wise and beautifully expressed. Yes, our daughters listen very acutely to our song..........I love the sound and the feeling of drumming and singing...........it feels both ancient and completely Be Here Now, at the same time.
the power of song, the power of mothers and daughters!
I'm glad you shared these beautiful words, River
thank you
