Songs
To learn next
At the sea, blue sea
There was a floating flock of small white swans
And where did the gray-white eagle come from?
It dispersed the flock around the blue sea
White down rose to heaven,
Gray feathers fell on a green meadow
And who will collect these feathers?
- A beautiful girl
- Belarusian folk song "Shtoy pa moru"
Inspiration
Oh Mother, oh Earth
Give us the strength to make this birth
Oh mountain, Oh sky
Holy the serpent and holy the eye.
We are your daughters, and we are your sons
May we have the courage to become
Keepers of caverns
And tenders of seeds
We stand in a circle in your time of need
Oh Mother, Oh Earth
We kneel at your rivers
We dance at your hearth
We are your daughters, and we are your sons
May we have the courage to become
Seekers of caverns
And mothers of seeds
Ask any serpent how to be
Oh Mother, Oh Earth
May we have the strength
To make this birth
- Sylvia Linsteadt: "This is a song that fell into my head one day in the pinewood where I live; it felt like it came absolutely from elsewhere, all the words practically written. I share it here with you as an invocation and offering to the earth at this time."
