Notes

Grand Grand Mother is returning celebrates that continuity of natural processes – “the egg is always getting laid and laying” and human concepts too – “truth is being found and finding”. I believe in this energetic, rhythmic music to propel us forward from dire warnings of an ominous future to hope and positive action. Let us be hopeful that we will achieve a balance so that the natural world will remain rich and beautiful, to sustain us and enrich our spirits.

The poem for “Grand Grand Mother is returning” is by Judy Grahn from her book-length poem, The Queen of Wands.
