All You Need To Know Is You Were Born Of Water
I was inspired by the image in this blogpost by Mysi and the accompanying words from Cloud Cult (see end of blog).
It seems to perfectly match the culmination of this year’s soul work and the extraordinary changes that are taking place around us.
Personally, this song - one of many written about the death of singer/songwriter Craig Minowa’s young son - resonates with my experience of miscarriage this year.
And I wonder if there is a collective movement of water, connected to all those who have lost babies… sons, daughters, grandsons and granddaughters.
In a way this post is an extension of the summary of the year to date, a sub-theme to the overarching changes that have washed over us in 2019.
It’s certainly been a year of Water.
We came back to the place of our beginnings - to our Home - to the Source, to the original mother and to the Earth.
This is our place of Water.
We are made from her, we return to her.
And now we honour her.
(All you need to know is you were born of water)
These lyrics seem to capture the energy and spirit of the year’s learning, grieving, healing and truth. And of course, I love the green ethical credentials of Cloud Cult so even more reason to celebrate their visionary music.
When Water Comes to Life by Cloud Cult
and when the angels come
they'll cut you down the middle
to see if you're still there
to see if you're still there
and underneath your ribs
they'll find the heart shaped locket
an old photograph of you in daddy's arms
and then they'll sew you closed
and give you back to the water
from where we're all born
from where we're all born
and you'll feed the ghosts
and you'll feed the living
you'll be a stranger
and you'll a friend
you'll be the leper
and you'll be the healer
you'll be the hero
and the tragedy
and when they sew you closed
they'll give you back to the water
from where we're all born
from where we're all born
and when they burn your body
all thats left is sand crystals
two tiny handfuls
all the rest is water, water, water
all you need to know
is you were born of water
you are made of water
you are living water, water, water
all you need to know
is you were born of water
you are made of water
you are living water, water, water
all you need to know
is you were born of water
you are made of water
you are living water, water, water
