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)

you were born of water by Mysi

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
