A Gathering of Hearts

When love makes her call we arise and gather at the river
To cleanse and renew and to witness the Light in us all
With my feet on the Earth I reawaken the memory of me
In this openness I reconnect with you effortlessly
It’s a gathering of hearts   You and me

In 2012 I was called to support a Minister’s Retreat in the Northwest Region of Unity Churches at a retreat grounds called Manuka overlooking the Columbia River in Northern Oregon. When I arrived and was setting up a guitar motif kept inserting itself in my warm up. So I went with it and fleshed it out. The director of the event approached and asked if I had a song that would support the theme. I said, it looks like it is arriving. So, I wrote the lyrics based on the gathering at the river…

The song is very haunting and invokes the vibration that calls to those who arrive. The frequency is often the attraction, though most do not realize it. As a songwriter I simply tune into the vibe and the song delivers itself to my conscious anticipation. Use this chant/intentional song to gather people at the beginning of an event. It can be interwoven throughout the experience to bring the energetic focus back to the forefront.
