The beginnings of this song came to me while walking up a tor on Dartmoor, at the approach to Samhain. I was thinking about ancestors back and forwards through time...feeling myself as threshold, as arrowhead, travelling from all that has been towards all that will come.

The song is a call to the parts of myself and all of us that once knew, know now or will know again a more sacred way of living together and of honouring life. The song is especially a call to the honouring of water, the element that teaches us perhaps most profoundly how to live, how to forgive, how to purify our emotions, how to remember what came before and how to nourish the life that will continue after us.

lyrics

I reach back to the ones
I reach deep inside to the one
I reach forward to the ones
Who remember, who remember, who remember

We are lovers of life, life, life
The sun and the moon, moon, moon
The earth and the sky, sky, sky
Come offer to the water

Come gather round the fire, fire, fire
Returning to life, life, life
And now is the time, time, time
Come offer to the water

Come gather round the fire, fire, fire
Let's sing for the sun, the moon, the stars
The earth and the sky, sky, sky
Come offer to the water

Ai ee ay ay....
