Open Mic Week 18 : Water Lullaby (Ojibwe song)

When we focus on hearts on loving vibrations,
The waters of our bodies recrystallize,
And then every tear that falls nourishes the soil.
Through our vibrations, we become powerful healing forces
Activated on this living, garden planet,
In service to all life.
This is my prayer.
Let it be so for you, for me, for all of us.

Nibi (Water) Lullaby
Ojibwe by Dorene Day (Waubanewquay, Marten Clan)
“Water, we love you. We thank you. We respect you.”
Nibeh gi za ge ii goh
Gi mi gwetch ah wei ne mi goh
gi zhah wei ne mi goh

The vibrations of the indigenous languages spring up from the Earth and heal the waters of our bodies when we sing them. This song is intended to be sung publicly only once it has been learned and held by the singer for a long time. I have been carrying this song for two years, which is not long, and yet I feel the world needs to receive this kind of vibrational medicine to transmute the density of these times. I ask the people of the Ojibwe nation for permission to share this song. Thank you.

Thank you for walking in beauty beside me. Whether we know each other or not, if you’re reading this, our hearts our woven together in the great tapestry of life, and I’m grateful you’re here.

SONGS TO NOURISH YOUR LIFE

Check out the Hive account@openmic series of posts, where the man I walk with Hive account@cabelindsay has created a forum for this kind of vibrational medicine to root in our consciousness and flourish within each one of us. I am so grateful for this man, his vision, and the medicine he carries--in his songs and in his heart.
