The Way Knows the Way — by Lyndsey Scott

Post by Welles »

This is a delightful little article about breaking out in song. In it Lyndsey presents her history with singing and takes us on her journey of creating a song, "The Way Knows the Way".
When I was growing up, my mama made up songs for everything. Potty training? Sing about it. Your heart’s deepest longing? In song. I learned: like birds, we sing. Simple plain, because we’re alive. For me Song is a protection mantle, a wise friend, a presence meditation, a comic relief. Song anchors us in our breathing bodies, resonant chambers. Song lives in the crosshairs of Right Here + Right Now.

Turns out there’s an upwelling of folks who need to sing like we need to breathe. We are finding each other and reclaiming our voices as a pathway to Belonging. We bask in the pleasure of harmony and the power of unison. Community singing (simple songs taught call-and-echo in circle form) is a growing movement that honors the relationship between our voices and our hearts, our voices and our grief, & our voices and the path to mutual liberation. Unblocking energy, melting judgment, decomposing scripts of separation, enlisting endorphins . . . . in Singing, we practice the muscle to choose. Wavelengths change things.

That is so good, Welles! ...it feels unbelievably good singing it out loud with the singers on the audio. It is very...releasing for me as I tend to wrest the steering wheel out of the hands of the divine, sometimes with not so great results... Better to let "The way lead the way... :happy

Thank you so much...I needed this tonight... :hithere
love,
Sandy
