Some words I wrote at the Wise Woman Weekend 2017, if you haven't heard of this weekend, then definitely check it out for next year. http://wisewomanweekend.ie/

I performed two songs, both filk. The first one was to have us all sing together and so these words are sung to the tune of The Wild Rover. Singing together does amazing things to your brain, it releases endorphins and makes you feel great. The words were to remind us to stretch out our hands to other women and to make connections

(sung to the tune of the wild rover)

I’ve sought deep knowing for many a year

Its cost me some peace and I’ve shed many tears

But now I am knowing I’ve help in great store

So I don’t have to walk on my own anymore.

Chorus

And it’s no nay never. No nay never no more.

Will I think I’ve to walk, alone any more.

Wise woman are we, our hearts brim with love

We come to know this with a dance, or a shove

The road to arrive here can be hard, can be tough

Eventually we learn that we’re more than enough

Chorus

Look around at the women in this nurturing space

and know we are goddess, all in the right place

While in the big world we can feel set apart

This feeling, this love, is the veins of our heart

Chorus

We can carry this time and this light all our days,

Just remember to connect with yourself in all ways

You shine like the sun, your heart is so bright

Carry this weekend and your wise woman light
