O’ FAMILY OF THE WILLING HEART.
“Through the ocean of storms. Through the sea of crises…
Seas of sorrow, running tears of pain…By the willing heart, by the willing heart…”
As we care for our Mother, the days and nights are long, and hard, and still life-filled. I think of and thank my sisters, brothers, our children and partners, who tirelessly do for Winifred, and so for offer a place for the weary heart.
Love you. Jame
Lyrics “Sanctuary” by Cris Williamson
Through the ocean of storms. Through the sea of crises
We feel the ice ease its hold upon the heart
O, we are weeping-ripe for sanctuary
Carry us home, let sanctuary start
And the rising tide lifts all boats
Little boats that ride upon the sea
Seas of sorrow, running tears of pain
We’ll sail tomorrow, we’ll sail tomorrow
We’ll sail tomorrow, ’til we are home again
(CH.) So hoist your sails when the wind is fair
May harbor-home prevail, for the heart is there
Let sanctuary start, all lost will be found
By the willing heart, by the willing heart
By the willing heart
Home ground, home town, hide-out, hide away
Safe hold, safe place, cast out, castaway.
