Flowing to the Ocean

After her unexpected passing eighteen months ago, I wrote about the beautiful MissyB and posted one of her art pieces. One of the ways those who love Missy stay connected is through this tribe group. In that group we post memories and things that remind us of Missy. V posted a chant that Missy taught her and someone else linked to the YouTube video of Missy singing it at a show back in 2003. V later posted an extended version of the song to the thread.

At the Salt Lake ceremony honoring and celebrating Missy's life, people created squares that were made into a quilt. I added the phrase "flowing to the ocean" on a raindrop/teardrop because that song always gives me chills, kept running through my head that day, and felt appropriate. At the time, I didn't even know if Missy knew that song, but clearly she did. (Be patient, you can hear her about 2 minutes into the clip.)

Compilation of different extended versions:
We all come from the Goddess
And to Her we shall return,
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the ocean.

Hoof and horn, Hoof and horn
All that dies shall be reborn
Fire and rain, Fire and rain
All that dies shall live again

(Chorus)

Air and earth, Air and earth
All that dies shall have new birth
Corn and grain, Corn and grain
All that falls shall rise again

(Chorus)

Sage and Crone, Sage and Crone,
Wisdom's gift shall be our own.
Crone and Sage, Crone and Sage,
Wisdom is the gift of age.

Chorus:
We all come from the Goddess
And to Her we shall return,
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the ocean.
