about

'Widening' was inspired by the spiral of the Work That Reconnects, the words and work of Joanna Macy, and the breathtaking interconnectedness of all life on Earth.

Chimes: Koshi Aqua
Birdsong: Swainson's thrush

lyrics

there is a heart that hears the words
our Mother speaks through sea and birds and crickets in the dusk
and chimes in the rain
there is a heart of Earth and I’m
ready to slow down and take the time
to ground again
ground again
listening, we’re listening
listening

there is a heart that, opened wide,
can hold the whole world’s pain inside and it’s yours
and mine
there is a heart, don’t be afraid,
go forth along the path your grief has made
through wind and fire,
wind and fire
breathe in, and through
breathe in, and through

there is a song that wants to sing
itself through us, what power it can bring
we are ready
there is a song that reconnects
across all lands and dialects and the superficial
differences we see
now we see
widening, it’s widening
widening

All the Way
by MaMuse

Oh what an album ... glorious. Perfection. MaMuse is like the soundtrack of my heart. No song of theirs ever gets old. And there is room for me to sing along with a third harmony. YES. Allie Picketts

Living Waters
by Alexa Sunshine Rose

I have listened to this album literal hundreds of times and almost every song fills my soul. I have also left instructions that "Ocean Song" be played at my funeral. Allie Picketts

Wider Circles (full album)

The first time I heard Rising Appalachia it blew my mind. The instrumentation! The rhythms! The harmonies! The soul! This is my favourite album of theirs so far. Allie Picketts
