Ella Fitzgerald said, ”The only thing better than singing is more singing!” Use song to find wellness in ourselves, each other, and our world. In each episode, Patricia introduces a song that she trusts to help her navigate life. These songs provide a great soundtrack to your day — whether it’s comfort, presence, delight, grief-tending, or simply easing the way. Periodic interviews with song creators add color and understanding. Songs have helped Patricia heal, adapt, and grow, and she hopes these selections will become companions for you as well.

Words & Music by Lisa Doscher
All our voices are rising up... oh, my soul
Voices sing, voices ring
Sounding out, echoing!
Quiet voices are rising up
Wild voices are rising up
Sacred voices are rising up
Awakened voices are rising up
Inspired voices are rising up
United voices are rising up
Hear our voices rising up!
Words & Music by Saro Lynch-Thomason
1. There are more waters rising, this I know, this I know.
There are more waters rising, this I know.
There are more waters rising, they will find their way to me;
there are more waters rising, this I know, this I know,
there are more waters rising, this I know.
2. ...fires burning...
3. ...mountains falling...
4. I will wade through the waters... when they find their way to me;
5. I will walk through the fires...
6. I will re-build the mountains...
7. I will wade through the water...
Words & Music by Barbara McAfee
Oh the darkness has swallowed me whole,
and I cannot remember the light.
Oh, I feel I am losing my soul to the night, to the night.
You are a seed.
This is the waiting time.
You hold a dream of green that will call you to the sky.
Words & Music by Samara Jade
1. I believe that I’m in the right place at the right time
This wave is crashing down and it’s the one for me to ride
2. Crazy world, crazy times
Gonna let go of what oughtta be
And hang on for the ride
3. Ebb and flow
Rising, falling
Words & Music by Heidi Wilson
Holy Fire in the sun
Water in the river, and Wind within my lungs
Oh holy Earth beneath my feet
All of us are offerings and also at the feast
Words & Music by Lisa Piccirillo
When I see me,
I am standing in my light.
I will be me
when I’m standing in my light.
And if it’s blinding,
I’ll keep climbing
oh so high
and just keep going
toward my knowing
till I find:
I radiate.
