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.

by Heather Houston
Easy does it now
Slow it down
Feel the sound
As you breathe, sing, freely now
Tune, croon, swoon…
by Laura Walker
Settle, settle like a pebble.
Settle, settle like a pebble.
Settle like a pebble on a riverbed.
Drift like a feather on a stream.
You can travel with the flow, if you just let go,
and close your eyes and be.
Drift, and settle gently.
You can travel with the flow, if you just let go.
The water flow will wash you clean.
by Maggie Wheeler
This is it.
This is it!
This is the place you wanna be (x2)
Don't wait until tomorrow to let yourself be free
This is it
This is the place you wanna be
2. This is the song you wanna sing
Don't wait until tomorrow to let your voices ring
3. This is the love you wanna feel
Don't wait until tomorrow to let your love be real
4. The world is calling out to you
Don't wait until tomorrow for what you came to do
by Gérone Pascal
Dahil mahal kita
dahil mahal na mahal kita
dahil mahal kita
ibibigay ko ang lahat
Because I love you so much,
Because I love you so much, so much, so much
Because I Iove you so much,
I give you all of my heart.
165. Heaven Above, Earth Below
by Becky Graber
Heaven above, Earth below,
And I the path between,
Making my way through fields of ever rolling green,
Making my way through fields of ever rolling green.
Heaven above, Earth below,
And in between am I,
Finding a path with heart and spirit, earth and sky,
Finding a path with heart and spirit, earth and sky.
Ah dah dah, ah dah dah, ah dah dah dah.
Ah dah dah, ah dah dah, ah dah dah, Ah.
Heaven above, Earth below,
And I the two reveal,
Shining through me the light of Spirit that can heal,
Shining through me the light of Spirit that can heal.
Heaven above, Earth below,
And I the path between.
by Becky Reardon
Don't give up; give a little kindness to yourself.
Put a little flex -- put a little flex in your plan.
Find another way -- like a river!
Flow -- may you never stop flowing.
