secret-song

One song, a hymn called Hosea, sung at our kitchen table then posted on this secret page so you can hear my husband‘s gift to me too…

Hosea

Come back to me with all your heart.
Don’t let fear keep us apart.
Trees do bend, though straight and tall
so must we, to others’ call.

Long have I waited for your coming
home to me and living, deeply our new lives.

The wilderness will lead you
to your heart where I will speak.
Integrity and justice,
With tenderness, you shall know.

Long have I waited for your coming
home to me and living, deeply our new lives.

You shall sleep secure with peace;
faithfulness will be your joy.
Long have I waited for your coming
home to me and living, deeply our new lives.

She is thankful for the wildflowers first tended by the people of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat First Nations. She strives to honour the Covenant Chain by studying ecological systems and applying the principles in her work, redistributing a portion of revenue to Indigenous and environmental organizations, growing strawberries, offering warmth through words, and taking no more than she needs.
