about

In its early days, midwestern community singing festival Village Fire adopted the 8 Shields model to strengthen organizational co-leadership. In 2017, I โ€œheld the direction of the Northeastโ€ โ€“ responsible for tending the energies of Gratitude and the Mystery at the 400 person gathering. While the work crew prepared, the kids and I created cute doodles to tape up inside the porta-potties, as per my Northeast duties. My jaw dropped when I saw 10-year-old Livianโ€™s gel pen cursive scrawled with old soul wisdom: โ€œSing upon joy, sing upon grief, sing upon the light of a new budding leaf.โ€ I asked, โ€œummm, can we please turn this into a song right now?โ€ And the first melody out my mouth became this song, which was received right then into the waiting harmonies of the villagers scattered on picnic benches all around us. Then the second part tumbled out totally intact. Itโ€™s a sweet spell for claiming our power to Restore and for bearing witness to each othersโ€™ thresholds through Song.
