about

December 6th is the national day of remembrance and action to end violence against women. Since the covid 19 pandemic started gender based violence in Canada has magnified and increased by 14.3% in Nova Scotia.

As part of the 16 days of activism against gender based violence, I am releasing this track and donating the proceeds to Third Place Transition House, a non profit who supports victims of domestic violence in Nova Scotia. Thanks to Rachel Brisson for contributing the artwork and Joshua Kaiser for the sound engineering.

Thanks for your support!

The lyrics celebrate the inner seasons and cycles of the feminine.

lyrics

purple highways
in the middle of June
oh I wait
for the day
winter sleeps,
spring awakes

sunsets up a tower,
under strawberry moon
owls call
for us to evolve
won't you listen
to your intuition

magnolias and lupines
grace us with their presence
the springtime succeeds
time to shed those widow weeds

cicadas and secrets
standing still afternoon
planting life
clears the mind
weaving through time
in the afternoon light

golden rod and asters
grace us with their presence
the summer symphony
stirs my memory

midnight in a hammock
under grandmother moon
funny tides
sway and rise
outrunning time
where dreams reside

golden rod and asters
leave us to remember
the autumn reverie
leads me to retreat

the autumn reverie
brings back those widow weeds
