Would you hew to the heartwood, cutter?
Would you lay me low beneath your feet?
Listen to my sap mutter
Hear my heartwood beat
Would you throw me on the log pile, cutter?
Would you toss me to the steel saw blade?
Listen to my leaves flutter
Hear my heartwood break
Would you lean your back against me, cutter?
Would you rest your axe a while and sleep?
Listen to the saw guy utter
Hear my heartwood weep
Hear my heartwood
Heartwood
Hear my heartwood

I drink the rain
I eat the sun
I give the breath that fills your lungs
I hear the roaring engines thrum
But I cannot run

Would you hew me to the heartwood, cutter?
Would you lay me low beneath your feet?
Listen to my sap mutter
Hear my heartwood beat

Hear my heartwood
Heartwood
Hear my heartwood

Would you hew to the heartwood, cutter? Would you lay me low beneath your feet? Listen to my sap mutter Hear my heartwood beat Would you throw me on the log pile, cutter?

Spell Songs | The Lost Words Eight visionary musicians, an astonishing book of magical spells - a chance to sing nature back to life

Dammit. Nat put #SpellSongs (based on the amazing @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social books) and I'm in bits, instantly. The contrast between the bigotry of our government and the love and rage of the progressive movement who resist is powerful stuff. Strong recommend for www.thelostwords.org/spell-songs/

With so much negativity in the world it was many happy breaths of positivity to finally witness the Spell Songs project live on stage at the weekend. Beautiful music, lovely people, all the good tears. And "let the raven call you home" to fade... 🎶 🦊

You are in for a treat, as the book is an absolute gem for nature lovers: it's by Robert Macfarlane (poems) & Jackie Morris (art). They have put the poems to music too, and extremely successful touring concerts. It's a blessing to let you know about it! 🙏 Schools love it.
