“Stillness Rising” is a meditative song that takes us into a quiet place to consider what we might hear from the Earth with the rising of stillness.
Stillness Rising
Stillness Rising
There is too much noise between us
No stillness yet,
Listen for it and so shall I
And the channel will fill with water
Then shall we call it a river
And then shall it come alive
With a life worth fishing for ….
Oh, oh, oh, let the river flow
Let the stillness grow
Between us
Give the fish a stream
Give them time to dream
Oh, let the river flow
Let the stillness grow
Between us…
Oh, oh, oh, you are tender
I am tender
Listen to the hymn
Of the waters rising …
Flowing back to sea
Through the softwood trees
And the humming bees
Between us…
Let us make a gentle place
Where fish have space to dream
Listen to the hymn
Of the waters rising…

mmmm, lovely to listen to with coffee in the AM! Brought the image of many rivers to mind. Thanks for this sweet moment. The image made me think of, “as above, so below.”
Lovely to hear from you, Mark! You know rivers well, and I am sure you have made a lot of music by rivers yourself. I hope you’re well and thriving. We have certainly seen many channels fill in the stillness between us.
Hey Michelle,
Thank you for the invitation into the colours of stillness…amidst waves of silence…we need to listen…
Warm hugs to a beautiful being….
Thanks for listening, Pat. It’s lovely to hear from you. Hope you are well and continuing to write your illumined poetry!
Lovely! Thank you, Michelle.

Thank you for your comment, Jane!
I really loved this beautiful song, Michelle, and your singing of it with such simple tenderness. The message in your soft lilting voice, washed calm over me the first time, and the second time, I felt my dear departed husband Rick, softly reaching out through the cool clear waters to me. It was a very special moment, and very much appreciated at this time. God bless you and keep you safe.
What a moving comment, Pixie. Thank you for sharing your experience with me. It’s a special song that can take us to a meeting place …. I’m very touched by that.

Thanks for sending that wonderful spiritual moment !
Loved your words and voice.
Thanks, Peter. That means a lot!
Thank you for the gift of your ethereal song which opened up a liminal space to me.
The word “stillness” has powerfully dropped an anchor into my soul this past month and your song was an offering to that place in me.
Such beautiful words of appreciation, Rebecca. I am particularly moved by the way you describe ‘stillness’ dropping an anchor into your soul. An image I will not soon forget … many thanks!
Michelle this is absolutely gorgeous. I feel carried away by your beautiful voice that has moved me to tears.
Thank you, dear Kristen!
