All bandcamp music sales benefit www.7genfund.org! This song/music video is based on a conversation with Mescalero Apache elder Oliver R Enjady. Lyla was asked by the Architectural League of New York to write a song or poem about southern New Mexico water issues. But her people are not from that area so she did not feel right speaking on the issue. Oliver gave his perspective, rooted in traditional Mescalero knowledge and his personal observations. A lot of the lyrics from this song are verbatim his words and his message to all of us about how to re-understand water. We have been told by other elders that we need to change the way the world thinks about food and water if we are to survive and thrive. We don’t understand how fragile and precarious our civilization is. Two days without water and our whole society would start to unravel. With depleted ground water sources, unclean rivers and streams, and dwindling springs, we are all having to get back to basics and honor just how precious water is. We cannot take her for granted anymore. We love you all and may this song be a prayer for all waters and the life that depend on them, around the world.

    Papatuanuku is Her name in our indigenous Māori language from Aotearoa New Zealand. Gaia is the name I learned through meditation. By any name, we are a part of Mother Earth, and she is in all of us 🌏💚

    Water, the life running thru the earth. Such a beautiful true song! Why do the business people whose hearts lust for wealth destroys and destroy everything that offers life?!? I don’t understand, yet I do. They are nothing like us. They say they feel our causes, they share our pain.. yet they would sell us if they could. Creator aches more because he created it, and our ancients lives in it. Beautiful Lyla sharing truths with strings... and songs. #gentlewarrior🌸
