We took a breather from packing (our flight to Peru is in 17 days!) and sat down to sing this beautiful prayer by Mestre Irineu Serra for the Santo Diame Church. The words are beautiful, we've typed up the translation from Portuguese to English below the soundcloud link.
Although this song is not on our new album Weaving the Vine, you can enjoy it on soundcloud.

Flower of the Waters
From where do you come, where do you go?
I will do my cleansing 
My Father is in my heart

The house of my Father 
Is in the heart of the world
Where all Love exists
And there is a profound secret 

This profound secret 
Is in all of humanity 
If everyone knew themselves 
Here within the Truth

This is a live recording of us from a sacred ceremony. 

This fresh out of a sacred ceremony. 
Everyone was moved to pray in song together. 
Like a gentle breeze the voices melded together and drifted through the cool summer twilight hour, honoring the home we love: Planet Earth.
