Listen to the wolves, coyotes, birds...your own spirit...
Hear the lizards skitter through leaves and debris
Hear the turtles plop into the water
Feel the flow of all life move through you
HOWL TO THE MOON | Epic Wolf Anthem
From the description box:
LYRICS I howl... to the moon tonight Howl... just enough to know I’m alive I don’t need an answer I don’t need a sign Just let the moon hear this voice of mine I howl... to the moon tonight I’ve spent too many nights with words I couldn’t say Too many empty rooms where nothing went away So I step into the cold and let the whole world sleep No explanation No promises to keep Just a throat, just a lung, and one sound I can still make The moon don’t ask me where I’ve been It don’t need me to explain a thing It just hangs there over everything So I breathe and sing... I howl... to the moon tonight Howl... just enough to know I’m alive I don’t need an answer I don’t need a sign Just let the moon hear this voice of mine I howl... to the moon tonight Maybe I’m a lone wolf Maybe that’s alright I learned to keep moving when nobody walked beside But even a lone wolf needs somewhere to call Somewhere to throw his voice when the silence gets too strong So I lift my head Let the night come through And give the dark the only thing it never took: My voice The moon don’t judge me for the shape I’m in It don’t care where the hurt begins It just stays there So I let it know I’m still here I howl... to the moon tonight Howl... just enough to know I’m alive I don’t need an answer I don’t need a sign Just let the moon hear this voice of mine I howl... to the moon tonight Howl... Howl... No words. No answer. Just the night carrying it farther than I can. I used to think someone had to hear me For the sound to mean a thing Now I know Some nights you howl just to feel your own heart ring Not for rescue Not for proof Not because you know you’ll make it through You howl Because the night is wide And something in you still wants life I howl... to the moon tonight Howl... just enough to know I’m alive I don’t need an answer I don’t need a sign Just let the moon hear this voice of mine I howl... Howl... Something answers mine. Not a word. Not a name. Just another voice inside the night. I howl... to the moon tonight Howl... Far away... Howl... Closer now. I thought I was alone. Maybe not. I howl... To the moon.
And here is the woven response...
May you feel the urge to create
May you hear the animals
May you howl at the moon

YES, You did it; your weaving captures that ancient feeling of time and landscape, so often felt when we gaze upont our mountains, etc. Beautifully recreated in woven threads. You may not know this but you have also wonderfully recreated the Irish landscape. By this I mean, that the colors of your woven piece echo the cover of one of my favorite Irish books, John O'Donohues, Walking in Wonder. It takes a sense of wonder, a deeply noticing eye and open heart, to see beyond what is before us, to take landscape as a living place, and then use creativity and joy to recreate what has touched us...you have that gift Nancy and we are all the richer for it..
Marti~ Aw, you are so sweet. I have to admit that I was quite pleased when the bag was completed. I've considered trying this scene in one of the small Oak Stick weavings. They are wider and I may be able to make a few more peaks on the mountains. We'll see.
It's nice to know I've captured a good memory for you! xo
Some of the neighborhood children were out howling at the ,moon last night. :) One of my favorite movie scenes is in Moonstruck, "howl, howl at la bella luna." Deb G
Deb~ Aw...sweet! I had a little boy in my class back a few years, who loved to howl - at anytime! We howled together a lot. His pic is still on my fridge :)
First I love the photo. It’s really glorious. And yes, the weaving does capture the feeling and colors of the scene!~Dee
Dee~ Yay! Thanks 🙂 I am really liking this one.
