The Daily Boost (published weekdays) is one of the newsletters of The Raft, the online community of author Phyllis Cole-Dai. We Rafters ride the river of life buoyed by music, poetry, and other arts, along with open spiritual practice. Most everything here is free, but patrons (paid subscribers) get some special perks as a gesture of gratitude.
I expect to hear you howling. Or singing.
I’ll be howling with you. And singing.
SING TO THE MOUNTAIN
Elephant Revival
Let the fires burn tonight, let the jugs of wine get drunk
Let the truth be known tonight, don’t go let yourself hide
Go and sing to the mountain, go and sing to the moon
Go and sing to just about everything, ‘cause everything is you
Listen to the rhythm of your heart play like a drum
Listen to the night-call singing songs from all around
Go and sing to the mountain, go and sing to the moon
Go and sing to just about everything, ‘cause everything is you
And let your voice go
Let it pierce through your soul . . .
(My thanks to Elephant Revival.)

Another twofer of primary and bonus song/poems. Wonderful. Here is a link to Maria Popova's Newsletter TheMarginalian entitled A Lighthouse for Dark Times about the essential nature of creative artists in times of global chaos. https://mailchi.mp/themarginalian/lighthouse-1?e=9bde542f90
'Cause everything is you' An important reminder.
Thank you.
