7. Spiral

« PreviousNext »
Song Spiral
Music & Words Patricia Norton
Composed in​ 2020
Lyrics

I'm letting myself move in a spiral,
I'm flexing and I'm swaying and I'm bending with the wind.

I'm coming down to where I want to be.

Gotta let me grow, gotta let me grow,
you know.... I've got to grow.

Notes I wrote this song a few months into the pandemic, at a point when I was disappointed with how I seem to know all this wisdom in my head, but have so much trouble translating it into body knowledge... I was tearful & fearful – and so frustrated with myself. Then I realized – oh, right -- this what it feels like to grow! Moving from comfortable to uncomfortable in a spiral of growth. Which started me thinking about prairie grass – the beauty of acres of grasses swaying and moving in the wind. Roots in the dirt and touching the sky... both growing up and coming down. Natural patterns that occur and recur -- including the spiral.
