Song: Abundant Lughnasadh
​Music: Flora Ware

Lyrics

As summer is waning
the harvests begin
we're breaking bread
with kith and kin

Abundance is ours
if we all share
living in harmony
showing we care

​Lughnasadh... Lughnasadh... (repeated)

Notes: Abundance, gratitude -- words that can be so annoying when you're feeling scarcity and lack -- I think part of the reason for traditional festivals was to smush us together with other people who were celebrating so that we can't help but feel a bit of a lift, a bit of a reminder that oh, yes, there is plenitude in the world, and food tastes good, and even better with loved ones around us. I'm grateful to Flora Ware for her entire collection of chants for the year... grateful to you for singing with me -- to my mind, that makes us kith, and I'm so glad to celebrate abundance with kith and kin through this song.
