Late August in Maine is bittersweet. The warm days are gorgeous, but so fleeting! I wrote this fiddle tune a number of years ago, wanting to express the feeling of this sacred moment of beauty balanced on the very edge of the end of summer. You can download the sheet music below the sailboat. ![]()

This song came through after I enjoyed a workshop with Susan Harper, a wonderfully creative and innovative Continuum teacher who lives on the West coast and comes to North Carolina a couple of times a year to teach. One day Susan invited us to notice and allow ourselves to embody the reality that we are all sharing the same ground, all sitting, standing or walking on the same earth. As I experimented with this, I discovered that as I truly opened to the shared ground, I felt a dissolving of the feeling of being a separate individual self. I wrote and sing this song with deep gratitude to Susan for the beautiful work she does, which has illuminated my life. Thank you Susan! The Bodies, Voices & Spirit Chorus and I sang this with the Unity Center of Peace Congregation in Chapel Hill in the spring of 2016. We were accompanied by the music of Jude Casseday on djembe, Diantha Rau on the heartbeat drum, Raymond Smith on 12 string guitar, and me on piano. We Share This Ground
c Kathleen Hannan Across the world somewhere there is a mother's child A human being We share this ground With every blade of grass With every living thing With every breath We share this ground We share this ground, where green things grow And why we're here, we do not know We wish for peace, we wish for peace We wish for peace, we share this ground We wish for peace, we wish for peace We wish for peace, we share this ground We wish for peace, we wish for peace We wish for peace, we share this ground And we share this Heart, we share this ground And we share this Heart, we share this ground And we share this Heart, we share this ground Across the world...... We wish for peace.... Everywhere on Earth, we share this ground We wish for peace.... We pray for peace We cry for peace Everywhere on Earth, we share this ground We pray for peace We search for peace We find peace, we find peace in our Heart We wish for peace We wish for peace Everywhere on earth We share this ground |
