Earth, Sky, Wind, Water, Fire . . . We are all living on living on the edge of the world We are Earth, Sky, Wind, Water, Fire . . . (The following words are attributed to Chief Sealth (Seattle): All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons and daughters of the Earth Man did not weave the web of life We are merely strands in it Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.

We circle around We circle around The boundaries of the Earth We circle around We circle around The boundaries of the Earth Wearing our long wing feathers as we fly Wearing our long wing feathers as we fly We circle around We circle around The boundaries of the sky We circle around We circle around The boundaries of the sky Wearing our long wing feathers as we fly Wearing our long wing feathers as we fly.
3.	Fire Wind Blowing 03:50	lyrics	buy track
There is a fine wind blowing The sky begins to clear Seeing new horizons Letting go of fear There is a fine wind blowing A vision becomes clear A time that's filled with wisdom For all who wish to hear It speaks to us in whispers A message to reveal Laughing voice tells us we have a choice Ways to feel, ways to heal It teaches us so freely All that nature knows We are whole Heart, body, mind and soul So many ways to learn and grow A world of love, a world of love It teaches us so gently Opening our lives You and I awaken to the light Shining through the children's eyes A world of peace, a world of peace.
4.	Dolphin Dance 04:01	lyrics	buy track
Does anyone want to play today Does anyone want to play? Swimming' and a singin' and a rollin' Dancing' in the deep blue waves The rhythm of the sea is flowing freely Music and mystery Breathing, Loving, Dolphin family We glide with ease On the open sea Knowing every sound Echoing around Graceful unity Joyful and silvery A dolphin dream Following moon beams We live so peacefully Through ancient centuries Sweetness and surprise Shining in our eyes A mama dolphin sings Showing the love she brings Oh hear the call Children one and all Breathing, Loving, Dolphin family Does anybody want to play today?
5.	Flowers 03:41	lyrics	buy track
Flowers, aha! Flowers, aha! Beautiful colors bloom Flowers, aha! Flowers, aha! Blossoms will dance for you Springtime will be sure to give you Give you quite a thrill, yellow daffodils Paint your greenery upon the scenery Rising in the sky so blue The sunflower shines on you Ah, the smell of summer roses It's a dandy day to watch a pansy play Gracefully they grow, bouquets on tiptoe Cheerfully the garden sings The sun shines on everything Flowers from innocent and free Nature knows how to grow peacefully Flowers grow with the care of loving hands People know peace can grow in every land I'm so gladiola; you're gladiola too.
6.	Sacred Trees 02:53	lyrics	buy track
Come on and walk along with me Down a path so peacefully To a place where you are free Step softly if you please While the wind sings quietly As we walk among the sacred trees As we walk among the sacred trees La la la la la la la The forest is a home For all the plants and animals A place where they are free Look closely and you'll see How they live in harmony As they walk among sacred trees As they walk among sacred trees Come on and walk along with me Down a path so gracefully The air is fresh and clean This is a prayer for all the trees Forever there for you and me Please let the earth be green And walk among sacred trees Please let the earth be green And walk among sacred trees.
7.	Peace Trees Vietnam 04:28	lyrics	buy track
Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall inherit the Earth Blessed are the innocent, may all children know their worth Blessed are the wild things bravely giving birth Blessed are the ancient ones who share our holy Earth Once we planted land mines to blow us all apart Now we're planting peace trees to mend our broken hearts As we tend to the soil, so we tend to our human soul Returning beauty to the Earth, the circle of life, once again, made whole So let us plant peace in every season Let us plant peace in every season It's time to heal the wounds of war, time for the people to restore Life, sweet life, to the land So all our children will be safe and free For the future generations of the family tree Let us plant peace in every season It's a journey of forgiveness, though we may live worlds apart The sharing of our scared tears, the opening of our hearts As we give to human kindness, we are gentle, we are strong We are choosing life my friends Connecting loving hands to sing our peace tree song.

about

Circle of Beauty: singing spirit, dancing prayer
A collection of Peace and Earth songs 1982 - 1998

Circle of Beauty is a reflection of my life work in music and education. Primarily expressed through the performing arts company, Tickle Tune Typhoon, our artistry is dedicated to the spirit of sharing joy and essential life learning through music and dance with children, family, community and the Earth. This circle of life, love and beauty has been enriched and sustained by many powerful and talented people - my deep gratitude to all the Tickle Tune Typhoon performers who have given the best of their hearts and souls over the last 20 years.

Our music was lovingly and exquisitely produced by Danny Deardorff - his spirit and the gifts of many musicians will love on through these delightful, award-winning recordings.

With courage, faith and compassion, my lifelong friend and co-founding director, Dennis Westphall, and I have been the roots and wings of this vision, continuing the circle of singing spirit and dancing prayer, rich colors of life's joy and sorrow - a circle of beauty that honors and celebrates all life. All My Relations, Blessed Be.
