Sara says: I learned this song this summer while up at Ahlay Blakeley‘s Wails for Grief gathering in Sedro Wooley, Washington. Earth Practice is a trio of beautiful people, Yin, Yam and Jessie, who live in Bellingham Washington. I first heard Yam and Jessie at Song Village and just love everything about their sweet, authentic selves and music. Earth practice is very low key in promoting themselves and are relatively new to the community singing world, but do have a public Facebook page with many treasures:

Yam and Jessie also have a great podcast where they discuss all things community music and beyond and teach a song per episode. Bliss Is Ordinary:

Earth Practice welcomes their songs to be shared with the community!
Here is a recording of Earth Practice teaching us, and making mistakes!
Lyrics:
1. Even when I (you, we) make mistakes,
May I learn to love and accept myself fully.
X2
2. Even when I (you, we) cause harm.
May I remember that I’m worthy of love.
X2
3. I (you, we) belong,
Even when I can’t see it
I belong, even when I can’t feel it,
I belong,
Even when I can’t believe it,
I belong, I belong.
X2
