Eileen is, as her website says, a Sublime songwriter and community song leader, 
weaving melodies that inspire connection and harmony. We are honored to have her as a member of the LRC community!

Eileen says: I read the phrase “Old Bone Mother” in Sharon Blackie’s book “Hagitude” and it resonated with me. Old Bone Mother is ancient. She reminds us that life is finite – a precious reminder to be in gratitude for the present.

Lyrics:

Old Bone Mother, rattle the bones
Old Bone Mother, rumble the stones
Remind me I will be underground
So I remember to live right now

Old Bone Mother, rattle the bones
Old Bone Mother, rumble the stones
Remind me that death is always near
So I remember to love right here

Old Bone Mother
Old Bone Mother
Old Bone Mother
Old Bone Mother
