Sara’s notes: This was written in anticipation of Song Village 5/2021 – the first big community song gathering to happen in California during the pandemic. 
So many choices, so much, so much care, so much anticipation and uncertainty. 

Here is a recording with Ma Muse teaching Strand by Strand at Song Village. 
Recorded and shared with permission.  It is raw footage, so some abrupt cuts here and there. 
Note the free form harmonies – feel free to improvise!

Lyrics:

Strand by strand,
Voice by voice,
Note by note,
Choice by choice,
Hand in hand,
Heart to heart,
We’re weaving ourselves back in.

I need you.
Do you need me too?
Yes!  I need you.
We’re weaving ourselves back in.
