#DruidicOracle #fuc #personwithukulele #folk #indie #acoustic #simple #memory This year for the Druidic Oracle Challenge I was given The Apprentice of Water. This card prompted me to think about my own relationship with the element. I came up with a vivid memory of just before I began high school. My extended family met up for a camping trip by a medium sized lake in northern Ontario. There was one stone in particular I loved to sit on and just watch the lake and all its inhabitants. Even now, I can close my eyes and go there. So come along with me.

Lyrically I tried to change up my usual style and I kept everything very simple and quiet to try to invoke the peace this memory holds.

I sat on a smooth stone Reaching out across the water I sat on a smooth stone Reaching out across the water

The loons call The sun sinks down The loons call The sun sinks down

The stone grows cold The bones in my feet ache The stone grows cold The bones in my feet ache

I am fourteen again Just learning I am myself I am fourteen again Just learning I am myself

I am myself Inside my own head

I sit on that smooth stone Reaching out into the water I sit on that smooth stone Reaching out into the water Every time I close my eyes Every time I close my eyes

There is a slow breeze The sound of children splashing There is a slow breeze The sound of children splashing

The loons call The sun sinks down The loons call The sun sinks down

The stone grows cold The northern lights dance The stone grows cold The northern lights dance

I am fourteen again Just learning I am myself I am fourteen again Just learning I am myself Inside my own head

The loons call The sun sinks down The loons call The sun sinks down

I sat on a smooth stone Reaching out into the water I sat on a smooth stone Reaching out into the water Out into the water
