Otter song on piano (The Lost Words Blessing)

Just found out that today is World Otter Day ( I love mustelids having had pet ferrets for some years) so it reminded me of this beautiful song.
"May you enter now as otter without falter into water...."
Normally when I sing the line about the otter, I pick up the toy otter we have who usually sits on the piano keys (not on this video as I recorded this a year ago or two!)
This was written by a group of some amazing folk musicians (Scottish I think) to accompany the Lost Words book. Listen here
• The Lost Words Blessin...
It is vital we pass on this knowledge of nature before it is lost forever

"Enter the wild with care, my love And speak the things you see Let new names take and root and thrive and grow And even as you travel far from heather, crag and river May you like the little fisher set the stream alight with glitter May you enter now as otter without falter into water Look to the sky with care, my love And speak the things you see Let new names take and root and thrive and grow And even as you journey on past dying stars exploding Like the gilded one in flight, leave your little gifts of light And in the dead of night, my darling Find the gleaming eye of starling Like the little aviator, sing your heart to all dark matter Walk through the world with care, my love And sing the things you see Let new names take and root and thrive and grow And even as you stumble through machair sands eroding Let the fern unfurl your grieving, let the heron still your breathing Let the selkies swim you deeper Oh, my little silver seeker Even as the hour grows bleaker, be the singer and the speaker And in city and in forest, let the larks become your chorus And when every hope is gone Let the raven call you home
