There is peace it's settled and done healing comes and I've come through Though there's doubt, there's fear it'll all come back again, overcome me again but I've come through Ready to be clear. Ready to be kind Forgiveness is a choice and freedom her companion so I walk on and on and on I'm on the other side of this I’m on the other side of this I’m on the other side At times the wind abandoned my sails, so I tired, oh, I got so tired Many times I’ve tried and failed so I tried. God knows I tried! No need to hurry away and hide. Steady on, head held high. I'm on the other side of this I’m on the other side of this I’m on the other side I'm on the other side of this I’m on the other side of this I'm on the other side of this I’m on the other side Coming through, thoroughly journeyed through left nothing undone, no words unsaid felt all of the pain, shed all the tears to get to the other siiiiide Mmmmm... Ooohh.... and now i'm on the other side of this I’m on the other side of this I’m on the other side

Follow the flow of Freedom Hold the hand of Hope Learn the lead of Love Trustin’ the Light will find us wherever we roam Goodness grows in the ground Where we crawl or walk or run or dance Nourish her with gratitude Sharin’ together the abundant fruits And we will… Follow the flow of Freedom Hold the hand of Hope Learn the lead of Love Trustin’ the Light will find us wherever we roam Kindness frees the soul Chained in fear and pain from long ago. But Grace embraces all despair. Walk out unbound into the open air. We will… Follow the flow of Freedom Hold the hand of Hope Learn the lead of Love Trustin’ the Light will find us wherever we roam Like gentle streams persistent On the strong, stony mountain Currents of compassion move And cut the deepest grooves The human heart’s got a fire From our Source, Who made us equal and free. Radiate that warmth and light. And liberate a new humanity. Follow the flow of Freedom Hold the hand of Hope Learn the lead of Love Trustin’ the Light will find us wherever we roam We will Follow the flow of Freedom Hold the hand of Hope Learn the lead of Love Trustin’ the Light will find us wherever we roam Trustin’ the Light will find us wherever we roam Trustin’ the Light will find us wherever we roam

You’re not alone. You’re not forgotten. You are protected and provided for. I know sometimes you’re screamin’ inside. I know sometimes it feels like such a fight. But you’re not alone. You’re not alone Let me hold you now as you sob it out Let me hear you reason ‘til your eyes are as dry as your mouth Let me fold my arms around you and your open wounded heart You’re comin’ back together while you’re fallin’ apart Dark heavy laden night clouding those blue, bloodshot eyes Let’s get ya back to bed, tuck you in tight Dawn is coming soon, bringing shameless sunrise As you’re lyin’ here on the floor Let me tell you there’s nothing to be ashamed of anymore Sometimes you gotta break down to finally breakthrough You took the trust fall. Now I’m catchin’ you. You’re not alone. You’re not forgotten. You are protected and provided for. I know sometimes you’re screamin’ inside. You’re not alone. You’re not forgotten. You are protected and provided for. I know sometimes you’re screamin’ inside. I know sometimes it feels like such a fight. But you’re not alone. You’re not alone.

How Long 03:24
How long must we wait for justice? How long must we wait for peace? How long till scales fall from our eyes and we can truly see? When will waters of forgiveness flow, restoring life to this wilderness. Wash away injustice, let prisoners go free? How long? How long? How long? How Long? How long? Bring comfort to the brokenhearted, Relief to the distressed Beauty in the place of ashes, a lightness for this heaviness When will come the year of Jubilee, when all our debts will be released? When will factions dissipate, and enemies make peace? How long? How long? How long? How Long? How long? How long must I wait for justice? How long must I wait for peace? How long till scales fall from my eyes so I can truly see?

Let there be peace on earth Let there be peace on earth Let there be peace on earth Let it begin with me. Love and Light, Illuminate the night Love and Light, Illuminate the night Love and Light, Illuminate the night Let it begin with me. May there be a future for every child Mmm, a future for every child Oh, a future for every child Let it begin with me. For all who feel alone and afraid For all who feel alone and afraid For all who feel alone and afraid May we be hope and light. May kindness and truth reconcile. May kindness and truth reconcile. May kindness and truth reconcile. Let it begin with me. Oooo…

Healing Come 05:38
Healing, come. Healing, come. Healing, come. Healing, come. For all the shame we’ve internalized In our cells, in our bones, the patterns of our minds. Break’in down that story to see divine glory In the mirror and in each other’s eyes. Healing, come… For all the wounds generations bear Family scars, hidden parts, and all that’s unfair Could we hold each other and truths we uncover with loving kindness, so we nevermore tear. Healing, Come…

All you Lovers, all you Lonely Are you dreamin’ sweetly or believin' just barely? All you Devoted and all you Disillusioned If you’re wrapped up in Romance or caught in Confusion… Whoever you are. Wherever you’ve been. Your heart might be fractured but it hasn’t met it’s end Feel it throbbing for a hope, a home, a change Time to throw down the pretense and all that’s feigned You gotta Let Love interfere Soothe and heal Hold your hopes and calm your fears Let Love interfere Well, it's the wisdom of the sage and the way of the seer Love is the weaver and the wheel Love is the longing, love the contentment the thirst and the drink that quenches it You gotta Let Love interfere Soothe and heal Hold your hopes and calm your fears Let Love interfere Oh, I gotta let go, release my resistance the channels of my heart are clear Oh, I gotta let go, release my resistance the channels of my heart are clear Always got something to prove and somewhere to be Here, there’s no ladder-climbing, no lofty tiers. The place where earth and heaven meet All your restraints bust at the seams When you Let Love interfere Mmm, Come closer, come near as the rains raise the streams to wash away the weirs Let Love take it from here Ooo, cause Love is love is love is love is love so let it be Ooo, cause Love is love is love is love is love so let it be Ooo, cause Love is love is love is love is love so let it be Ooo, cause Love is love is love is love is love so let it be

about

“Welcome to Heatherlyn’s Musical Apothecary.
I’m Heatherlyn (she/they). You can call me River, if you’d like. 🌷🌀✨
(Heatherlyn means flowing flowing River. ;) )

It’s my honor and delight to serve you as your minister of magic, 🧚🏼‍♂️ administering medicinal qualities of music and mantra to the best of my ability.

Ultimately we each are our own healers, and our own hearts, our best teachers and guides.

Healing is a courageous,
even counter-intuitively painful journey
and transformation is a re-orienting process.

My deep hope is that the songs on this album will hold space for you to listen deeply to your heart and will support you as you discover your unique path to your truest and fullest self.

Apothecary is a beautiful old word for a medicine shop. My desire and intention all along the 2 year journey of creating this album is that it might become a sonic space that supports you through your healing process, in your meditation practice if you’ve got one, and your mental health in general.

May these songs be a soothing balm to your soul,
or a healing tonic, perhaps an enlivening elixir
to support you in your mindfulness,
I dare say, your heart-full-ness practices
and your embodied human presence,
navigating this terrifying and wonderful existence
in your most authentic, wild, and beautiful way.

Love is an environment
that we create, and my hope is that Love will fill your heart
and your atmosphere wherever you play this - in your home, your vehicle, anywhere!

And please,
do enJoy {this word is an abbreviation for "enter joy", right?} ! ;-)

Love,
Heatherlyn
