CD 430 Temple 80


one body many heads
countless arms reaching kaeru
as she sings frog song
how similar are legends
same hero with many names
as she sings frog song
I reach my hand to kaeru
and she hops on board
together we can *sally forth
with taut sails on calm water
and she hops on board
my hand, in the sail pocket
of my pilgrim shirt

*sally forth a verb that can mean to: set out in a sudden or energetic manner.
Or from the Cambridge online dictionary: to leave a safe place in a brave or confident way in order to do something difficult.



Note:
kaeru = frog, return in Japanese
Also is a lucky symbol and related to travelers
kaeru is my companion guide on this journey
We are both ...female :)
