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
