It is a gentle thing to keep music safe, like protecting a hidden garden. Record the songs in as many ways as you can—write down the notes, keep copies on paper, make a few hard‑copy CDs, and store them in a cool, dry place. Share them with friends and families, let them sing and play, so the spirit of the song lives in the hearts of those who hear it. In time, the song will bloom again for the next generation, just as the leaves of an ancient tree are passed from one season to the next.
