SONGS FROM THE FAMILY OF CREATION
RUMI
Peter Brinkman
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase each other doesn't make any sense.
FROM THE NAVAJO BLESSINGWAY
Georgia Gómez-Ibáñez
Before me, beauty Behind me, beauty Below me, beauty Above me, beauty Around me, beauty May I speak beauty May I walk in beauty always Beauty I am. All is restored to beauty, All is restored to beauty, All is restored to beauty, All is restored to beauty.
Wolf Eyes
RECORDING: PAUL WINTER CONSORT
BENEDICTION
Daniel Gómez-lbáñez
God makes the rivers to flow. They tire not, nor do they cease from flowing.
May the river of my life flow into the sea of love that is the Lord. May I overcome all the impediments in my course. May the thread of my song be not cut before my life merges in the sea of love.
Guard me against all danger, O Lord. Accept me graciously, O King of kings.
Release me from my sorrows, which hold me as ropes hold a calf. I cannot even open my eyes without the power of your love.
Guard us against the grief that haunts the life of the selfish. Lead us from darkness into light.
We will sing of your love as it was sung of old. mountains.
Your laws change not, but stand like
Forgive me all the mistakes I have committed. Many mornings will dawn upon us again. Guide us through them all, o lord of love.
- Rg Veda, ll, 28:4-9
