Forgotten Monologue

Nishmat Kol Chai - Joey Weisenberg And The Hadar Ensemble

There Is So Much Magnificence

recorded by batya levine, molly bajgot, margot seigle, alicen roberts & george clements around a fire in JP, Boston Iyar 5776 / May 2016. 

the origins of this song are a little mysterious to me, but the farthest i could trace back is from a recording by the Rainbow family Rainbow Sprite video in August of 1997

Humble yourself inside of the fire
You gotta lay down low
Humble yourself inside of the fire
You gotta ask em what she knows

And we will lift each other up
Higher and higher
And we will lift each other up
Higher and higher

in the end, mixed with Lime Tree by Trevor Hall

a note on these lyrics: this is the version I learned and that i've heard, but i believe the original words are actually:

Humble yourself in the light of the elders
You gotta bend down low and
Humble yourself in the light of your elders
You gotta know what they know and

We shall lift each other up
Higher and higher and (chorus)
We shall lift each other up

Humble yourself in the light of your children
You gotta bend down low and
Humble yourself in the light of your children
You gota know what they know and (chorus)

Humble yourself in the light of your sisters……..
Brothers….the animals……..each other, etc.

May I Be Empty/Full

let the rain soak soak soak your clothes
let the rain seep seep into your bones
let the rain drench drench drench your soul
let it in

Lyrics:
Trees grow slow
And trees grow strong
And trees sway with the wind
Their whole lives long

And trees hold the ground
As they reach for the sky
And fallen trees still feed the seeds
They cast before they die

Trees Grow Slow (Laurence Cole)

Hamotzeh shivrei tzelamim, harei eilu mutarim
 המוצא שברי צלמים הרי אלו מותרים
(Mishnah Avoda Zara 3:2)
 To the finder of broken images-- behold, these are permitted.

Hamotzeh - Arielle Rivera Korman

Lyrics:
In the queen’s palace there are many gates and doors, leading to many halls and chambers.
The palace-keepers have great rings holding many keys, each of which opens a different door. 
But there is one key that fits all the locks, a master key that opens all the doors.
 
Ve’im ratz libcha l’harheir shuv lamakom- if the heart runs return to the place 
 
Every key unlocks another door in our souls, brings us to another chamber 
But there is one key that unlocks all the doors, that master key is a broken heart. 

Ve’im ratz libcha l’harheir shuv lamakom- if the heart runs return to the place 
 
The master key it is a broken heart 
 
קָרוֹב יְיָ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי לֵב
(Shechina d is close to the broken hearted)

*The verses are from a story of the Baal Shem Tov (Or Yesharim). The chorus is from Sefer Yetzirah. Compilation and melody by Avra. Cover art by Tamuz Shiran from the book "Return to the Place" by Rabbi Jill Hammer.
