Movement of Fire B-Day Session

Recorded at Omega Institute, Rhinebeck, NY, May 1999.

This talk includes an overview of each of the four limitless qualities: love, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity, and an explanation of the four lines of the four limitless qualities chant. One of the key points to developing a connection to each of these qualities is training in relaxing with uncertainty, anxiety, unpredictability, and groundlessness. Another is trusting in the good heart, the buddha nature, of all beings. Such trust develops through inquisitiveness and honesty, especially with respect to our frailties, prejudices, and limitations. Four equanimity practices are introduced.

Self Compassion

I am of this Earth, I am of this sky
And the seasons turn, and so do I
I am made to change, I am made to bend
I am made to break and to grow again

Of This Earth

Belz Nigun (Shark in the Mikveh)
Batya Levine, Aly Halpert, Sol Weiss & G Lindberg

Belz Nigun (Shark in the Mikveh)

little fin, little tooth  
in the murky word  
mama gills fetches thunder  
doot-doot, ack-bla-doot  
song from your gut-cave  
just that doot-doot, ack-bla-doot  

thunder-bird without scream,
mama brings glassy dream,
ring from gasoline queen’s knuckle,  
doot-doot, ack-bla-doot,
gravel in your throat-box,
just that doot-doot, ack-bla-doot.  

glassy dream turns algae-black,
daddy fin brings looking-back,  
mercury pool in cracked sack,
doot-doot, ack-bla-doot,  
humming the mud-spiral, 
just that doot-doot, ack-bla-doot.

looking-back shatters to sand,
mama lassos goat of the land,
beard-on-legs with devil’s hand,
doot-doot, ack-bla-doot,
click in your click-box,
just that doot-doot, ack-bla-doot.

devil-hand goat’s horns cross-wise,
mama trades for rockin’-surprise,
spine of wood with glass-button eyes,  
doot-doot, ack-bla-doot,
electric eel moan,  
just that doot-doot, ack-bla-doot.

rockin’-surprise tips on its side  
mama gets you a dog to ride  
dust-bin barker with nowhere-hide  
doot-doot, ack-bla-doot  
buzz from the neon sign  
just that doot-doot, ack-bla-doot  

barker-dog’s got no bark in its throat,  
mama buys you a cart and a goat,  
no... a horse... or a fish with a coat,
thing on the road that don’t quite float,
doot-doot, ack-bla-doot,
gargling the moon-rock, 
just that doot-doot, ack-bla-doot.  

thing-on-the-road falls apart,
you’re the sweetest razor-heart, 
prettiest teeth in the shoal-depart, 
doot-doot, ack-bla-doot, 
is that... is that all?  
yeah... ack-bla-doot. 


Whispers Of The Shoal by Lori Yamamoto

This one (chorus) came through in Northeast Missouri while singing with a couple people and (verses) in California outside the house I grew up in, standing at the foot of a great Monterey Cyprus tree (not a Redwood!) and watching some vines climb up the brick outside of the house.

Chorus:
Sister you are not too far holding
I need your strength to carry on

Verse 1:
Our bodies are bound like the vines on the side of a house somewhere deep in the heart of the earth

Verse 2:
Our roots intertwine like the Redwood tree somewhere deep in the soil in the soul of the earth

Sister, You Are Not Too Far for Holding

For Pittsburgh and Squirrel Hill. In service of our healing and collective freedom in the midst of intense white nationalist violence in the form of transphobia, racism, sexism, and anti-semitism.  As a reminder that more police and "security" do not make us safer, especially for those of us who hold multiple targeted identities.  We will only win when we are all together.

Lyrics:
we are a beautiful people
though our hearts are broken
we sing for justice, and wholeness

we are a beautiful people
though our hearts are broken
we know that we are not alone
right here we are home

you have taken a universe
you have taken a mountain
our voices echo in the hills

they will not divide us
we will not abide this
we know that together we'll be free
mourning tragedy
our safety is with each other

we are a beautiful people
though our hearts are broken
we sing for justice, and wholeness

we are a beautiful people
though our hearts are broken
we know that we are not alone
right here we are home

toch emunei am segulah (repeated)

hebrew translation: 
from lecha dodi, a prayer greeting shabbes:
among those who hold faith, a treasured nation

gratitude to Chana Rusanov for hebrew lyrics and translation.
gratitude for Rachel Beck for leading me on my own journey against anti-semitism for seven years now
gratitude for Dove Kent, JFREJ, and so so many other brilliant teachers leading us towards solidarity
gratitude for our allies who take the time and effort to see the realities of systemic anti-semitism
gratitude for life, for existence, and the capacity to heal.

Aly Halpert's Album

Beautiful People (Toch Emunei)

the words come from Arundhati Roy's book, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness:

"oh G-d wherever you are
oh G-d whoever you are
please slow us down
please slow us down"

i caught this song in the deep dark winter of February in Boston, grieving the way that power and abuse and capitalism demand cognitive dissonance, and the way that this cognitive dissonance plays out in my communities and my relationships. 

as i wondered what the antidote to such dissonance might be, this song came through. it is a spell for slowing down. for untangling ourselves. for opening our hearts to the aching pulse at the center of the earth.

Slow Us Down

Artist: Scott Kalechstein Grace
I learned from the IfNotNow soundcloud!

Sung at a song circle on July 20, 2019 on Chinook land/Portland, OR.

Lyrics:
I'm gonna let life move me
I'm gonna let life stir me deep
I'm gonna let life wake me from an ancient sleep
I'm gonna laugh all my laughter
I'm gonna cry all my tears
I'm gonna love the rain as deeply as the sun when it clears

I Will Let My Heart be Broken by Debbie Nargi-Brown

Sung with Batya Levine

הָ֭רֹפֵא לִשְׁב֣וּרֵי לֵ֑ב וּ֝מְחַבֵּ֗שׁ לְעַצְּבוֹתָֽם
מוֹנֶה מִסְפָּר לַכּוֹכָבִים לְכֻלָּם, שֵׁמוֹת יִקְרָא

Harofei lishvurei lev um'chabesh l'atzvotam 
Moneh mispar lacochavim lechulam shemot yikra

Healer of the broken-hearted and tender of our wounds
You account for every star and call each one by name

Healer of the Brokenhearted/Harofei Lishvurei Lev — Psalm 147 + Interpretive Translation

Singing circle tune I wrote inspired by a feeling that safety matters, hearts and minds can open when we feel safe in ourselves and in our communities of loved ones.
