My life is filled with singing. This is joyously my singular focus right now. It is about singing well, learning new ways of singing, singing in new languages, learning new songs, singing by myself, singing with others, singing to the Divine. I am thinking about and writing about singing, about chant, cantillation,psalmody and modal music. It is all about singing right now and so I share this poem with you.
Sing the Song
Sing the song,
the one that lights a fire,
a passion in your heart.
Sing of a passion
that kindles the sacred spark of knowing
at the deepest soul level.
Sing of a joy that ignites a fevor,
a bliss that comes
from being at One.
Sing out - sing from the heart.
Express your joy, bliss, love.
Sing a song that lifts the hearts of all who hear you.
Sing of the Source, of the Universe.
Sing of the sacred, the holy.
Sing of the angels, the spirits, the guides.
Sing of the best of humanity -
of compassion and kindness,
gentleness and acceptance,
honor and gratitude,
service and love.
Sing it ALL
