[Oe List ...] A new Singing thread

[Sunny Walker via OE]

A challenge to do it virtually, but I think it’s doable. The challenge is having us online at the same time. Doodle poll, anyone?

I'm in to sing it.  Can we do it virtually?

Remember the Contemplation song?  Here's the deal . . . We get 16 or more (or fewer) of us to video record ourselves singing the song, and then compile it and put it on the ICA Research Channel on YouTube.  Who is in?


CONTEMPLATION

Tune: Those Were the Days

 


When in the midst of strife

The other strikes my life

 

And that encounter 

Will not let me flee

 

It’s then I honor him 

Though he be foe or friend

 

And I become the 

All that is not me.

And in my past I find

The fatefulness of time

 

But then a transfor-

mation comes to me

 

I then begin my poem

In mystery alone

 

And I am Adam

In all History

And the Not-yet I see

Is cut from under me

 

So fast it comes as 

Possibility

 

Then my reality

Is change externally

 

And I become the 

All of yet to be

And deep within I see

The fact that I just be

 

And unrepeatably

This one this self

 

Free passion then I live

My depthless life I give

 

I find that I be

Being in myself.
