Several years ago, as I was involved in a project related to the Israeli Palestinian conflict, we were in some intense sort of think tank dialogues at a little center called Talitha Kumi, near Bethlehem. As our work on conflict got more intense, The Being song, Poverty, Obedience, Prayer songs came into my head, almost unbidden. Also the setting of Psalm 13 to some folk song . . . Which is to say, thanks for Tony, for Jon, for Russ, for the community Jim Wiegel In 1770, Captain James Cook, commander of the British ship, Endeavor, discovered the Great Barrier Reef off Australia by running aground on it.

p.s. I was telling Jaime Vergara that my husband used to play guitar and sing this song and I may be able to find the sheet music that he used. If so, I’ll scan it and email it.

Thanks, Susan, for sharing this. Sadly, I have never seen the movie. Great addition to my common memory. Now that there's Netflix, I'll put it on my list. This is one of the first songs I heard as we came to Chicago as very green interns. I know that song made a deep imprint on my life.

I believe the song title is Manha de Carnavale. Remember he sat on a bluff looking over the sea and "made the sun rise" with his song. And then the little kid, when Orfeu died, took the guitar and went out to keep the sun rising. Susan

BEING
Tune: Theme from “Black Orpheus”
My life is as Vast as the sea No boundaries no Floor beneath me.
Yet as I look within No man has greater sin. I am the least of all I daily fall.
But it’s then when I Doubt that I can I choose to be nothing For man.
To die is my lot I live as if not With Paul I merge with all. I see then as Never before The secrets of heaven my store.
With wisdom twice my age My life an open page Though with each insight Gain a deeper pain.
Yet I live with the Lord on my side And wild intuition My guide.
I’m sent as a sign The bread and the wine My form And virgin born. Then I act seeing Action is vain And accomplishments Never as gain.
To only do is less Than forming humanness So mission I must be To set men free.
Called to burn as an Undying flame Each word and each Gesture the Name.
I must through life-loss An exalted cross My place Reveal his face Then the Lord through My life prays a prayer And my being is Filled being there.
I can invent anew what All the saints once knew By being who I am I create man.
And it’s no longer I who is seen But the Lord standing There in between.
Finished as I die Held there between Sky and sod To save our God.
Yes, it's there on the limbs of the worm‑eaten tree where the All and the Nothing can BE.

A last minute request... If anyone has the lyrics for the song, "Being" I would like to use them for my father's memorial service tomorrow.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
