  • I Am That I Am (אהיה אשר אהיה)

    It is the day that lights me up

    the night that lets me rest

    the sun shines above my clouds

    the storm puts me to the test

     

    The refuge in my heart

    the warmth of my hands

    and tears wash me like rain

    and water the garden bed

     

    And the rainbow I was after for so long

    appears in my sky like a song

    Without knowing how

    without planning when

    I simply want to be the best I can

     

    I Am That I Am

     

    The searching for a way to be myself

    had to stop or else I wouldn’t find-

    That all along I couldn’t be anyone else

    In my own steps nobody else could ever stride

     

    I leap in faith to realise

    whatever I am looking for out there

    and all the given treasures are alive

    Only Inside this moment

     

    And the rainbow I was after for so long

    appears in my sky like a song

    Without knowing how

    without planning when

    I simply want to be the best I can

     

    I Am That I Am

    אהיה אשר אהיה

     

    Every drop is a blessing

    Every word is a vow

    Every morning - a promise

    Every death is a bow

    Every birth is an oath

    Every breath is a life

    Every life has a pulse

    Every pulse has a heart

    Every heart is a temple

    Every temple - a tear

    Every tear has an ocean

    Every ocean - a drop

    Every drop is a blessing

    Every word is a vow

    Every morning - a promise

    Every death is a bow

     

     

    I Am That I Am

    אהיה אשר אהיה

  • Ein Sof

    I come to You empty, I offer up everything,

    can’t take anything with me when it is my time

     

    My spirit is Yours, my soul, heart and body

    how can this life be mine?

     

    This song, these senses, my failures and successes

    Even my mistakes are yours

    it is my pride that is calling them mine

     

    You breath life into me, like a flute of a man

    I am carried by your hands, You provide what I find

     

    Waves of time keep crashing on the shores of eternity

    where presence lives clear

    Who are You? the One I’m praying to?

    You’re always here

     

    Ein Sof אין סוף

     

    Although I have nothing I know I lack nothing

    for You are the giver of all

     

    On this narrow bridge

    I will walk by Your light

    and I trust I will never fall

     

    Waves of time keep crashing on the shores of eternity

    where presence lives clear

    Who are You? the One I’m praying to?

    You’re always here

     

    Ein Sof אין סוף

     

    Do you know how beautiful you are?

    Your’e asking me to see

    You’ve been saying this all my life

    Your love is what is breathing me

     

    Ein Sof אין סוף

     

    I come to you empty, I offer up everything,

    can’t take anything with me when it is my time

  • Lion's Roar

    The Lion’s Roar

     

     

    The ancient rocks around my bed

    As the moon rises beneath the secret sky

    When the moon falls I hear

    The child’s roar and the lion’s cry

     

    Is it there to show me how?Is it there to tell us?

    Somewhere we were born

    Sometime we will die

     

    Images and visions are said to wake us up

    To hear the Lion roars

    To listen to child’s cry

     

    The ancient me, I see the view

    It’s already written by stones

    Did you notice trees are growing slower than they burn?

     

    Is it here to show me how? Is it here to tell us?

    Somewhere we were born

    Sometime we will die

     

    Images and visions are said to wake us up

    To hear the Lion’s roar

    To listen to child’s cry

     

    Commune, communicate,

    We don’t want anything from one another

    As we approach this moment

    Coming from Past and Futures as we are

    As One

  • It Is Grace

    When I wasn’t as old

    not so wrinkled and bold

    I was carrying a flag without knowing

    what it said I was told

    twists and turns of the world

    that is reaping the crops it is sowing

     

    And I saw with my eyes

    the disguise and the lies

    players of power and fame

    I saw with my eyes

    The wars I despised

    the world the adults were playing

     

    When I was so young

    on my knees i was done

    I was young and I wanted to die

    but the pain wouldn’t stop

    with the death of a mask

    so I broke by the truth and I cried

     

    I cried for the children

    captive by priests

    The pouring down rain, the flowers of pain

    I cried for the women

    used by the men

    selling them for money and gain

     

    I cried for myself

    familiar terrain

    in exchange for a mystery road

    I didn’t know then

    in which way to turn

    but I knew I had to go

     

    It is Grace that guides me home

    It is Freedom that moves me on

    It is Love that brings me here

    It is Truth that makes it clear

     

    When I wasn’t as old

    not so wrinkled and bald

    heavy was the world on my back

    on a mountain path

    I offered my wrath

    In prayer to be right on my track

     

    Sunsets the west

    full moon rises the east

    on top of a temple I stand

    I see a circle in the sand

    no beginning no end

     

    It was grace that i met

    in a hut where I sat

    and discovered I long to be free

    So I stayed up all night

    With all my heart’s might

    begging for clues I would need

     

    It is Grace that guides me home

    It is Freedom that moves me on

    It is Love that brings me here

    It is Truth that makes it clear

     

    In the river she swam

    and reached out her hand

    Inviting me into the stream

    We floated along

    the meandering song

    and dared to vision and dream

     

    She helped me to see

    and asked me to sing

    and gave me her rhyme and her reason

     

    And she stands by me

    Through all that can be

    And the changing of seasons

     

    It is Grace that guides me home

    It is Freedom that moves me on

    It is Love that brings me here

    It is Truth that makes it clear

  • I'm Home

    I was born into war but I wanted more

    so I looked for the love everywhere

     

    The wind and the sea

    and the people that sing

    taught me not to despair

     

    I remember my father’s proclaim -

    Love has no shame

    Your greatest treasure is family and friends

     

    Deep down I knew he was right

    though I put up a fight

    I guess I had to learn for myself

     

    So I left Home in search for Home

    Looking for Home

    looking for Home

     

    I was eager and driven

    to explore what is given

    inspired to see life’s reflections

     

    I was shaken and stunned

    by the beauty and trouble I found

    and how it is all in connection

     

    I prayed for you to come along

    so I’ll belong I’ll be home

     

    Confused and lost what I wanted most

    was to be found and grow

    So I reached out and asked, not pretending I must

    hold on to what I know

                                                     

    Your eyes are black jewels

    the deepest pools

    I can dive in forever

     

    Your mountains inside

    majestic and wild

    I climb and I glide on wings of a feather

     

    Since you came for me, I am Home

    Since you came along

    I belong

    I’m Home

    Near the bed of Death Life is living

    Observing (embodying) the breath and

    That which has no name

    is revealed (clarified) for a moment

    that has no other

    Agreeing to the given that is given

    And all is completed

     

    In the familiar love

    there is ‘I love’ and there is ‘I love the…’

    In the unseen love

    there is no I

    and no-one to love

    There is only Love

    A dewdrop and a crystal play together
    in the cathedral of Silence
    the curtains of the firmament sway with the wind that comes with the breath

    He who rests in unity, unity rests within him even in the heart of desolation

    In the cathedral of Genesis
    the curtains of the firmament move the secrets of the soul

     

    What will be? What has been? What is now? Now is what?

    The music plays and tells

    I am happy you are so

    You are beautiful, fitting yourself
    Within you, you are singing,

    Weaving your world

    You know how to be empty
    So soft 'til I know how it is to be a woman

  • Hanigun Menagen Oti (The Melody is playing me)

     

    When I sit in the bare desert and I see within me a place of desolation
    I just want to discover in the desert of people, the Heart of the well that expresses Life
    It is the view in front of me that knows my name, it is the Silence- not me - that remembers the words
    The snake in my head is slithering, teaching me how to shed Fear

     

    All the sand is colourful and shines with ever-changing hot rays
    'In the Fear of Fear lies the Pain- Death is not for the One who Loves' they say

     

    In every view, there is a hint that is coming towards me

    If I am truly listening- the melody is playing me

     

    When I am in front of the ocean and waves are washing me, cooling down the fire of rage
    from the forgetfulness of our good loving warm home, in the sea of people
    A whale of the depth is sharing its secrets, it is the magic that is calling us to return home

    It is the view in front of me that is calling my name - it is the Silence that is breathing us

     

    In every view, there is a hint that is coming towards me

    If I am truly listening- the melody is playing me

     

    Call it God, call it YourSelf, or whatever name you want
    Call it Family, Rest, The Source that is with you, like the view in front of you

    That is teaching the wonder, the many shades, the many faces
    It is simple - because we are born every new moment into the next one
    A rosary of moments
    One more moment, and another moment, and another moment

     

    In every view, there is a hint that is coming towards me

    If I am truly listening- the melody is playing me

    Time
    That does not exist


    Man is the crown of creation
    What are we doing with this knowing?

     

    What passes within me that isn't like the sea?

    Truth knows that everything is perfect


    The pain is great because as in Love
    What is impermanent is a river of disappointment

     

    Sea, Within it I exist

    Time
    Ends and vanishes

     

    Man is the crown of creation
    What are we doing with this knowing?

     

    What passes within me that is in everything?

    Truth knows that everything is perfect


    The pain is great because as in Love
    What is impermanent is a river of disappointment

     

    What is Eternity? a human being asks
    What is important in the destination is important in the journey

    So singing songs for God is good
    Only now- hug me close, close

    In the land's spirit, in the mountain's fire

    In the sky's name and the river's water

    In the eye of a child, a baby's pupil
    In the tear's salt in a sweet taste

     

    In the land's spirit, in the mountain's fire
    In the sky's name and the river's water
    In the eye of a dog in the middle of the street

    In a memory from the bad from the good

     

    Jah- All is One and together All is One

    Jah- All is one together with every One

    Jah- All is One together for every One

    Jah - All is One together in every One

     

    In the land's spirit, in the mountain's fire
    In the sky's name and the river's water
    In the honey of the moon, in the smell of laughter

    In the eye of a child, a pupil of a baby

     

    In the land's spirit, in the mountain's fire
    In the sky's water and the river's name
    In the sudden of the rainbow out of the cloud
    In the spirit of the moment, in the mother of time

  • Yeled Perach (Flower Child)

     

    The newborn knows what his heart tells him

    The newborn hears what whispers inside
    The newborn trust the wisdom of his path
    A flower child that blooms- the world is his lover

     

    A child gets confused and roams the streets

    Runs in his head, chasing thoughts
    In the world it is strange, it turns around him

    Who can distinguish between what is false and the truth? between his desire and his intuition?

     

    Like a wave that longs for the shore, he asks to be broken to be built to be realised
    That is why he returns and is moved
    That is why he sings out of the fire

     

    In the distress of the night, he searches for Love
    From the morning's cliff, he throws disappointments
    He stumbles his way out of the cage of desires

    Sometimes he'll hear a faint echo and will see footprints

     

    A man that hears the song of the bird of his pain
    The smell of taste of freedom of truth again calls him to return

    A man that remembers the words of his grandfather:
    A flower that blooms - the world is its lover

    An innocent heart trusts the wisdom of its path

    Within you, I find my refuge and my rest

    I come to you from a journey that has tried my soul

    from my eyes, I take off the dust

    and you say to me - come to me

     

    Fire is burning the longing in my heart

    I come to you requesting

    my whole body is whispering

    come and show me the way to the garden

     

    To the garden

     

    There is

    a whole world within a dewdrop

    inside a grain of sand- a tear of the Almighty

    come and paint for me the Eternal

    with the brush of time

     

    To the garden

     

    Here

    an angel opens a gate before me

    and from a hidden place he sends

    a deer that isn't running away

    come and lay the keys of the Heart

    on this doorstep

    Learns to let go

     

    A deep well with my life's water
    The light of your eyes is reflected in mine

     

    Every passing day

    I love you more

    A meandering river

    Learns to let go

     

    The spring of flight, sailing the Infinite

     

    Every passing day
    I love you more

    Togetherness is a miracle

    Fear is melting

     

    I starry skies there is the light of lovers

    Innocent, innocent, pleasant, pleasant

     

    There is a heart in the desert

    On the mountain's side
    Forever it is pulsating
    Forever with you

    Love

  • Michtav Mehodu (A Letter from India)

     

    Sunrise of monsoon, the noise of train tracks and the beatings of my heart

    When the clouds touch the earth, a grown-up child travels
    Into the storm enters
    Remembers to keep the heart open and breath the entire world

     

    You earth gave me blood to carry a soul

    through the morning's rain, the sun is warm

     

    Changing view, blurred out of speed, silence, a bubble, within the carriage

    Melted questions with steaming chai
    A grown-up girl wants to know, asks the whole world.

     

    So this is the crazy one, this is the mad one
    this is the one who doesn't know, the one who sheds

    The masks within her
    She laughs without reason; she cries

     

    Where are they, where are all the men
    From a king to a beggar, from a working man to the family man.

     

    How much war with the tools of force
    The whims of puberty that became a habit

    And thousands of years, the same decoration.

     

    So this is the crazy one, this is the mad one
    this is the one who doesn't know, the one who sheds

    The masks within her
    She laughs without reason; she cries

     

    Just remember to keep the heart open and breath.

     

    You earth gave me blood to carry a soul

    through the morning's rain, the sun is warm

  • Im - Az ( If - Then)

     

    If I am goat
    Lead me to the meadows
    And if I am a fish
    Pour over me rivers of rain
    If I am a scorpion - you are very careful
    And if I am an elephant - gentleness more and more

     

    If I am an eagle - be my mountain
    And if a lizard - be my desert

     

    If you are a bride we will not die to Life
    If you are a Goddess -then there is a God

     

    If you are a gorilla I will be your mate
    I will be watermelon, tasty for your palate

    If you are a princess I will be a prince
    And if you are a Queen I will continue as a King

     

    If you are a bride we will not die to Life
    If you are a Goddess -then there is a God

     

    Laugh on me if I am being lazy
    Tell me in the Light and show me in the Shadow

     

    If you are a bride we will not die to Life
    If you are a Goddess -then there is a God

  • E Haefshar (Island of The Possible)

     

    "Let's embark on a journey," said the wind
    And we went out a lot into the world
    We hardly remained as we were
    And now in front of the mountain, the raven calls

     

    Into the cave to which we escape

    From the chill that is in Time

     

    The moon rises filled with Silence
    And a woman will pray slowly alone
    The desert speaks the whole truth
    That the Ocean is trying to tell the shore

     

    It is the Infinite to which we are going to

    Attracted to the Light without knowing where

    There is no way back
    and the Island that we are washed to in the storm- Island of the Possible

     

    And on the horizon, the sun will certainly set
    And perhaps it will rise again tomorrow
    When the day will awaken the path will continue

    The heavens deliver - It is not late

     

    This is the tomorrow that we are going to
    attracted to the Light without knowing where

    There is no way back
    And the island that we are washed to in the storm-

    Island of the Possible

    The sniper stretches the bow
    Sharp-eyed and strong thigh
    Heart of splendour of intentions
    And the sound of the string that sings

    The flight of the light

    Like a sent arrow

     

    Move within the space of rest
    A fabric of existence that is stretched

    This is Home, the bosom of the family

    And in the eyes of the beholder
    The beauty

     

    And the light that sings in its flight

    Creates his world and surrounds it

    Wheels of eyes
    Angels

    And the dance

    And the ripples

     

    The arrow comes close to its aim (target)

    The creator shot creation
    A song of space that expands silently

    Within each and every cell

    In the body of All that is alive

    This moment

     

    Hear O Israel The Lord is Our Lord The Lord is One
    Hear O Israel The Pure Being is our God The Pure Being is One

    In the forest, there’s a clearing

    In the clearing, there’s a house

    In the house, there is a man and

    In the man, there is a heart

    In the heart, there is a pulse

    Where it comes from no one knows

    From the man’s lips words come out :

    As above so below

     

    I don’t need to die to live in heaven

    Don’t need to die to live in hell

    Just wake up from this dream of separation

    Live in Magic- Be free from the spell

     

    When a man walks to his garden

    He can taste the fruits of love

    Sharing stories with the flowers

    Raise below to above

    In the leaves, there is the sunlight

    In the raindrops there is sky

    In a moment the Eternal

    Simple Being needs no try

     

    I don’t need to die to live in heaven

    Don’t need to die to live in hell

    Just wake up from this dream of separation

    Stone upon stone, rock upon rock

    Walls that I built, roads that I walked

    If lifetimes away, forgotten and lost-

    I gotta make it home

     

    In alleys of towns, in deserts of soul

    I pray for the One I wish to recall

    A faded memory of being held by Love

    I gotta make it home, I’m gonna make it home

     

    And then in a dream, a face would appear

    The eyes have no end, no madness, no fear

    Showing me Home is always near

    Home is always Here

     

    The night ends with light, the breaking of dawn

    If there was ever a wall – it comes tumbling down

    Now I can see what I’ve been shown –

    Home

    I am Home

  • Love Story Road

    The day I met you something sang without a voice

    I could hear the silent music, i did not have a choice

    As if a sea can choose a river or a mountain eagles nest

    I know not what came over me I only felt my broadened chest

     

    At dusk I saw the silver sliver, that hour between the worlds

    My old & rusted shield i carried, turned then to gold

    From dust to dust from dusk to dawn i couldn’t lie at all

    Although I tried I failed each time, you know, you’ve seen me fall

    You know it all

     

    You came to me with ease, no shadow, no pretence

    I knew you came for me even before our first romance

    you told me things I never heard, and they all rang as true

    in love we dive to lose our minds, emerging fresh and new

     

    Rhymes and rhythms came and went, the meanings always stayed

    and when it seemed as though they left, I felt somewhat betrayed

    But then you showed me what I’ve seen the day when we first met

    you said: what IS is what is meant, there’s no roulette, no need to bet,

    Oh no regrets

     

    You came to me with ease, no shadow, no pretence

    I knew you came for me even before our first romance

    you told me things I never heard, and they all rang as true

    in love we dive to lose our minds, emerging fresh and new

    Get wet in the rain, get washed in the flood

    Bodies carried in the river’s stream

    Like turning clothes in a washing machine

    Bodies climb- it is high

    Bodies fall –it is down

    When we’re out all day, we get burned in the sun

    And oh- how we are One?

    How we are…

     

    Everything that happens calls me

    To awaken & remind –

    We are made of Love

     

    Through the wars in the East and the wars in the West

    I’m put to the test so I know how we are

    Nature doesn’t pretend, Love doesn’t defend, and it doesn’t depend

    on whether I’m near or far

    Lest we forget we interconnect for the sake of us all on this blue and round ball

    Whatever makes your heart sing, we’re made of the same thing –

    Nous sommes faites d’amour,

    Born into body I was given a name

    How else will you know me or I’ll know who I am?

    Told how to be taught what to to do

    How did I get here so old and so new?

     

    Fooled by illusion I try to be someone

    Fuelled by my suffering pain wakes me up

    on the edge of a cliff and darkness around-

    I got to be still or I’ll fall to the ground

     

    First light appears through the thickest of night

    No wish for struggle, I don’t want to fight

    Let me be here if only for a moment

    to finally breath into tightened lungs

     

    I drown in emotion, get lost in a maze of thought

    Cannot find home in all name and form

    I’m pushed for the air only to find I am water

    Only to find I am ocean, only to find I am breath

     

    Infinite Oneness miraculous fountain of Ever unfolding Now

    There is One only – only one of us

    Through countless expressions waves of One ocean

     

    Being conscious of being conscious

    Being aware of being aware

    Being aware of being conscious

    Being conscious of being aware

     

    We’re walking one step at a time, there’s no need to journey

    I’m already here, you’re already now

    One foot in the air one foot on the ground

    Past & Future are lost – and the Present is found
