Songs for Our Journey - 1

Welcome to day one of my experiment in sharing songs and pictures with you. I hope you'll sing some of these songs, teach them to your friends and children, and generally enjoy the magic that a beloved song can bring to your life.  

The photos are of things I see while I'm walking along singing. Perhaps in their own way they are songs.  Yesterday at sunset, telephone wires turned into gold before my eyes, and a fence 

became a graceful ruffle in a circle dancers's skirt. 


This all reminds me of a Dances of Universal Peace song I learned recently on the internet. The words Hu Allah mean the mysterious, the impossible-to-express-in-words nature of God. It's a very simple song that brings the mind to a spaciousness, empty and alive. 




I don't know the composer's name, but you can hear the Hu Allah song sung by a group and see the very simple and beautiful dance that goes with it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBiB3mccq7A

Kathleen, I just love hearing your sweet voice. It is a clear and sweet as it was some 25 years ago... when we would sing songs to Bailey and make her dance and twirl. <3

I believe this lovely Hu Allah zikr is one of Leilah Be's.
Thank you.
