Songs for Our Journey 28

The picture above is of the very first Human to Human Circle Dance and Sing outdoor meetup, in Downtown Durham. Although we did not sing the song below, the lyrics to which are a poem by Rumi, I feel this song captures the spirit of what it was like.  People we had not met joined us in song and dance, and it was a truly joyful experience to, as Rumi says, "move outside the tangle of our minds" together. Our next meetup will probably be the last Saturday in October.  If you'd like to be on the mailing list for Human to Human meetup notifications, please visit www.humantohumancircledanceandsing.weebly.com 

Being The Noise
lyrics  Rumi from translation by Coleman Barks
music and dance © K Hannan 

There is a community of the spirit
Join it, and feel the delight
Of walking in the street, walking in the street
Walking the noisy street, and being the noise

Being the noise, being the noise
Walking the noisy street and being the noise
Being the noise, being the noise
​Walking the noisy street and being the noise

Why stay in prison when the door is open? So wide open! 
Why stay in prison when there is no door at all?

Move outside the tangle of your mind
Move outside the tangle of your mind
Move outside the tangle of your mind
Open your hands, if you want to be held
