janett17 Hi Leah. I’m wondering if I could get the chant that you sang after going to the Compassion Inquiry Conference

Prelude 01:43
2.
Be Lived 04:57
Be led, be taught, be shown Be seen, be heard, be known Be love, be love, be lived Be held, be safe, be sound Believe you’ll find your ground Be love, be love, be lived Be touched, be moved, be undone ‘Cause something has begun Be love, be love, be lived Be still, be here, be new Belong to what is true Be love, be love, be lived
3.
Living Will 05:15
Living will lift me up Living will fill my cup Living will bring me such sweetness and joy Living will take me down Living will shake the ground And living will bring much sorrow and pain So no heroics please Just let me sail away on a warm summer breeze Living will let me know A truth to tell, a way to go Yes living may show me all I’ll ever need to grow a living seed Then living to my surprise will take away the thin disguise then send me crying and flying off in space to save another face So no heroics please Just let me sail away on a warm summer breeze Living will set free (and I won’t take it personally) when in dying I fulfill my Living Will … No heroics please I am still at ease Just let me fly away on a warm summer breeze

Let it be wrong (come on now we can do it) Let it be wrong, and help each other through it If we let it be wrong then maybe something new – something truer might come along So let’s let it be wrong Another night staring into empty space The darkness a door we keep trying to open Morning comes and the body falls away and I ask you to stay in the longing How did we decide what mattered then And can we let it go again and again And find a place we can give from She might show us the way

He's so easy He's such an easy man Oh he's so easy He's such an easy man And I tell him everything 'Cause I know I can He's so easy And his lovin' is for free Ya he's so easy And his lovin' is for free And he's never satisfied Until he satisfies me All my friends ask me Where'd you find that easy man Well all my friens as me Where'd you find such an easy man Well I say it's no secret Any easy woman can

More Like Me 05:52
Think how it would be if you were more like me All that you would see if you were more like me All the things you’d know, the places you could go if only you were more like me Think what you could do if you were more like me (Well here’s a little clue) if you were more like me you’d know right from wrong, and how to get along if only you were more like me I can see you’re working hard and looking at your stuff Well just keep tryin’ sweetheart I’ll let you know when it’s enough (ooh more, ooh more like me) You would have more friends if you were more like me Be liked by other men if you were more like me You would be more fun and more pleasing to everyone if only you were more like me You’d be more fulfilled if you were more like me More creative and more skilled if you were more like me A career that works with more benefits and perks if only you were more like me I see you’re really changing, and growing year to year And yet, for some strange reason you are boring me to tears You’d be more direct if you were more like me And you might get more respect if you were more like me You’d have a thicker skin, and all you need to win if only you were more like me You would be more kind if you were more like me Have more peace of mind if you were more like me You’d be more aware and more sensitive, I swear if only you were more like me But wait now my darling, you’re not looking so good Could it be you’re not hearing me? (I feel so misunderstood!) So just think what you could do if you were more like me Well you’d be a better you if you were more like me Think how you could feel; more authentic and more real You could be in touch; stop demanding quite so much We could communicate, and the sex would be so great You would be more wise (Eckart Tolle in disguise) You’d be more evolved; all you’re problems would be solved! So just get over yourself, so you can be more like me
7.
All of That 04:08
You are all of that You are all the things that you may think of and shall make of; you are all of that You are all of that You are all the things that you may dream of and partake of; you are all of that Hey, I see you! Standing at the door Can’t go back inside; afraid of stepping through And it’s okay, just be exactly where you are in all the facets of you And as the story writes you in (‘Cause it has since the beginning) We return, my love to take our place among the living And let the story write you in (‘Cause it has since the start) As we remember, my love how to live by heart

Interlude 01:22
9.
You are living on the other side The morning you went away some said you had died So tell me, dear one, where did you go? And what took you to the other side? I often wander in this place I have a lot of questions about the how and when Could it be because I feel you now I will be with you again? We are living on another side (and sometimes locked away in longing to see) So tell me, dear one, did you know That the question is the key?

Manor Park 06:35
I took a trip across the ocean (Set my tethered mind in motion) to look around the lost and found of you And as I stood among the stones by myself and not alone I tried to find some ties to bind me to And the wind blows soft in Manor Park and whispers something we both know as it floats among the trees dancing with the leaves, in Manor Park And I hear your voice in Manor Park carried on the breath of time And I can feel a love as real as real as the beating of my heart and the wind that blows in Manor Park You who live inside of me (and won’t let go ‘til we are all free) and nothing’s lost and nothing needs to mend And now I know what to do, beyond the memory of you as you revealed the knowing field of love that has no end
