ANDITO NGAYON

by Gérone Pascal

Andito ngayon

Sa aking puso

Ang bawat hininga

Maginhawa.

Here  now

in my heart

Every breath

Full of ease.

(Tagalog language from the Pilipinas Islands)

The title recording link goes to a casual recording of Gérone singing it. It will be episode #124 on A Breath of Song…

BORROW TROUBLE

by Patricia Norton

Let me not borrow this trouble

ahead of time.

Let me not carry this sorrow

before it’s mine.

It will come when it comes

and go when it goes.

I will know, I will know.

It will come when it comes

and go when it goes,

I will know.

My trust and love

are banks on the river,

where grief and praise

can find a flow.

My tender heart,

it floats on the ocean.

The waves come,

the waves go.

The recording link goes to my son singing it with me on A Breath of Song — what a treat to sing with him!

RETURN

by Patrica Norton

1. Return. Come back.

Return. Come inward.

Return. Return to now.

[echo]

2. Float through,

let it go.

You are one and many,

even now..

3. Float through,

let it go.

You can tend and trust,

return, return.

4.  Return (5x)

  and trust

Return. Return.

One of those many times I realized I have to keep continuing to practice being present, tend, trust… I don’t get to do it once and check it off!
