Shabbat Shalom

I share the wonderful rendition of Amazing Grace performed by Garth Brooks at the Inauguration.

This beautiful song is for all of us.  There was a time when Jews avoided this piece because of historic frictions.   But if we are brave enough, we can embrace the power, beauty, and majesty of the music as we march forward with all our brothers and sisters in love.

Shabbat Shalom

Between the Holy and Profane

I live between the Holy and Profane

a moving song that describes the space we find ourselves  A song that helps us understand the need for the sacred protective space that is Shabbat.

Shabbat Shalom.

(The English lyrics are below the song.  )

Between the Sacred and the Profane

I live between the sacred and the profane
With the truth that rages within me
With a thousand habits
With every scar on my face
I go out again to scatter the words
Between reality and madness, it’s all coming back to me
The place from whence I came has no peace in it
And this journey is heavy and a little too much for me
I need to grow out of it and that’s it
To grow out of it and that’s it
I live between the sacred and the profane
Between the truth that rages within me
With a thousand habits
With all the fear upon my shoulders
I go out again to scatter the words
Between reality and madness, it’s all coming back to me
The place from whence I came has no peace in it
And this journey is heavy and a little too much for me
I need to grow out of it and that’s it, to grow out of it and that’s it
Please, keep me safe
So that my feet shall not fail
Between reality and madness, it’s all coming back to me
Even the place from whence I came has no peace in it
And this journey is heavy and a little too much for me
I need to grow out of it and that’s it
To grow out of it and that’s it
I live between the sacred and the profane
