BEING AWAKE

April 1, 2018 By Elise Witt

Words by Macrina Wiederkehr from her book The Seven Sacred Pauses

Music by Velma Frye from her CD Seven Sacred Pauses: Singing Mindfully Dawn Through Dark

BEING AWAKE

Set the clock of your heart, set the clock of your heart

Breathe in the dawn, breathe in the dawn

Raise high the calice of your life, taste the joy, the joy of being awake

It’s the best medicine of all, being awake

Being Awake!
