By Ray LaMontagne
Lead vocal: Will Robertson; harmony vocal: Gayanne Geurin
Under Rabbi Josh’s leadership, CBH’s practices have included spiritual direction, the study of ethical musar qualities such as lovingkindness, and meditation. What could be more central to meditation than staying in the present. In its words and its beauty, “Be Here Now” reflects spiritual qualities and values we hold dear.
lyrics
Don’t let your mind get weary
And confused, your will be still, don’t try
Don’t let your heart get heavy
Child, inside you there’s a strength that lies
Don’t let your soul get lonely,
Child, it’s only time, it will go by
Don’t look for love in faces, places
It’s in you, that’s where you’ll find
Kindness
Be, be here now, be here now
Don’t lose your faith in me and
I will try not to lose faith in you
Don’t put your trust in walls ’cause
Walls will only crush you when they fall
It is awakening, moving, and thought/action provoking. Thank you for holding out the messages in these melodies. The album is guided my awareness towards a deep way of living. ctrammell2020
This work is a reflection of the considerate loving kindness of the composers.
I was fortunate to have been a choir student of Rebekka Goldsmith.

It is rich in women's energy, deeply felt sounds of womb energy. A beautiful expression of the best of women in the Jewish hera-tage! Chana Raskin moves my soul, an Irish soul have I! Morgana Morgaine mollymaven
