Bandits ambush oThers on The road. They get wealth, but They stay in one place. Lovers keep moving, never The same, not for a second! What makes oThers grieve, They enjoy! When They look angry, don't believe Their faces. It's spring lightning, a joke before The rain. They chew thorns thoughtfully along with pasture grass. Gazelle and lioness, having dinner. Love is invisible except here, in us. Sometimes I praise love; sometimes love praises me. Love, a little shell somewhere on The ocean floor, opens its mouth. You and I and we, those imaginary beings, enter that shell as a single sip of seawater. Texts by Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks © 1995 Coleman Barks. Used by permission. Performed by The Millennium Consort, Martin Neary, conductor, and The Pomona College Choir, Donna Di Grazia, director. Water Ruminations is a setting of six...    less

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my Heart, Be all else but naught to me, save that thou art; Be thou my best thought in The day and The night, Both waking and sleeping, thy presence my light. Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word, Be thou ever with me, and I with Thee, Lord; Be thou my great FaTher, and I thy true son; Be thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. Be thou my breastplate, my sword for The fight; Be thou my whole armour, be thou my true might; Be thou my soul's shelter, be thou my strong tower; O raise thou me heavenward, great Power of my power. Riches I heed not, not man's empty praise, Be thou my inheritance now and always; Be thou and thou only The first in my Heart: O Sov'reign of heaven, my treasure thou art. High King of heaven, thou heaven's bright Son, O grant me its joys after victr'y is won; Great Heart of my own Heart, whatever befall, Still be thou my vision, O Ruler of all.  less
