“The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you Don't go back to sleep! You must ask for what you really want. Don't go back to sleep! People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch, The door is round and open Don't go back to sleep!” On July 25, I attended a Healing Sound Circle at the Replogle Center for Well-being and Counseling at 4th Presbyterian Church on Michigan Ave. It had been many years since I had been to 4th Pres. I was happy to find the beautiful counseling center behind the church and to see the Labyrinth chapel the church had constructed there. My long-time chant friend @Mary Huddleston played the bowls and sang beautifully while we walked, each for our own cause. I was surprised to hear Mary sing this song: “The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you Don't go back to sleep! You must ask for what you really want. Don't go back to sleep! People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch, The door is round and open Don't go back to sleep!” Just two days before Peter left us, I had taken in for framing a lithograph I had found in Yosemite National Park 11 years previously. These words - "The Breeze at Dawn" were etched against an orange sunrise. It was to hang above my bed in the renewed space at @theoldhomestead that was to be my combination bed and meditation rooms. Those rooms are now the suite occupied by Sam, Peter's cat, who I adopted when the unthinkable happened, when Peter's physical body left me, his family, his friends all of us, curled up in shock. Mary's song was a reminder to me, "Don't go back to sleep! Don't." http://www.fourthchurch.org/rc/events.html#healingsound (at Fourth Presbyterian Church)
