EL PULSO UNIVERSAL Y EL COLOR DEL SONIDO
LYRICS EN ESPANOL
Independientemente del color de nuestra piel:
del color de nuestro cabello,
del color de nuestros ojos,
del idioma que hablamos
O de cómo elegimos definirnos a nosotros mismos:
culturalmente,
dogmáticamente,
económicamente,
étnicamente,
políticamente,
sexualmente,
sociamente,
o espiritualmente:
CADA UNO DE NOSOTROS COMPARTIMOS LA MEDITACION CENTRADA EN UN PUNTO MAS LARGA QUE JAMAS HEMOS EXPERIMENTADO……….
9 meses
270 días
6,480 horas
En el vientre de nuestra madre,
antes de que nuestros pies toquen nuestra MADRE TIERRA.
Pero mientras continuamos viviendo,
nos quedamos atrapados dentro de los ritmos que hemos creado para nosotros mismos:
los ritmos de la familia,
los ritmos de aprendizaje,
los ritmos de juego,
los ritmos de las redes sociales,
los ritmos del trabajo,
los ritmos de adoración.
Estos ritmos corren sin parar a través de nuestras vidas; dentro y alrededor,
al mismo tiempo y bajo este pulso;
todo el tiempo.
Y mientras seguimos haciendo tiempo para cada uno de estos ritmos,
rara vez hacemos tiempo para estar con nosotros mismos,
y re-alinearnos con este pulso universal,
el cual se ha convertido en un recuerdo que se va desvaneciendo
Y cuando permitimos que eso suceda,
perdemos no sólo un poco de nosotros mismos,
sino también una conciencia y comprensión de cada uno de nosotros como seres humanos y de cómo el pasado inmediato y el futuro inminente llegan a ser todos importantes…….
Y el AHORA desaparece.
Pero AHORA solamente sucede AHORA
con y en cada milésima de segundo
con y en el momento
al momento
a CADA momento
y cuanto se detiene
nos quedamos con y en la
RESONANCIA de nuestros RECUERDOS
y el SILENCIO que estaba antes de que empezó
y el SILENCIO que se reanuda después de que se detiene.
Continuemos esforzándonos por vivir nuestras vidas con:
INTENCION
INTEGRIDAD
INTENSIDAD
PASION
Y
BALANCE
PUES TODOS SOMOS INDIGENAS DE ESTE PLANETA
ARTE
VIDA
Y
VIVIR
Sólo están separados cuando les permitimos ser.
VIVA LA VIDA
VIVA LA GENTE!
THE UNIVERSAL PULSE AND THE COLOR OF SOUND
LYRICS EN INGLES
Regardless of the color of our skin:
the color of our hair,
the color of our eyes,
of the language we speak
Or how we choose to define ourselves:
culturally,
dogmatically,
economically,
ethnically,
politically,
sexually,
socially,
or spiritually:
EACH OF US SHARE THE LONGEST POINTED
MEDITATION THAT WE HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED……….
9 months
270 days
6,480 hours
In our mother's womb,
before our feet touched MOTHER EARTH.
But the longer we live the more
we become entrenched within the
rhythms we have created for ourselves
the rhythms of family
the rhythms of learning
the rhythms of play
the rhythms of social media
the rhythms of work
the rhythms of worship
These rhythms run relentlessly through our lives;
in and around this pulse
at the same time
all the time
and while we keep making time for each of these rhythms,
we rarely make time with ourselves to be with ourselves
and re-align ourselves with this universal pulse,
which has become a fading memory
and when we allow that to happen
we lose not only a little bit of ourselves
but also an awareness and understanding
about each other
as human beings
as the immediate past and the impending
future become all important
and NOW disappears............
but NOW only happens NOW
with(in) every millisecond
with(in) the moment
at the moment
EVERY moment
and when it stops
we are left with(in) the
RESONANCE of our MEMORIES
and the SILENCE that was there before it
began
and the SILENCE that resumes after it
stops
may we continue to strive to live our lives
with
INTENTION
INTEGRITY
INTENSITY
PASSION
and
BALANCE
AS WE ARE EACH INDIGENOUS TO
THIS PLANET
ART
LIFE
AND
LIVING
are only as separate when we allow them
to be.................
VIVA LA VIDA
VIVA LA GENTE

For the last 20 years or so,
I have been one of several musicians
invited to MAKE MUSIC for
LA VIRGEN de GUADALUPE DIOS INANTZIN
which is a pageant play based on the Nican Mopohua
and adapted for the stage by playwright Evelina Fernandez
and directed by Jose Luis Valenzuela
this takes place in the great cathedral of Los Angeles, CA USA
for the last 20 years or so, and I have played every year except
when I was on tour in Europe or when COVID hit the world
I usually recite this piece at concerts, but I kept hearing the voice
of JOSE LUIS VALENZUELA, and asked him if he would be so kind
as to contribute his time, talent and artistry for this particular piece.
He agreed and we are so very grateful for his contribution
GRACIAS JOSE LUIS
