MW Rx. 48 - Please Come Wipe My Tears
Description
Risa came to this week weepy, and Amy came with a song that pleads to an archetype of love and compassion to wipe our tears.
Amy brings a song from 'Shankar Family and Friends', an album that George Harrison (the Beatle who was a follower of Hinduism) produced with songs written and performed by famed sitar player Ravi Shankar and his family.
The song is I Am Missing You, a song that is a plea to Krishna the Hindu god of protection, compassion, tenderness and love.
I am missing you, oh Krishna where are you?
Though I can’t see you, I hear your flute on the wind.
Please come wipe my tears and make me smile
Amy doesn’t want to just deify these characteristics of compassion and protection, so the prescription this week is the reify them - make abstract concepts concrete in your life. Go love. Go protect. Be compassionate in your life here and now. Hear the flute of hope on the wind.
Risa self-prescription is Resistance Revival Chorus on repeat, especially Joy in Resistance.
What the world needs now
Is joy in resistance
We will fight the good fight
With or without your assistance
Move out of the way
If you can't support the mission
What the world needs now
Is joy in resistance
Let's be held by a chorus. Let's lean towards a sense of being together in our resistance. Let's find our joy in each other and keep on keepin' on.
