Reflection on Hatikvah/Shalom/Tikkun Olam (Suite for Mother and Child) (9:04)  When Leonard Bernstein learned of the death of his beloved friend John F. Kennedy, he wrote, “This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before.” I must respond with hope, with expectation, Hatikvah, or else I shall go mad. I must create a peaceful space where I may meditate in harmony with my surroundings, Shalom, so that I may gather the energy required to do the work and channel my father Abraham who was a Healer, To begin to repair the world, Tikkun Olam. “The Unanswered Question: Why?” (reprise) “Jennifer” “Lullaby Triptych” (“As I Watch You Sleeping In My Arms,” “Music Box” and “Sleep, Little One” [The first and third songs in this medly have lyrics, which will appear in a future edition. I chose the expediency of presenting just an instrumental, until such time when I can return to the studio. Here are those lyrics.] “As I Watch You Sleeping In My Arms” As I watch you sleeping in my arms, Faerie dust and moonbeams all around you, As I watch you dreaming in my arms, Quietness and peacefulness surround you. Lullaby, sweet lullaby, I'll not let the darkness harm you; Only light will touch your face. Lullaby, sweet lullaby, I could watch you dream forever, Knowing you will wake to me. Ev'ry time I look at you I see myself,       all my fears revealed; Ev'ry time I look inside I see you there,       and my soul is healed. I will lay you gently in your bed, Tuck you in and kiss you on your eyelids. I will leave you to your reverie …. “Music Box” (instrumental) “Sleep, Little One” [Originally titled “Lullaby for Uncle Fester,” the lullby was dedicated to my friend Sal's first-born, Tiffany. Totally bald at birth, she brought the Aadams Family character to mind. Thus, the nickname.] Sleep, little one, sleep, my darling, Floating upon the gentle stream, Through the forest cool and green. Sleep, my darling, sleep, my darling, sleep, my darling. Sleep, little one, sleep, my darling, Rising through fleecy clouds so grand, Gazing upon the peaceful land. Sleep, my darling, sleep, my darling, sleep, my darling, sleep. [“Music Box” reprises] [“Lullaby” concludes] Close your pretty eyes, and before you realize Into a dreamland you'll fly, changed in the wink of an eye Into and enchanted fairy princess, fairy princess. Sleep, little one, sleep, my darling, Resting within the hand of God,' Safely within her warm embrace. Sleep, my darling, sleep, my darling, sleep, my darling, sleep. Shalom, wasalam, om mani padme hum, peace and blessings. Namaste, the Divine in me acknowledges the Divine in you. Be the cosmic cool; I bow to you. Proceed to the Liturgy of the Eucharist
