For me – and probably many of us – music has the ability to connect us to our feelings and our being in a very direct way, touching something that may lie beyond words, longings, joy, pain, hopes and dreams, as well as many memories full of meaning.
In the late 1960s the nascent awareness movement around empowerment through language also had its bards, first and formost perhaps Ruth Bebermeyer. I feel sad not to know much more about her path in life and I feel grateful for the many times Marshall Rosenberg has acknowleged her in his workshops. But here is a page where I collect some music of her – simple songs with very interesting texts.
I want to offer and share some of the works of music which have special relevance for me and hope you will discover some new perspectives or find old friends here.
