Years ago at a retreat in Mexico
we had an exercise of playing soul songs.
We were asked to choose a song
with or without lyrics in advance of the workshop
and bring a recording.
At the event many cds were in a box
and they chosen at random.
The person whose soul song was chosen
sat in the middle of the circle
while their song was played
and we sat around in a circle with them in presence.
It was a very powerful exercise of presence together.
Years later I still remember several student choices.
I wonder if now they would be the same or different?
Has evolution changed the choice of song?
It would be something
we could do at zoom meetings sometimes.
People could bring along their soul song
and we could put them in speaker view
and share in presence with them
their current soul song.
If it has changed from years ago,
they could tell us if they wanted,
what it was
and the difference between now and then.
For those with a new song,
we could revisit this exercise every couple of years.
