Title Poems from "Singing The Journey"

Singing the Journey uses our Six Sources as organizing themes, as shown in the sections of the Table of Contents. “The Living Tradition we share draws from many sources,” so come with me now on a short spiritual romp through these six sections as I draw only from the song titles in each section to create Haiku-like poems, to honor the inclusive breadth and creativity of both our Living Tradition and this collection of tunes for Singing the Journey
